School Spies With Webcam!

In case you missed it, homeschoolers everywhere are rolling their eyes about this news item.  A class action lawsuit has been filed against Lower Merion School District (just outside of Philadelphia) because they used a webcam to spy on a student in his home.   This really creeped me out because we used to live literally a stone's throw from this school district.  Since it was by far considered to be the best in the area, when my son was born the thought crossed my mind that we should seriously think about moving there.  The family says their 15 year old son was accused by a school official of selling drugs in his home, and they had pictures of him holding up "pills" to prove it.  They were Mike & Ike's candy.  The school district said the webcams were activated remotely to take still pictures when the laptops they provide to every student were reported lost or stolen.  The family says they never reported his laptop lost or stolen.  There's a news article about it  here and a video interview with the family here.  The FBI is now investigating.
