That something is 'government owned' is no excuse for such a disgusting violation of privacy. Services paid by taxes should serve, not act as means to control people.
> We (as the school district) were wholly responsible for what the student's did on these school owned devices.
Why?? By what legal theory?? If person A gives item X to person B, why would A be responsible for what B does with X? Maybe if B was a minor and did not get parental consent - but that was not the case, was it?
- shantly 7y agoSchool administration operates under a not unjustified terror of having their careers ruined if anyone successfully accuses them of "letting something happen", whether it would have been reasonable that they stop it or not. Where "something" is usually bullying, any sex stuff, or self harm or suicide. If you assume that for every decision they make the #1 concern is to make it as difficult as possible to personally blame them for anything, that'll be a good guide to understanding their behavior.
