Where is this going now!
Today we were going to take pictures of our grandchild at a school award
program , and we were informed that some new rules are in effect and NO pictures could be taken at any school functions anymore, unless we had permission from all the other parents. Some pictures was going to be taken in his classroom, but not now. It looks like Homeland security has taken things way too far as all the so called rule makers are going crazy. It seems like stupid ideas gets out of hand and snowballs. Lets see, if you take a picture of a scenic Downtown area, you are questioned as if you were a terrorist, if you take any pictures around or inside a school, your a pervert. If this keeps going someday you will need papers to walk down the street, Freedom gone. People go crazy on rumors, and they go overboard on them. Cell Phones will cause a GAS Station to blow up, Black mold is going to kill you, Lead paint inside of some 50 plus year old houses is going to kill you. Asbestos in 40 plus old Schools is going to kill all the kids. All a bunch of Bull ****. |

I don't know a lot about mold, but it doesn't sound ideal. Lead paint is very dangerous and COULD certainly harm, if not kill, you. There is no question that asbestos can cause serious lung problems. No bull ****. Research your facts before moaning. Fi. |

Maybe there is something to this...
I live in the UK, a guest American here, you might say. In the musical recitals here, it is custom to NOT make videotapes or use still cameras during the performances. If you want a tape, you hope the teacher is going to make one by having someone come in, and you can buy a copy. Reason - because they have over the years found it (all the cameras) distracting to the people watching the performance, maybe to the performers, too.

If this keeps going someday you will need papers to walk down the street, Freedom gone. I can understand all of that. There are a great many pervs about. Your nuts and must be one. If that was the case the pictures could be taken outside of the school anywhere else. Even down the block.What about football games, socrer games. People go crazy on rumors, and they go overboard on them. Cell Phones will cause a GAS Station to blow up, Black mold is going to kill you, Lead paint inside of some 50 plus year old houses is going to kill you. Asbestos in 40 plus old Schools is going to kill all the kids. All a bunch of Bull ****. Your phone COULD ignite the fumes at the petrol station, no doubt on that one. You are nuts again , you must be one of the rumor creaters also. It has been shown that Police cars, Fire trucks, any Public service vecicale, CBers or Hams using over 100 watts on any band has never caused a gas fire. Thats over 300 times stronger than any cell phone. Just another myth. I don't know a lot about mold, but it doesn't sound ideal. Its all around you. Go live in a plastic bubble. Lead paint is very dangerous and COULD certainly harm, if not kill, you. I do not drink paint it has never been shown that even touching it has never caused any illness, just created for Lawyers to make money. I have worked with LEAD for thirty years touching it everyday NO PROBLEMS.. There is no question that asbestos can cause serious lung problems. So does cigarrets and other causes. It has been showh that the money spent on removing the asbestos from buildings has caused a even bigger problem. It should have been just left alone. It was sealed up and was not going anywhere. So do your own research, dont just listen, and beleave everything on TV. Simple people do. People like you keep this kind of crap going on with their heads in the sand. I bet you also only Eat in restruants that have a no smoking area. No bull ****. Research your facts before moaning. Fi. I knew that there would be some dumb ass come back with the same dumb Ideas. |

Today we were going to take pictures of our grandchild at a school
award program , and we were informed that some new rules are in effect and NO pictures could be taken at any school functions anymore, unless we had permission from all the other parents. It is a growing trend, and it is grows from two prime concerns: * Some children have had legal or custodial parents/guardians specify that all images and data be restricted from public access--all parents (in the U.S. to start) have this option, and they specify their prefences on a data-release waiver form--the most pertinent rationale being that some children are being sheltered from non-custodial parents who might learn where to find them; although this is an extceedingly spurious possibility, parents have the right to demand that their children be protected from this very rare possibility; * Some cultures and/or religions do not condone the appearance of their children (or adults, for that matter) in any kind of celebratory or performance-related way. There are other concerns about school district liability in the case of images that become public without parental authorization (and other fine-points of liability concern that may be an over-reaction), but the whole matter is such a sticky wicket (and school districts are so eager to avoid any lawsuits or other legal ramifications) that it is simpler, simply, to forbid it. |
