In Rhode Island, students and parents must let schools spy on them day and night through their laptops

I’d just like to make sure that everyone remembers what it was that got the Pennsylvania case started:

On February 20, 2010, Haltzman, Robbins’ counsel, told MSNBC Live that Robbins had been sitting in his home eating “Mike and Ike” candy in front of his school-issued laptop. The attorney said that the vice-principal had accused Robbins of taking illegal pills after seeing him eating the candy in a webcam image.

(From wiki)
This is how they found out, not that the district could do this, but that they had. The kid ate some candy, possibly while doing homework on the school issued laptop.
Do you want to go through that? Do you want your kid to?
