		<description>Good judgement is important.  Not that Principal Schellenberg or ACLU Borig has any.  It's a case of two or three stupids.

As for the kiss, good judgement is necessary.  If it was just a peck, so what.  However, if it was making out passionately all over the place on top of lunch trays, a groping, moaning frenzy - then yes, the parents should be notified and shown the video - this is what your kids did in school.  Parents are still responsible for their children.  Boyfriends and girlfriends in high school do give each other an occasional smooch. I don't know what the school district's policy is on it, but they have a right to have a policy regarding that behavior at school and sticking to their rules.  Just because the kids were two girls shouldn't matter.  Is it criminal behavior to be lesbian?  We can debate morality all day long, but criminal?  I think the school has to  accept that kids are different.  Some people are homosexual whether anyone likes it or not...or is comfortable with it or not.  

For the student to accuse that her privacy was violated shows how immature and delusional she is.(or simply a teenager)  To think you have privacy when you're kissing someone of the same sex in front of your entire school is ridiculous!  ACLU, go chase another ambulance.

Would I want to see a video of my own child doing that?  It depends.  A simple smooch is not inappropriate.  And if I had previously contacted the school and asked about suspicious behavior, as her parents had, then perhaps I suspected what the deal was anyway.  Perhaps the thing here is the parents defining suspicious behavior.  Did they mean drugs, stealing, cheating, aggressive behavior, or sexual preferences or just anything out of the ordinary?</description>

		<description>Yet another reason to keep you kids out of public schools.  This is yet another example of government believing that they own your kids; that you are serving them, not that they are paid employees of the taxpayer.  

Unemployed government teachers is the only way to show them the truth.  Take your kids OUT!</description>

		<description>So the ACLU is attacking this from a "gay vs. straight" issue?? Interesting.  Are they at all concerned about cameras in the schools to begin with?  But as long as they got the footage I think there's no problem showing the parents.  Is that what the ACLU is REALLY upset about????</description>
