better to search some kids and be safe rather compared to not doing it.

@RasHorror This has nothing to do with safety. The school dispenses sanitary napkins, that are supposed to be disposed of in special bins that end up in incinerators.
Only 10%-12% of Indian women use sanitary napkins/tampons (2/3 use napkins, and 1/3 use tampons). The rest use rags/towels, etc. The school providing free sanitary napkins, is part of a campaign to improve women's health.
This is what the school said:
[quote]Mr Tiwari has constituted a three-member committee to probe into the incident. He assured the girls that strict action will be taken against the hostel warden if she was found guilty.[/quote]
In addition, this is about a sanitary napkin, not a tampon. The reason the school dispenses napkins, is due to the popular myth in India, that a tampon causes a girl to lose her virginity.
Plenty of things to be outraged about, like ritual rape, and wholesale corruption, but not this.
