Prince George County Schools wants to make it so... who knows, some public school kid, sometime, somewhere, might actually produce something worthwhile, even profitable, at which point the school wants it. It is possible somebody in a government school might produce something.
“Works created by employees and/or students specifically for use by the Prince George’s County Public Schools or a specific school or department within PGCPS, are properties of the Board of Education even if created on the employee’s or student’s time and with the use of their materials,” the policy reads. “Further, works created during school/work hours, with the use of school system materials, and within the scope of an employee’s position or student’s classroom work assignment(s) are the properties of the Board of Education.”
What happened to grateful students making donations?
The measure has some worried that by the system claiming ownership to the work of others, creativity could be stifled and there would be little incentive to come up with innovative ways to educate students. Some have questioned the legality of the proposal as it relates to students.
Once we have the idea of intellectual property rights, and the supremacy of the state, ther eis no logical limit to state power. It is all ours.
