A California middle school teacher who admitted she “totally stalked” her students online to recruit members for her LGBTQ+ club has said her comments should not have been taken as seriously as they were, and she did not set out to intentionally surveil the students. At a California Teachers Association conference last month, middle school teachers Lori Caldeira and Kelly Baraki led a workshop addressing the challenges of running LGBTQ+ clubs in communities with conservative parents. Caldeira and Baraki said they frequently struggle with declining membership within their Buena Vista Middle School LGBTQ+ club “You Be You,” and have turned to creative recruitment tactics to boost their numbers, including tracking what their students are doing online. She added that she and Baraki did not set out to intentionally surveil students and were only using approved GoGuardian tracking software, which saw widespread adoption by schools during the shift to remote learning. The software allows teachers to view their students’ screens while class is in session to keep them safer online, according to GoGuardian’s website.
