Vegas school parents irate over Sister Wives camera invasion
          

TLC's Sister Wives and all 16 children of the Brown family

A group of concerned elementary school parents wants what happens in Vegas to stay in Vegas and they’re making noise over TLC’s polygamy themed reality show Sister Wives invading their Valentine’s Day dance.

The production crew with Sister Wives came to Sheila Tarr Elementary school to film the Brown family during the scheduled school function. Parents were notified that this would be happening days before the event occurred and many were not happy about it. In response the school and the crew made concessions by agreeing not to discuss the location of the school and to blur out faces of any of the children not associated with the show.

Regardless of the agreement, some of the parents were still angered by the taping, considering it an invasion of privacy. A representative with the Clark County School District stated:

“The district heard the concerns of the parents involved and considered them when developing the compromise. In the past few months, we’ve had the Ellen show, ABC News, Oxygen Network, and countless local broadcasts filmed at our schools. TLC and the Brown family deserved the same.”

Man, I guess if you’re a child actor and want to get noticed get yourself enrolled in a Clark County school. No one ever came to my school to film jack, but I digress…

What do you think about the parent’s complaints? Would you be upset if a show was taping at the elementary school your child attends and do you believe the school district did enough?

      How silly…I’m sure it has more to do with the fact that they are filming Sister Wives and less to do with anything else…

      I mean is it me or is everyone offended by EVERYTHING now a days?

      I agree with Erica. And also tlc also gave the event $500.00 to help them. And the entire school was well aware of that. And tell me… By showing kids faces, how is that an invasion of privacy? Some people just aren’t happy unless they are complaining about something. It’s sad when parents act like the kids. Aren’t we suppose to be getting along? And acting our age? I can’t get over this…since when is it where you go to school is considered privacy? It’s not you are acting like your kids are famous and need to be sheltered from the public eye! When in fact that’s the complete opposite!! I love the browns, and I CAN’T WAIT for them to come back on tv!! I wish these parents would stop embarrassing their kids and let them do what kids do!! ALL kids want to be on TV at one point or the other.

      Erica, so true. Getting to the point a person stepping out of their house will end up offending someone. EEEEEK.

      As a vegas local, I am super proud of clark county’s response.

      If they had the Ellen show, Oxygen and ABC news at the school without throwing a fit, then it sounds like they have some sort of prejudice with the Browns….not so much the network being there. How sad and ridiculous that parents would act like this! It’s only teaching children that they shouldn’t respect those who are different from them. The Brown’s are good people, and while I could never live that life myself, I still love their show and respect them as humans.

      Also, they did plenty to respect the other children’s privacy by not disclosing the location of the school and by blocking out the faces.

      Starcasm-you just revealed the name of the school. You should really edit that out.

      I work at an elementary school and in my opinion, reality show television cameras do not belong there. First, it’s a distraction to the learning environment. Second and lastly, it puts the students’ safety at risk. How many creeps do you think will call this school asking for the Browns now that they have this information through the media?

        It was a dance not during the school day!
