The families had sued the Overton County schools and security company Edutech over taping in 2002 and 2003 by cameras in the boys' and girls' dressing rooms at Livingston Middle School.

...

The cameras recorded images held on a hard drive that could be accessed over the Internet. The images were reportedly accessed 98 times between July 2002 and January 2003.

...

The families contended that the camera angles captured significant portions of the dressing rooms and showed the children in various states of undress.

Two questions come from reading this...

A) why on earth would a public school think putting cameras anywhere in a dressing room of a middle school is a good idea???

B) assuming there is SOME answer to question A, why on earth would anyone think to broadcast the feed onto the internet???

This is what you get with government-run schools.

Just look up Stroudsberg, PA if you want a REAL horror story of what they might do to your kid in a public school!

Key statement from that 2nd link...

"On one side you have parents who say it is and always has been our right and responsibility to raise our kids. On the other side you have Hillary's Village a.k.a. the government via Goals 2000, saying that all kids belong to them to do with as they see fit."

God help this country if she wins.

1st - no way.  If that were my daughter I would have a real hard time not acting out directly against those involved.  Sure - I could sue - but even if I won, I don't think that would "do it"... especially in the 2nd link.

RE 2nd link - This is the real problem I feel

The Pennsylvania State Police were called in to investigate whether any laws were broken.

Too many laws, too many "experts" trying to force "compliance" & herd mentality, & too many people NOT standing up for what this country is supposed to be.

And you KNOW the little governor thinks that way when he repeals the parental notification law. I mean if they can do that to your kid, what else can they do without your knowledge? Some of those 11 year olds will now never have a normal life because of that what happened in PA.
