1NC — Topicality “Surveillance” [THE FIRST/NEXT OFF-CASE POSITION IS TOPICALITY “SURVEILLANCE”]
A. Interpretation — “Surveillance” is watching related to crime.
Cambridge 15 – Cambridge Advanced Learners Dictionary & Thesaurus, “surveillance”, http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/british/surveillance
surveillance
noun [U] UK /səˈveɪ.ləns/ US /sɚ-/
› the careful watching of a person or place, especially by the police or army, because of a crime that has happened or is expected:
The police have kept the nightclub under surveillance because of suspected illegal drug activity.
More banks are now installing surveillance cameras.
B. Common Core isn’t surveillance — it’s not related to monitoring for a crime.
They’ll read contextual evidence, but Aff evidence is media echo chamber fearmongering. Prefer our topicality evidence which comes from primary sources on the law itself.
Seay 14 — Bob Seay, Editor in Chief of NewsPrism.com, former teacher, 2014 (“Common Core and Media Spin,” Huffington Post Education, August 18th, Available Online at http://www.huffingtonpost.com/bob-seay/common-core-and-media-spi_b_5684964.html, Accessed 06-30-2015)
Legitimate questions are buried beneath the noise
There are legitimate reasons to oppose Common Core, America's latest effort at education reform. You might be concerned that the standards leave no room for student exploration and creativity. You could follow the money and question the substantial profits promised to the publishers of Common Core resources. You may feel that Common Core intentionally sets schools up to fail, leading to a privatized, for-profit educational system and the end of public schools. These are valid concerns that deserve serious public debate.
But those are not the conversations we are having. Instead, frightened parents are asking whether tests will use posture sensing chairs, eye scans, and other spyware technology to measure a student's emotional response to questions. Parents have been told that Common Core is a massive surveillance program designed to collect and sell personal information about students. Parents have read false reports about schools teaching third graders about sexual self-gratification.
Pretty scary stuff.
Fortunately, none of it is true.
Pro Tip: When researching a topic, read the original sources before accepting the word of potentially biased news reports, commentaries, and guest speakers.
Actual facts about Common Core are available on the Common Core website. Information about how Common Core is being implemented may be found on the Department of Education websites of the 43 states that have adopted it. Those who oppose Common Core rarely include links to these rather obvious primary sources which could be used to support or refute their arguments. Instead, they link to websites that support their point of view, creating a kind of self-affirming loop of misinformation. Never doubt the power of the media echo chamber.
C. Vote Negative
1. Limits — only limiting to crime based cases provides ANY limit on this topic. It allows core affs like NSA, DEA and FBI surveillance, while limiting out scores of cases like FDA, Department of Agriculture and the Arctic Research Commission. Treated loosely, EVERY federal agency has dozens of so-called “surveillance” operations.
2. Ground — limiting to crime affs gives the neg core ground like the Terrorism, War on Drugs and Crime disadvantages. If the aff can defend any reduction in any federal monitoring, there’s no stable negative ground.

2NC/1NR — Violation Common Core doesn’t involve surveillance — data is not personal and not identifiable.
Seay 14 — Bob Seay, Editor in Chief of NewsPrism.com, former teacher, 2014 (“Common Core and Media Spin,” Huffington Post Education, August 18th, Available Online at http://www.huffingtonpost.com/bob-seay/common-core-and-media-spi_b_5684964.html, Accessed 06-30-2015)
What about spying and personal information?
Parents are understandably worried about keeping their children's personal information private. There are laws that prevent the federal government from collecting personally identifiable information about students, including Social Security numbers and other identifiers. These laws existed before Common Core and have not been changed. Allegations that Common Core is being used for data mining are not correct.
It is true that schools use tests to collect information about students. This data is used to address gaps in student achievement and for other education purposes. For example, information about race and gender of students helps to ensure that all students are learning. If a specific group of students demonstrates consistent problems with a certain part of a test, then schools and policy makers need to know that so they can address the problem.
Common Core testing is not designed to collect biometric data, including any data that might be collected from cameras, chairs, computer equipment, or other devices. That particular red herring apparently originated when The Blaze reported on a draft version of a report on developing "grit, tenacity, and perseverance" in students. Given the financial realities of public education, schools are struggling to purchase enough computers for students to take take the required tests within the allotted time. Setting aside the obvious legal and ethical concerns about privacy, the use of any such advanced surveillance would simply be financially impossible. Many teachers don't even have whiteboards in their classrooms. As one teacher said, "We're not all that technologically advanced. I am still using a soft rock (chalk) to scrape out marks on a harder rock (the slate chalkboard)."
2NC/1NR — Limits There are so many federal agencies that the government can’t even count them — each has monitoring responsibilities.
Peterson 13 — Josh Peterson, Daily Caller Staff Writer, 2013 ("The government has no idea how many agencies it has," Daily Caller, May 3rd, Available Online at http://dailycaller.com/2013/05/03/the-government-has-no-idea-how-many-agencies-it-has/, Accessed 7-6-2015)
The U.S. government does not know how many agencies and programs it is asking taxpayers to fund, The Daily Caller has learned.
Even though the editors of Wikipedia have been able to assemble a list of federal agencies, no complete official government list of federal agencies and programs currently exists.
The Government Performance and Results Modernization Act of 2010 (GPRAMA) — which became law on January 4, 2011 — established required quarterly performance assessments of government programs.
That bill also mandated that the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) create a website that would publish quarterly performance reports by the heads of each agency.
Currently that website — Performance.gov, which was launched in 2011 — contains only a partial list of government programs, and important agencies such as the FCC aren’t on the list.
OMB is an office within the executive that is responsible for budget development and agency oversight. A spokesperson for the OMB did not respond to The Daily Caller’s request for comment.
A spokesperson for the Congressional Budget Office also confirmed to The Daily Caller that the CBO did not have a list of agencies and programs, and instead referred The Daily Caller to the Government Accountability Office (GAO).
A GAO spokesman, in turn, referred The Daily Caller to OMB, stating that no list of programs has existed in the past because of the lack of a consensus within the federal government about what constitutes a program.
“OMB has not released the list of federal programs but has an effort underway to develop a count,” said another GAO official.
The CBO is a non-partisan legislative branch agency responsible for providing the “budget committees and Congress with objective, impartial information about budgetary and economic issues.”
Wikipedia lists HUNDREDS of US agencies. We submit this absurdly long list into the record.
