Students at Lipson School in Plymouth UK returned from a one-week break to discover closed-circuit security cameras in the lavatories (They were "the round ones that can move," said one 15-year-old who saw them). After hundreds of students protested, the school agreed to remove the cameras.
I'm not sure I believe principal Steve Baker when he says he didn't know about the cameras, but if he's telling the truth, he should either fire the creep who ordered them to be installed, or he should resign in shame for not knowing what's going on in the school he is paid to oversee. However, Baker says he's not going to even discipline the unnamed miscreant who had the cameras installed. "It's a learning situation, not a disciplinary one," Baker said.
Principal Steve Baker said contractors fitted them on the orders of another staff member, who did not have the measure approved by him or school governors.
Mr Baker added that the system had now been disabled and would be removed as soon as possible.
He said: "Someone made an error. They had no authorisation from me or from the governors to install these cameras"
