A majority of the Rhode Island school districts with "1-1" programs where each student is issued a laptop have a blanket policy of spying on the students and everything they do on their laptops, during, before and after school hours, on or off school premises, without any evidence (or even suspicion ) of wrongdoing.

The schools analogize this to school locker searches, in which students are denied any Fourth Amendment protections.

I'll just assume it's heading towards this kind of surveillance, where you get the kids to be accustomed to a lifetime of 24/7 observation from a young age;

It's for the children.
