Feds won't charge school in laptop spying case

After the Lower Merion School District near Philadelphia was caught using cameras on school-issued laptops to illegally spy on students in their own bedrooms, you'd think stiff prison terms would be in the cards for school officials.

But who would we be kidding? Schools are never held accountable for anything, no matter how much proof of their wrongdoing looms in plain sight.

Now the FBI and federal prosecutors are refusing to file charges against the weirdoes who run the school district. They say there's not enough evidence that they had any criminal intent.

So we're supposed to believe that the school spied on teenagers in their bedrooms because they thought it was legal?

I think some firings of some federal prosecutors might be in order.
