KRON, Ohio -- Students in Akron will be fingerprinted beginning this fall to identify them in school lunch lines. The technology, instituted for security reasons and for bookkeeping purposes, is being used in Ohio's Garfield Heights district and in a sprinkling of colleges, universities, and businesses across the country.

I vouch for fingerprinting at Fort Hamilton High School in Brooklyn, as many of its graduates will become future suicide bombers anyway.

I'm sure that they would find that fingerprinting violates some part of the Koran.

the ACLU, which is concerned the scans will be used to track students' eating habits. This is NOT what the ACLU is worried about. They're worried the police will get the prints and be able to connect some hoodlum crime to the students.
Those opposed to the system will have the option of having their children use an identification card.
At least they have an option.

And, when the first booger picker puts his finger into the machine, each subsequent student will then get his cold or virus or bacterial infection, etc. Gotta love the concern for the health of th students.

Gotta start indoctrinating them early to the concept of a complete totalitarian state. This is what the government schools are there for, and they're doing a fantastic job at it. Fingerprints to get services, no expectation of privacy in lockers and desks, even seeing a gun is cause to call police and bring about a lockdown, drug sniffing dogs coming through periodicaly ... this is the 'rat vision of America, and if us older folks object, they will simply rear a majority of kids who don't. And these kids will vote.
