Many parents in the Lower Merion School District where the school spying situation unfolded are opposed to any legal action being taken against the county and some want any investigations into the incidents to be terminated. Why? They all have but one reason. Money. They are saying that any legal action against the school district, even just an investigation, will cause the county to have to spend money to defend itself and therefore result in higher taxes to cover those costs.
"Parents meet to slam Lower Merion spy-cam suit" "Singer and the more than 100 other parents who attended a strategy session last night at Narberth Borough Hall say they want nothing to do with a class-action suit that could end up costing the district millions of dollars in legal fees and court costs." "We're the ones that are going to have to pay the freight at the end of the day," said Michael Boni, a parent who helped organize last night's meeting through the Web site lmsdparents.org. "We are also unhappy that this is a distraction for the students. The fact that it's garnered as much local, regional and national press as it has is nothing that the parents want." "It makes no sense to me. It's like I'm suing myself," said Jamie Singer, whose son and daughter attend the high school." http://tinyurl.com/ybvlv8m Sheeple! Imagine if black folks had adopted such an attitude toward legal actions initiated on their behalf and in their interest to end Jim Crow laws. "Oh, I don't want to fight against these segregation laws here in the county because it'll just cost me more in taxes in the long run, not to mention a few more bumps on my head. Can't we just let it be and learn how to continue to live with it, maybe even come to like it?"
