Brushing aside privacy concerns by parents and civil rights activists, a Texas school district has gone live with a controversial program requiring all students to wear a locator radio chip that will enable officials to track their every move or face expulsion.
At the beginning of the school year students at John Jay High School and Anson Jones Middle School within the Northside Independent School District were told their old student ID badges were no longer valid. During registration they were required to obtain new badges containing a radio frequency identification tracker chip.

The *free love*, the Earth Mother worship, the *no rules* anarchy, “sex, drugs and rock’n’roll, were all just the promotion, designed to recruit.
It was all fun for ten years or so and then, as they entered the real world and claimed their places in the elite hierarchies, they sprung the trap, keeping the masses with their STDs, their infanticide, their prison records,their lowered prospects and their damaged minds and bodies outside the pale of power.
At election time, they invoke those fun times, whip up enthusiasm, soothe with invocations of security, promise more free, low-quality everything and continue on secure in their own myth.
In other words, the entire hippie schtick was just a pose that garnered a new generation of elites a controllable mass of slaves.
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
“There is, I believe, a clause in obomacare that states that patients will be micro-chipped for multiple reasons...can’t remember them exactly.”
The only way they will ever introduce a chip into my person, is if it’s attached to a bullet.
My God, in past years were these topics raised in the town square, the person making such utterances would have found it difficult to make it back to their home un-bloodied or worse.
“Clone the founders, teach them modern urban warfare. Problem solved.”
You could clone the men, however you could not recreate their education and experience under the king, so the clones would be bastardized beyond all recognition. Then we would have a new problem, not a solved problem.
I don’t know about that. When they first put magnetic strips in driver’s licenses, I heard that putting the license near a magnet would would make them where they could not be read. I took mine out and for a whole weekend placed a very strong magnet on top of them. It did not work. The best thing to do is resist.
Hey, when we were homeschooling we made our kids wear RFIDs.
You never knew where they were going to sneak off to. ;o)
Take a shower and a bath with it....
Use the 2010 Robbins v. Lower Merion School District as part of your suit's justification. This is a total invasion of privacy of the students and needs to be squelched HARD. If the administration persecutes the students and the school board refuses to acknowledge the parents, then it's time to do some serious house cleaning by getting rid of these rats. The administrators responsible need to be fired and school board members who are too arrogant to listen to the parents’ concerns should be thrown out.
“What is with hippies growing up to be fascists,...”
You might want to read Jonah Goldberg’s book ‘Liberal Fascism’, it is a real eye-opener.
Also search for “FBI informant Larry Grathwohl” to read about the Weather Underground plans to “eliminate 25 million people” in reeducation centers.
Liberalism poisons the soul.
“100 students go to local animal shelter, place ID cards on pets’ collars and then let them all out of their cages.”
etc.
Some clever students get together and offer a “service” For a fee, leave us your badge, and we’ll carry it with us. Members of the group swap badges once in a while to mix up the movements. Heck, if they’re real geeks and the number is high enough, they can work out a program to get the badges in the right classrooms.
THAT would be a great enterprise...
TX has more nanny staters than you would believe. They are especially visible in the Austin area, but we've been invaded over the past few decades. After all, this is where the jobs are, so they bring their yankee notions along, and don't realize that it is their own fault their previous state was a jobless hell hole.
It makes complete sense, once you realize that the only thing those kids represent to the school is a pile of money. If they aren't there when state attendence is taken, the state doesn't pay the school for them. Ca$h is allowcated based on daily attendence figures. To a school official this is serious business. They don't notice (or don't care) if Johnny can't read, but when Johnny impacts their gravy train, watch out!
It takes a VERY strong magnet. STand near an MRI machine in a hospital when it is running and you will wipe your credit cards.

Most important, a person without the card is denied entry.
True, so far as it goes...
Quoting the article: "During registration they were required to obtain new badges containing a radio frequency identification tracker chip."
If I'm reading this correctly, identification could be accomplished with a RFID chip programed with a student's number. However when you include a "tracker" function an ID chip will only tell you if student "A" is either in the building or not. Since the school has a monetary interest in eliminating truancy I would assume the new card includes GPS functionality to facilitate a roundup of stray students. They have bumped up quite a bit from a simple short range ID chip used to log in/out. That could easily become a major assault on an individual's right to privacy.
It doesn't take a lot of imagination to conjure up a nasty scenario wherein a pedophile hacks into the school network and uses the GPS data to select and track victims for instance.
If I'm wrong about the GPS and the only desire is to track students within the building it would be necessary to put RFID scanners on every door and window in the building and track each student as he/she entered and proceeded from hall to room and back to hall. The next question is what do you do if someone does not come back from lunch? Suppose someone log in through the front door, wraps his card in foil and then leaves through a side door. The fire code will never allow you to have locked exit doors or turnstiles so there is nothing to prevent a student leaving without using his/her card! Tons of money expended on a system that doesn't do much to solve the stated problem.

PS Hint: If you want to get back in w/o using your card, an 1/8" allen wrench is all you need to disable a crash bar door lock on your way out.
Government schools shouldn’t be allowed anywhere. By what right do these government idiots tell us what to do , tell our kids they have to attend a government school for 12 years (where they can’t even teach them basic geography in 12 years), or they will imprison the parents? It boggles my mind that people tolerate government schools in the first place. Do they not realize that government is evil, that it should be limited , and is terribly inefficient, corrupt? wtf?
Obamacare is government limiting our freedom of choice and is socialism taking over our healthcare..
Government is too big already, this expansion of government , this takeover of healthcare is tyranny.
Government is the problem and it has grown at all levels every single year, every month for the last 100 years.
They are tracking our kids in schools with smart IDs, Moochel is telling kids what they can eat, Bloomberg banned big sodas in New York, Obama took over our healthcare, They banned 100 watt light-bulbs , they tell us that we have to discriminate to hire people (affirmative action), soon cars will have to be 27 mpg , etc. This crap has to stop.
I started to write a first draft on how to finally limit government for the first time ever. something has to be done as the problem is government. It’s in personal page here.

Bring ‘em on. I’m not a big fan of either.
I would rejoice to be given that second choice. Hated every moment of school from 6th grade on (until college).
