4/4) when black folks go above and beyond.... oh say saving a child from a burning building, dying while serving, or stopping an armed man... well “you are just doing what’s expected”. Nothing to be praised or appreciated about. I guess giddy while being black is the new threat.

3/4) so I’d like to know & make sure that “giddy” is applied equally, not the knew stop & frisk or “I felt threatened” excuse. At the same time blacks aren’t allowed to travel, drive, have a BBQ, enter our place of residence, or mow a lawn. I guess Tamir Rice shouldve been a sign

2/4) I am curious what is their definition of giddy is, and is there a check list for this? Because at that age a poster of a boy, cute guy passing, new outfit, plans for the weekend, puppy, and or sharing some of my wild dreams of becoming famous had us tripping...

This Will be long... 1) i did a search for the term giddy on twitter to see what would come up.... giddy used as a word to justify strip searching... (1/4)

The message underneath asking young girls to remove their clothes for being happy while together is ominous and dire on many levels.

This should not and will not be tolerated

Dear God, I pray this is not true because if it is then the entire administrative staff needs to go

NO, NO, NO, this cannot be excused! The individuals involved must be fired & never allowed to work with children again. Children & teens are happy & giddy, so how is this a crime? Who the fuck thinks it's okay to disrobe children & touch their bodies😠 these poor girls, oh my God

Why do have to say they’re black? Why can’t we just say students

They were laughing so they had to be strip searched. Yup. That sounds right (in nowhere land).

ArlanWasHere How can they admit, apologize improperly and then come back and say it didn’t happen at all?The first day didn’t they say something like they were sorry the girls felt traumatized by the ordeal? Not that it occurred? This is just insane.

Yeah, before you go getting yourselves all worked up over Fake News- take a minute to think about this allegation. Strip Searched implies REMOVAL OF ALL CLOTHING. THINK! No way that happened.

They were NOT strip searched! If you call removing a jacket & shoes a strip searched, go after the TSA!

Oh, ffs!!!

The school officials responsible need to be suspended until an investigation into their actions is completed. This had to be devastating to the poor girls and their parents. Shame on Binghampton Scools!

Don’t be giddy- be yourself like gloomy- world we live in

We’ve already been there done this. SCOTUS says nope. You can’t strip search kids. So WTF? Sue the pants off them!! Poor kids will be traumatized forever. It’s horrible.

Um..:why not just have them take a drug test? Or better yet...just assume that they were in good moods that day and didn’t need to feel humiliated?

Aren't 12 year girls usually giddy and animated? Seriously? This is such bullshit.

For being 'giddy'? Heaven forbid that middle-school girls are overly happy w their friends.

The Principal R. Kelly was not available for comment at this time.

I'm curious is this normal in that school? Or in schools in general? No student should be forced to be strip searched. I know this sounds like a stupid question but if this happened at this one school, imagine how many other schools see no problem with it

If they were checking vitals its a check up if looking for contraband its a search. Removing a shirt is not the same as removing bulky outerwear. Does state policy allow this?

Giggling while being a 12 yr old girl is probable cause to eval for drugs? Couldn’t the principal just have a talk with them? The rise to full drug use eval makes this suspect and out of line. And big of them not to punish the girls for giggles during lunch.

They were 12 ....

They wouldn't have searched mine! They would have said NO! Then they would have had me on their asses! And I guarantee they wouldn't want that smoke! These people in these schools have lost their minds!

HenriettaSnacks Where is Tarana Burke?

Totally uncalled for and unnecessary. If I was their parent, I'd be upset too. This was not right. All because they were happy and laughing... 😢💔😔

truth needs to be found out. School denies bare naked strip search. Girls say it happened. Someone is lying...If school is lying they are afraid ....if girls are lying - they want money.... Walt until all the facts come in!!!! A “strip search” removing jacket/shoes is not naked

You tweeters were not there so your call for punishment is ridic. So much false info being spread to stir race tension. If the school suspec, did noth & and something bad happen, “why didn’t school prevent this, because they are black?” Stop furthering racism.

I am out raged at this. Students trying to get an education but the racism within the schools in the United States is bad. If you can’t teach everyone you shouldn’t teach at all. Or be a principal or counselor many schools also has that problem! Stop Racism in schools

I can't imagine the school saying it did not happen if it did not happen. I can imagine the girls after they were asked to remove their jacket and shoes taking it further and saying they were strip searched. Someone is lying.

She had no right and should loose her license but I am sure she is white and the girls are black

The school can search with probable cause...giddy is not probable cause. Even tho there strip search term is being argued that it was just jacket,pocket & shoes...its still not probable cuz they were giddy. I'd be more worried if they were down than up.

Racist and misogynistic. I hope they sue the crap out of the people that did this.

Fire them immediately.

As a father of a 11 year old daughter. Know this. I will fck up anyone who even thinks about stip searching my kid.

I can check my own kid out, thank you very much. I know them best. Do not touch. These schools go to far in the wrong direction

sue them for all they got. its just damn wrong and abuseful.

lets please let them know BLACK GIRLS MATTER all women DUE..

AmericaSoWhaat 4 girls tell a story? And the school throws them under the bus
