School District sued for spying on kids?

Ive been reading about this story for a couple days now, the story is here , heres the gist of it. The Lower Marion School District gave the students school issued computers, 2,300 to be exact, equipped with webcams.The webcams were activated but only given the ability to take stills of the user and the desktop. The District maintains that it was done to find lost or stolen equipment, but the students and parents feel that they were being spied on, the district is accused of illegal wiretapping. So i ask you, would you allow this to happen to you or your children? Would you press charges against the school district? let me know what you think

  1. This school district made a huge mistake by not having consent forms signed. I believe they violated the civil rights of these students.
