    Principal Wilma Green said seven girls and three boys -- ages 11 and 12 -- had been in study hall when they were told to strip to their underwear.

    She said the boys were sent off with a male teacher and the girls with a female teacher for the searches.

    Green said the disrobing was nothing different from what the children would have done for gym class.

    She added none of the children objected because they wanted to prove their innocence.

    But one boy's mother was so infuriated that she's filed a complaint with police and pulled her four children from the school.
