School In Mexico Allegedly Forced Students To Strip

MEXICO CITY -- Mexico's Human Rights Commission is investigating an elementary school for allegedly forcing sixth-graders to strip down after $13 disappeared.

The commission is launching its probe following parents' complaints and a report by the human rights commission in the western state of Michoacan.

The national commission said in a statement Sunday that the principal and teachers of a public school in the city of La Piedad ordered the children to take off their clothes on Sept. 23 when they were searching for money that had gone missing in the classroom.

The commission sent staff to interview the students and other local authorities.

Phone calls to the elementary school seeking comment Sunday went unanswered.

Let me guess, the Principal and all the other teachers were all men, and the students who had to strip down ,were all girls... And the male students, had all the female teachers strip down. You gotta love these macho 3rd world Countries.

Actually, the principal was a woman. Both boys and girls were ordered to strip in separate rooms. You are not even mildly witty and btw, this has happened in the US too! Gotta love those First World Macho countries!

To the honor of Mexicans, it was against their law as well. That is why special commission investigates the incident.

One associate commentor...stated that the Mexican Human Rights Commission, sent the rest of the school to go find the perpetrators of the $13.00 dollar loss. So the Mexicans thought the best way to deal with this is to have all the students, strip, and go naked.. Now thats law..do it or we will send you home. Did the Mayor attend, the festivities? It was a good day, yes?
