Parents in Gustine, Texas are enraged after elementary school students were ordered to pull down their pants.

According to ABC's WFAA8, the order came because the educators at the school had been finding feces on the gym floor.

About two dozen students were rounded up and taken to two rooms - boys in one, girls in another.

They were then ordered to pull down their pants so that the teachers could see if they could find anything.

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

According to district Superintendent Ken Baugh, the district is investigating the matter.

"That's not appropriate, and we do not condone that," Baugh said.
