Would your change your mind if massgopguy's assertions that others friendly to the program were taping the event was verifiable?
Well the issue there is that people taping the event that are friendly to the program are likely to have the permission of the students involved. If the students involved, or even just one of them objects to it being taped, it should not be taped, under any circumstance. The rule applies to everyone.
Well, I don't beleive for a second that the parent of every kid there expressly gave permission for their kids to be taped. The liklihood of that is practically zero.
