Schools spying on students

Most US schools monitor everything students say and do on their school-supplied laptops, and students are in a substantial danger of being charged or harassed as a result.

If this massive surveillance continues, parts of the US may jail students for seeking abortion resources (or birth control, or whatever the Christian Taliban may prohibit) using those school-supplied facilities.

A school-supplied laptop that allows connection to anything but the school's own servers is bait — tempting students to browse the web under direct monitoring by the school and the local thug department. Paradoxical as it may seem, perhaps schools should be legally required to limit these computers strictly to class assignments, so students won't make the mistake of using them for their other activities.
