The Solution to Failing Schools: a God-Fearing Police State

Hello Children,

The other day, I come across something what for the first time EVER done give me pause to reconsider my stance of the EVILS of PUBLIC EDUCATION (i.e. INDOCTRINATION!).

Now don’t you for one minute think I believe we ought be sending children to be INDOCTRINATED by the ISLAMOFASCIST HOMOSEXUAL COMMUNISTS (i.e. TEACHERS) in PUBLIC SCHOOLS today…but that might change soon.

See my ol’ nemesis, Ed Brayton {Here}:

I had two people email me a link to this story, which may be the most outrageous invasion of privacy I have ever heard of. Get this:

According to the filings in Blake J Robbins v Lower Merion School District (PA) et al, the laptops issued to high-school students in the well-heeled Philly suburb have webcams that can be covertly activated by the schools' administrators, who have used this facility to spy on students and even their families. The issue came to light when the Robbins's child was disciplined for "improper behavior in his home" and the Vice Principal used a photo taken by the webcam as evidence.

You can read the full complaint here (PDF). The allegations are mind blowing. The parental plaintiffs say that the assistant principal at the school informed them that their son was engaging in inappropriate behavior and they produced a picture taken by the webcam of the computer and informed them that the school could turn on the webcams remotely any time they wanted.

This is obviously a violation of several state and federal laws as well as, most importantly, the 4th amendment. This is truly 1984 territory here, folks. Remember the television sets that allowed the government to view people in their homes? That's precisely what this allows them to do. Every single person involved in this process, from the decision to program the computers to allow such remote viewing to the people who actually carried it out, should not only be fired they should be in prison.

Now that all sure enough sounds SCARY! And in the hands of a government headed by “President” Barack HUSSEIN Obama, it IS scary.

Cause you can’t trust LIBERALS with that sort of power! Not only ain’t they got the INTELLECTUAL capacity to use it prudently (if Libs wasn’t so DUMB, they’d be Republicans! ), but they also ain’t got the moral fortitude NOT to abuse it!

But that ain’t the case with us REAL Americans! REAL Americans like George W. Bush (the best president EVER) and Dick Chaney know how to wield such power with RIGHTEOUSNESS!

Which brings me to my optimism regarding this here development.

Once us Republicans retake the Presidency and both Houses of Congress in 2012 (crossing my fingers for a Dick Cheney/Sarah Palin run!), we can very quickly take advantage of this!

Just imagine how much easier counter-terrorism would be if’n the NSA was able to access ANY webcam ANYWHERE in the United States without all that nonsense about Constitutional “rights”!

Just imagine how much simpler it would be for the Morality Police (to be set up by SecState Mitt Romney) to ensure nothing sinful was going on behind closed doors, if’n all they had to do was switch on a computer!

If you ain’t got nothing to hide, then you ain’t got to worry!

God bless you, Lower Merion School District! Once again, REAL Americans in Pennsylvania are leading the nation in GODLY pursuits!

Update 2/25/2010: Well, well, well; looks like Barack HUSSEIN Obama decided he'd better SIC THE FEDS on them poor, good-hearted school administrators!
Typical LIBERAL response: send in the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT to stick its nose into matters best left to local REAL Americans!
