stryde.hax has done a great job here. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Never underestimate the creativity of public education administrators (government workers) to extend and enforce their control over their charges. “Mandatory” public education provides a constant and unending source of captive subjects.
I’ve seen some interesting accusations about the family who brought this suit against the district. Regardless of their track record or their motivations it is clear they were the recipients of public educations obfuscation and denial strategy. The only language the system recognizes is a good lawsuit and even then that is tenuous. They believe they are omnipotent and above the law and never hesitate to act on it. Most times there is no recourse but to sell your house and move away.
Whether due to purposeful action on the district’s part to violate privacy rights or due to pure stupidity, they are in a heap of trouble. Let them be an example and serve as a warning to others. Left unchecked government run education is frequently a danger to the well being of children and their families. “Children First” is the myth they hide behind. Don’t listen to what they say, watch what they do. . . very carefully.
When I first hear about this I assumed that the Plaintif’s attorney was spinning - that no school would be crazy enough to spy on students at home. It appears I was wrong.
