    Probably a charter school, or worse, a private school.

    Was disappointed, was hoping this would be about secret cameras in the Blazer dancers dressing room.

    A private school is worse than a charter school?

    What is wrong with this country!?! I hope the principle gets fired. Our own government wiretaps us but when a special-ed kids does it to prove they are getting bullied it becomes a crime.

    While I don't agree with the way the school handled it, it was the police that brought the charges.

    That is a sad situation, but it seems to be a clear legal case. Maybe this can draw attention to the law and it gets overturned.

    It sounds like the Principal demanded this of the reluctant policeman.

    The principal should be disciplined for not dealing with the bullies (and the teacher that let it happen), imo.

    Wish I had that power over a reluctant policeman . . . but I always seem to be the one getting handcuffed.

    Ridiculous from start to finish. The principal is probably afraid of the crap he/she would get caught doing so wanted charges to discourage others. The officer is an asshole too. This country is so fucked up.

    It's an interesting topic: Is one allowed to break the law for what they consider legit purposes?

    Recording laws vary from state to state, but Pennsylvania is one of just 12 states that require the consent of all parties involved. In the remaining states, consent is not mandatory as long as the person recording is present during the conversation

    Hmm. Another incident blaming the victim. Apathy at its finest.

    Apparently bullied students will need to take matters into their own hands. School anarchy!

    Some do. Then the media tries to tie them to Sarah Palin and the Tea Party, when it's their own schools that are failing them.

    When these bullied kids get to the point of desperation, they come to school with a gun instead of a recorder. Sure as hell wouldn't want to head things off before they escalate to the point to shooting.

    This is exactly right! We may all disagree on gun rights/restrictions. But I think we can all agree these problems should be addressed before they escalate! The school has a clear responsibility to help this student.

    So let me get this straight

    A principal gets fired for making her students, in the United States, speak English.

    And a child gets punished for getting proof punk ass bullies were tormenting him.

    This Country is certainly not on a very good path, IMO

    No one dares criticize the legal system without the police tapping your phone, etc. Politicians can't because many pressure groups exist on the side of meanness and cruelty, but none on the side of love. Certainly none on the side of the 1/5 of all American adult men who are felons.
