School spies on students by giving out free laptops with web cam

The case, Blake J. Robbins v. Lower Merion School District, was filed after one of the school’s vice principals disciplined Robbins’ son for “improper behavior in his home,” using a photo taken from the camera as evidence, according to the filing.
The laptops were issued to 1,800 students at three high schools in the district, each with a built-in webcam that, according to the lawsuit, administrators can activate remotely and covertly. The suit is a class action, brought on behalf of all the students and their parents. They’re seeking damages for invasion of privacy, theft of private information, and unlawful interception and access of electronic information

if my school did this to my school i would have been one of the first to have parents notified im sure.
sweet. the school i went to would take punish people for stuff that was found on myspace. a pic of you with a cig in your hand ( despite being 18 ) could cause some academic repercussions.
this tho is completely on a whole new scale. completely wrong.
