I don't agree with the camera in the bathroom but the kid had no right to steal it either.

I for one would not convict him for stealing, no more than I would convict the players in the Boston Tea Party of any crime.

Yeah, like our ancestors had no right to throw tea into the harbor.

What they are doing is teaching our children that it is normal for agents of the government to search them, search their possessions, make them pee in a cup, watch their most private moments with cameras, check their underwear to make sure they are not thong underwear, etc. etc. We have seen episodes of raids where they have handcuffed innocent children and searched them on the pretense of a "hunch" about drug activity. We've seen kids strip searched for 5 dollars. We see kids suspended for wearing a tourist t-shirt from a US Army base because it had an image of a statue of a US soldier on it holding a rifle.

They are training your children that they are subjects with no rights. I want my children trained that they are United States citizens with every protection of the Bill of Rights and that every minor government functionary is bound by the chains of the Constitution. That IS what a Free Republic is.

People amaze me sometimes that they do no jealously guard their liberties, and the liberties of their children in exchange for some feeling of security or order. They deserve neither liberty nor security.
