Didn’t a school district in California try this and the parents said no thanks? I hope they do the same thing here also, where do schools come off thinking they have the right to tag someone else’s kids?

Because we let them get away with so much already. They think we will roll over for anything now. They think parents are a bunch of pushovers and lazy - and a lot of them are. Therein is the problem. People talk a lot today, but in reality don't want to be bothered too much to actually do something about the stuff they disagree with.

I took my girls out of public school for a time and made my private stand. They went to private Christian school for about 2 years and then back to public for the last two years of HS. My problem was with the school system in Maine. They finished their education in Florida where I didn't find anything to get ticked off about in that 2 years.

Yes - that school district wanted to introduce RFID chips into school ID cards. A reader can be purchased, by anyone, for around a hundred dollars..... and can be used near the sidewalk as the kids walk by - and Bingo! - there is the name and address of the kid on the reader.

CA passed a statewide moratorium. I forget when it expires.

But while fighting about this, it came out that one of the big medical insurance companies had spent a quarter of a million dollars on chips for its patients...... and it will one day want to use them.
