Okay... the information that I have recieved is that all the parents
were given written slips that the physicals were available.
NO child would be given an physical unless the parent signed the
slip and it was sent home. Also, the child were given the opportunity
to have a parent present.
However, the State police direct the investigation of this case to
the Montgomery County Attorney General's office. The investigation is under-way.
I recieved this information from the Montgomery Attorney General's
office, who were very nice and seemed very interested in asking for
feedback.

Schools Are Going Too Far: from Brannon Howse
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE-URGENT ACTION REQUIRED
Last week I received a press release from Pam Hoffecker about 59

The school was sued by the parents and won the case. The judge said that the very people that were supposed to protect them violated them. No parent had given permission for a vaginal exam on their daughters. They had no idea. Mandated by the state and
