The kids weren’t allowed to do it.
The students themselves are claiming the following:
Possession of a monitored Macbook was required for classes
Possession of an unmonitored personal computer was forbidden and would be confiscated
Disabling the camera was impossible
Jailbreaking a school laptop in order to secure it or monitor it against intrusion was an offense which merited expulsion
The government schools really do believe that parents and kids are nothing but obstacles in their way, on the road to total power.
They lie. They steal. They demand taxes be paid to them.
Crush the school system, and homeschool.
