Iowa introduces bill requiring cameras in public school classrooms

Iowa Republican lawmakers introduced a bill this week that would require cameras to be installed in all public school classrooms.

The purpose of the cameras would be to allow parents and guardians to view their children’s classes via livestream.


Teachers and other school staff who fail to keep their cameras in working condition or obstruct the view could be fined up to 5 percent of their weekly salary for each infraction, the bill adds.


“Instead of wasting public funds on monitoring equipment, we should employ additional qualified professionals, reduce class sizes, and provide more programming that helps students acquire the skills they need,” Pringle added.

Anti-mask anger forces Colorado children’s museum to close

https://apnews.com/article/cor...el-health-colorado-m

DENVER (AP) — A Colorado children’s museum is the latest casualty of harassment by people angry over mask mandates designed to curb the spread of the coronavirus.

The Children’s Museum of Denver at Marsico Campus, for decades a popular downtown attraction primarily devoted to those age 8 and under, temporarily closed on Wednesday because of escalating harassment of staff by adult visitors angry over a mandate requiring anyone age 2 and older to wear a mask in indoor public spaces.

“We know the stress of the last two years has taken a toll on everyone in our community, but regrettably some guests who object to the Museum’s mask policy have been inappropriately directing their anger toward our staff,” the museum said in a statement announcing the closure, which began Wednesday.


Across the country, anti-vaccine and anti-mask demonstrations and individual behavior often have taken scary and violent turns. Frequently the assailants are parents. Educators, medical professionals, private-sector workers and public figures have been vilified.

Alabama officials receive complaints about Black History Month as state debates CRT legislation

https://www.al.com/news/2022/0...crt-legislation.html

As Alabama lawmakers look to take up multiple bills in the coming weeks that would ban divisive concepts associated with critical race theory, Alabama Superintendent Eric Mackey on Wednesday told members of the House Education Policy Committee people are confused about what CRT is.


Minority House Leader Anthony Daniels, D-Huntsville, said he didn’t feel much was accomplished.

“I think that the intent is not to actually learn what CRT is or what it is not,” he told AL.com. “The intent is to continue the distraction and the divisive tone of driving fear on an issue that there’s no clarity being provided about.”

I like the idea of cameras in classrooms, however, agree there are bigger priorities.  Because of unions, teachers don't police each other.  Sadly more coaches get fired than teachers. Unions have made it not about teaching kids rather about bad teachers being protected. 

As far as CRT if they are teaching history good. However, if they are teaching one race over another, then no.  No one alive in America has slaves, or was a slave (except sadly sex trafficking). Slavery is a sad thing not just in USA but every country and I understand still goes on in middle east.
