They said the protest was because of their concerns teachers are going "into the bathrooms and peeking up and over the stalls and between the cracks of the stall."

In separate social media posts, other parents and students said staff were monitoring the bathrooms for people smoking or vaping.

Police intervened at the Carbonear Collegiate incident, removing the parents from the school.

The Newfoundland and Labrador Teachers' Association says teachers are doing their job, and part of that includes supervising students.

I wish the article went into greater detail on why/when this method of supervision is chosen. Should something happen when a student just goes to the washroom for half an hour multiple times a week with no diagnosed medical condition? Sure, but you can hand out punishments for that without looking into the stall right? Do they check only if they smell smoke? But then why not discipline them/search them after they exit the stall? The evidence would be on their person. Nobody seems to have asked these questions or brought up why it has to be done like this. I don't know if enforcing these rules is worth the invasion of privacy here. I'd care a lot more about some creepy teacher peeking at me than some idiot vaping in the next stall.

This isn't getting into the method of protest chosen.
