High school administrator and others allegedly spied on students via school-issued laptops

Story here. (Related report here). No, a woman would never do that. Not in a million years. Excerpt:

'The system that Lower Merion school officials used to track lost and stolen laptops wound up secretly capturing thousands of images, including photographs of students in their homes, Web sites they visited, and excerpts of their online chats, says a new motion filed in a suit against the district.

More than once, the motion asserts, the camera on Robbins' school-issued laptop took photos of Robbins as he slept in his bed. Each time, it fired the images off to network servers at the school district.

Back at district offices, the Robbins motion says, employees with access to the images marveled at the tracking software. It was like a window into "a little LMSD soap opera," a staffer is quoted as saying in an e-mail to Carol Cafiero, the administrator running the program.

"I know, I love it," she is quoted as having replied.

Those details, disclosed in the motion filed late Thursday in federal court by Robbins' attorney, offer a wider glimpse into the now-disabled program that spawned Robbins' lawsuit and has shined an international spotlight on the district.'

Undoubtedly many people were involved in this invasion of privacy, and given that so many people working in schools from teachers to administrators and staff are overwhelmingly female, I would not be surprised if those implicated are as well. That society cannot seem to accept that women are as capable of such things as men still confounds me when the evidence is so stark.
