Lawmakers are moving forward with a bill that would require school districts to place camera in special education classrooms.
The bill’s author, State Rep. Becky Cash, says its intent is to protect both students and teachers in the event an incident happens.
Though most Democrats who spoke on the bill in its final reading in the Indiana House on Wednesday say it’s a good idea, most also voted against it for a variety of concerns ranging from privacy to funding.
The bill passed along party lines and will now be up for debate in the State Senate.

There needs to be two cameras in EVERY classroom in opposite corners (one in the front and one in the back) that parents of the children in that classroom have access to for the times their children are there. The recordings should be freely available to parents, and they should be able to question any content in that room.
Only if the are available to the parents…not the all seeing eye of Big Brother. But then if you have to spend that much time monitoring the classroom why are you not home schooling?
Shut the indoctrination centers down and reopen the mental institutions.
That’s why I was specific with recordings. Not everyone would have time to monitor them all, but if a child reported a problem then the parents could at least review it…
