Mike & Ikes

This story about the Philadelphia area school district that issued laptop computers to students and then used them to take webcam photos of the kids in their homes [yes, you read that right] is outrageous enough, but it's the way the story came to light that reveals just how shockingly dumb the school administrators are...
The suit alleges that in November, the Harriton assistant principal confronted sophomore Blake Robbins with a photo of what school officials saw as the boy's "improper activity" - taken by the webcam of his school-issued laptop in his home.

Robbins told TV crews outside his home yesterday that a school laptop's webcam had photographed him eating Mike & Ike candy in his home, but that school officials thought it showed him using drugs.
Grown-ups are so totally stupid.
