School Chipped My Son's Shoe**UPDATE** | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 9212254 United States 02/01/2012 10:07 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Two days ago my son came home with a chip attached to his shoe that resembled a small master lock and had a number on it. This is supposedly to monitor his activity for a grant that the school has applied for. Quoting: DoodleBug Problem is he is one out of 60 kids in the district that were hand picked by the the grantor and I was never notified or asked if this was alright! Anyone else had this happen or know exactly what is in this lock looking thing? If I were you I'd be in the Board of Ed's office PRONTO!!!!!! |

Sedi User ID: 1552632 United States 02/01/2012 10:17 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Something like this? [link to georgeorwellnovels.com] Two school districts in Texas have started tracking students with photo ID badges that contain radio-frequency identification (RFID) chips. The system depends on chip readers placed around campuses and on school buses. School administrators say that the tracking system has resulted in increased attendance and could help find students in the event of a fire. |

I'm not going to get onto what but let's just say most of us are not going to make it. I have long suspected there would be a lottery. The underground bunkers that have been built are designed to hold several hundred thousand people. They need a gene pool to make sure we can go on and have enough genetic material to do so. Is your child above average? Does he have a unique blood type? |

Get rid of the shoes, or get that lock off immediately and go down to the school and the Education Board and raise high holy hell. I would then move my kid out of the school if possible. This is outrageous. They are using your kid as part of their science experiment to determine both how much they can track us and how much we will tolerate. It gets the kids used to the idea of a police state. We are free Americans with a Constitutional presumption of innocence, and a fundamental right of privacy. The government belongs to US and is OUR SERVANT, not the other way around. You MUST fight this if for no other reason than to teach your son and his friends that they are NOT slaves to a system that degrades them and treats them, literally, like cattle. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 659699 First go buy him a new pair of shoes. Don't let your son become a guinea pig and have his and your family's privacy rights taken. Then, give those old shoes with the chip, to some homeless people that can use them, that'll teach em LOL I love physics.
