stryde.hax has done a great job here. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Never underestimate the creativity of public education administrators (government workers) to extend and enforce their control over their charges. “Mandatory” public education provides a constant and unending source of captive subjects.
I’ve seen some interesting accusations about the family who brought this suit against the district. Regardless of their track record or their motivations it is clear they were the recipients of public educations obfuscation and denial strategy. The only language the system recognizes is a good lawsuit and even then that is tenuous. They believe they are omnipotent and above the law and never hesitate to act on it. Most times there is no recourse but to sell your house and move away.
Whether due to purposeful action on the district’s part to violate privacy rights or due to pure stupidity, they are in a heap of trouble. Let them be an example and serve as a warning to others. Left unchecked government run education is frequently a danger to the well being of children and their families. “Children First” is the myth they hide behind. Don’t listen to what they say, watch what they do. . . very carefully.
They’ll claim ignorance of the law. That will be their defense, and they’ll think that’s sufficient. After all, they are public school teachers and administrators. They are only checking up on the children for their own good, since parents are too ignorant, shiftless, and lazy to do so, even in a school district where the parents are probably much better educated than they are.
I bet a lot of people are losing sleep over this. There should be “zero tolerance” for this type of criminality. We aren’t talking about plastic knives in lunchboxes or drawings of guns or fake drugs. We are talking about real criminal behavior and ignorance is no excuse.
When the law is against you, argue the facts. When the facts are against you, argue the law. When both are against you, attack the plaintiff. - R.Rinkle
I was wondering how long it was going to take before they slandered the plaintiff and set up the IT guy. Less than a week...that's got to be a record. /sarc
