School board acts promptly to shoot the messenger

APP.COM - Video of teacher's outburst is on Web:
"'We as a Board of Education realize that we are ushering a new era and will be forced to review our policies and perhaps enforce a more stringent districtwide policy regarding electronic recording devices in the classroom,' [Schools Superintendent Thomas L.] Seidenberger added."

I suggest, to avoid any future misunderstanding, that the school officials of Brick, NJ, adopt an unambiguous policy. How about this:
The recording or reporting by any means whatsoever of any incriminating images, information or data of any kind regarding the activities, interests or attitudes of school trustees, administrators, teachers or other employees is absolutely forbidden under all circumstances. This is in keeping with district policy that, in all matters related to the health, safety and well-being of the students committed to our care by the state, we are right and you are wrong, whoever you are. Or, in the immortal words of Bart Simpson, "I didn't do it, nobody saw me, you can't prove anything."

That ought to do it.
