Anti-tax crusader Grover Norquist wants a camera in every classroom in America, an idea that may raise an eyebrow at first but one that also might be a good point.
I think that it makes sense to put a television camera in the back of every state college and university course, said Norquist, founder and president of Americans For Tax Reform, in an interview with the conservative student website Campus Reform.

Not to mention, that is a great use of funds Instead of funding higher education so more people could afford to send their kids to college, let's use that money to install cameras and monitoring systems in all of the classrooms of all the colleges and even public schools.
When can that disgusting man disappear and go the way of irrelevance like Sarah Palin.
