21 | Red Ryder BB Guns and Remote Learning

What privacy rights do students have during virtual instruction? How should schools enforce school rules in the remote classroom? What happens when Big Brother thinks, "You’ll shoot your eye out"? That's right; this case involves a Red Ryder BB gun and a 5th-grade student (who is probably not named Ralphie). In this episode, we explore the intersection of privacy and technology with the case of Lancaster v. Board of Education of Baltimore County. Stay tuned as we discuss the complicated situation that unfolded after a student's school noticed what they thought could be firearms in the student's background during remote learning. We also discuss a recent Louisiana law that requires the Ten Commandments to be displayed in every K-12 classroom within the state. --- We're building a Teaching Guide! Check it out ⁠here⁠.
