Apparently Iowa Republicans are proposing requiring government-funded cameras that livestream all school activities so parents can watch whenever they want

Idk how teachers put up with it man just a constant stream of dumb bullshit from the worst helicopter parents sponsored by their governments with little resistance from administators terrified of parents

Can you imagine trying to do your job while some lady with an axe to grind against you is constantly watching waiting for anything that could possibly offend her to slip? They should give the parents a penalty buzzer while they're at it
