YCD supports Ann Arbor Pioneer students in fight against cameras

Not JUST cameras, cameras EVERYWHERE. $80,000 worth of cameras in and around the high school. The Ann Arbor Pioneer students, bless them, have decided they do not want invasive cameras everywhere and have, along with their parents and with help from the ACLU, are trying to stop Ann Arbor School Superintendent Todd Roberts from making the high school into more of a prisoner camp. Of course the usual meme is being trotted out by some school officials, security reasons, theft deterrant yada yada yada. All words. Nothing more.

YCD asks, we have cameras all over the place and yet the crime rate is way UP. These cameras will not stop fights or theft or crimes, they don't in regular society. Crime does not drop when cameras are present. Jesus, look at the news, almost every night somebody is seen committing a crime on a store or convenience store video camera. It didn't stop anything.

No, you Ann Arbor Pioneer kids hold firm. Johnny would not have stood for this kind of thing when he went to school, school should not be run like Jackson Prison. I mean we have the head count and the feeding part down, do we really NEED (and the key question here is do we NEED these cameras) to go the Full Jail Monty with cameras?

Also kids, if they DO impose these cameras on you, maybe a school class project on the power of magnets in the hallways is needed, you know, big invasive magnets that screw up video feeds.
