texas school district finds poop on floor. separates kids by gender and inspects underwear [View all]

Nearly two-dozen elementary school students were reportedly forced to undergo an underwear inspection after feces were repeatedly found on their gymnasium's floor.

The partial strip search performed in the small town of Gustine, Texas, on Monday has since led to outrage by both students and their appalled parents.

"I felt uncomfortable and I didn't want to do it," 11-year-old Eliza Medina told KHOU. "I felt like they violated my privacy."

Eliza's mother, Maria Medina, said the students were separated by gender before they were ordered to "pull down their pants to check them to see if they could find anything," she told the station.

Eliza said she tried to protest the search but was told it was mandatory.
