Not at all. My kids wouldn't except a "gift" like this from the State. Nor are they allowed to have TV's/Computers in their rooms.

Try being a good parent first. Or is that too much to ask?

If you're truly a libertarian, you'll agree with us. This case should be a slam-dunk for the plaintiffs.

(1) The school district requires every student to take a school laptop. They aren't permitted to use any other laptop for their classes.

(2) The students are required to carry their laptops from class to class.

(3) Each student is required to pay an insurance fee for his or her laptop. If he fails to pay the insurance fee, he cannot take the laptop off-campus. However, the insurance fee is waived for lower-income students.

(4) School administrators admitted they never informed students or parents that the school could activate the webcams remotely to look in on the students at home.

My husband works in IT, and he said the IT people at the school should've known they could NEVER do something like this. This security consultant explains more.
