I. Thesis: Public education until grade 12 is already free; given that a high school education is no longer sufficient for most jobs, it is time to make college education free too.

The camera that is used at Troy, which is made by Massachusetts-based Software Secure, eventually could monitor all of Troy University's distance learners.
