Slashdot's code has a feature to prevent people from inserting obscenely long character strings into comments. This prevents people from making the rendered page any wider than the default resolution on your monitor. It automagically inserts a space after some amount of continuous non-space characters.
The US does not mandate that children go to school until the age of 18. State laws govern that and it varies from state to state. In MS, the law says that you can drop out of school when you're 16.
Being an alumnus of Biloxi High and a relative of an administrator in the district, I've known about these cameras. I'm more shocked that they took the time to retro-fit these cameras into the older schools. They've just built a new high school, which would be easily accomodating to the inclusion of cameras in the classrooms. But the elementary and middle schools are a different matter.
The current middle school is the old high school, which was originally built in the late 60's. We had trouble running 10Base2 through that school, much less CAT5. When I graduated in 1998, there were 2 classroms with about 40 computers total. The building's old and it was a bitch to help network.
The elementary schools are even worse. They have managed to build one new one north of the bay, but all the schools on the peninsula are at least 40 years old. They're not made for networking, they're made to withstand hurricanes. The elementary school I attended survived Camille but it can't be easily modified to support an infrastructure for today's technologies.
Okay, now to get back on topics. This is not a move to monitor juvenile citizens due to the simple fact that there is little government involvement in the day to day operations of the school district in Biloxi. The only federal worries are test scores (for accreditation) and court orders (forced segregation in the 1960's.)

Don't forget that there are some who think that Microsoft is really just fucking them in the ass without the decency of a reach-around.

As with most features, it's there for a reason. This one just happens to be based on page-widening trolls.

Excellent! I knew contracting a tapeworm would pay off some day.
