A Colorado high school has installed cameras in some of its bathrooms, and parents are not at all happy about it, The Greely Tribune is reporting.
Windsor Charter Academy Early College High School installed the cameras in four of its bathrooms – two girls’ bathrooms and two boys’ bathrooms – earlier this year, without telling the parents. The cameras, mounted on the ceiling, face towards the sinks, and the toilets are not in the cameras’ view. What’s more, the toilets in the school’s remodeled bathrooms are more like toilets in European public bathrooms; that is, the doors are floor-ceiling, rather than having gaps and being cut off a few inches from the floor, like most American public bathrooms. This affords the students even more privacy, say school administrators.
Parent Trevor Garrett isn’t buying it. He says that when he learned about the cameras from his eighth-grade daughter, Kaylee, he was shocked.
“I was floored.”
