"“I think [Churchill] could have found a better way to raise awareness. Creating chaos in schools is not how you create lasting changes in policy,” said Marshman, adding that she’d like to see Churchill charged for trespassing and filming minors without parental consent."
Funny thing is, creating chaos has historically been the ONLY way policy is changed in the US.
I don't agree with her behavior. It was attention seeking, grandiose, narcissistic and obnoxious. But the bottom line is, she's RIGHT. She should not have been able to gain entry to any of those schools. And she would have been stopped at the beginning with the most absolute basic of security measures. Having her charged is trying to save face.

I wonder what the penalty is for "filming minors without parental consent"? I'll bet it's massive. Or made up, either one.
I agree with you, it's them trying to save face. It's not an easy task to secure a large building, and maybe it's not worth it to do it the right way. But let's not make some grand gestures and say "mission accomplished." Do or do not, there is no try.

The latter. It is not illegal to records or photography minors, in of itself, in the USA.

In PUBLIC. The town or school may not have the same policy while on school property.

Still not illegal. They can forbid recording or photography but at best they can charge you with trespassing if you refuse to follow their rules to be on site. The actual recording and photography of minors in places where there is no expectation of privacy is not illegal and they can not do anything to make you destroy or delete your footage or photos.

If the school tried to contact me about the violation of someone filming minors, you better believe I’d be more concerned about how they got in the school
