HUNT VALLEY, Md. (TND) — A Florida bill would allow video cameras to be installed in classrooms, and would require teachers in those classrooms to wear microphones.

The bill, proposed by a Republican state representative, prohibits use of the videos for teacher evaluations, “or any purpose other than for ensuring the health, safety, and well-being of students in the classroom.” It also bans “regular, continuous, or continual monitoring” of videos.

A number of parents across the country are pushing for video recordings in classrooms, due to concerns about critical race theory and what children are being taught in school, according to the Washington Examiner. Critics of such proposals say teachers should not be subjected to video surveillance, and that it’s an invasion of privacy.
