Republicans propose mass student surveillance plan to prevent shootings

A new Senate bill would give a federally mandated boost to America's growing school surveillance industry

Senate Republicans have a new plan for preventing mass shootings: require public schools to use surveillance technology to monitor students' online behavior for signs of violence or self-harm.

A new Republican bill that claims "to help prevent mass shootings" includes no new gun control measures. Instead, Republican lawmakers are supporting a huge, federally mandated boost to America's growing school surveillance industry.
