School officials make the dubious claim that "the technology has detected dozens of imminent threats of suicide or violence."

Oh, really? Do they have data that shows a significant reduction in violence since surveillance started, or is this just reframing false positives (that can result in arrest, eight weeks of house arrest, a psychological evaluation and 20 days at an alternative school) as a net benefit. My money is on the latter.

Guaran-fucking-teed the bullied kids are still getting bullied just as bad and the system is still failing those kids while the school can put an outward appearance to the rest of the community that nothing is wrong and everything is perfectly fine inside the walls.

The victims will still be victims, they’ll just be punished by the system even harder for being a victim.

I'm hoping the school installs tiger repellent rocks soon. You know that every school that installed the rocks saw no tiger attacks after the fact?
