IMO, every classroom in a tax-funded institution should be equipped with two cameras, one in the rear of the room focused on the teacher's area, and one in the front of the room focused on the class area. Both should be networked and access available over the interned, either to the general public, or by password to parents of students, and education supervisors.

This would quickly cut down on this sort of liberal crap, AND improve student discipline.

I have proposed this for several years. The NEA and other teachers unions will fight it like crazy. It should be promoted by the state legislatures that are currently controlled by Republicans as a way to improve student performance, while it can also disprove any false allegations of inappropriate touching by high school or elementary school teachers. That, in turn, could perhaps lower insurance costs. Taping could also prevent real child abuse by teachers, and bullying and disruptions by students. Videotapes should be retained for at least two weeks. If teachers and students knew that all classroom lectures and behavior were being recorded, it would make for a much better learning environment.
