Anonymous Coward User ID: 9933731 United States 02/01/2012 05:14 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | there is a sickness in the native American community where they will hastily accept any and all handouts by the US government. They think that it's all good "restitution" but it's almost always a token to novate the old treaty and further erode the rights of the natives. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 9501127 Most reservations are run like rural Mexican provinces with rampant neoptism and shocking abuse of power by the ones who are smart enough to work the system. Everybody else gets screwed. I know a former Nation governor and his family very very well and this is not an isolated phenomenon. If I were OP I would look into the details of this "grant" which is more likely a "deal" where the natives get shafted again. Good info here. Everybody who hasn't heard of them yet needs to visit CERA. There have been dirty deals done behind closed doors between Congress-critters and Tribal Council-critters for a very long time: [link to www.citizensalliance.org] |

thinkingoutsidetherhombus User ID: 2938296 United States 02/01/2012 05:22 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm confused. The lock thingy is permanently stuck to his shoe, right? My kids have at least a couple pairs of shoes each plus their snow boots. Are the chosen kids expected to wear the same pair every day? What about when they outgrow the shoes? Do they get a new lock every time their feet grow? I'm not trying to imply you're lying, I just don't understand how something like this would work... I don't know where you get your delusions, laser brain. |

Gun control is like trying to reduce drunk driving by making it tougher for sober people to own cars. I'd like to go quietly in my sleep, like grandpa did. Not screaming in terror like the people in the back seat of the car he was driving. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 8786935 United States 02/01/2012 05:28 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | i tried to resist posting, but couldnt... how about just calling the school and asking (calmly, politely, non confrontationally) what the object in question is, does, and why they strapped it to your offspring? then, maybe examine the booger for an id tag (which it will have) and do a web search for it, using the manufacturer, and model number... once you actually know what it is and does, then decide on a course of action... sounds like a pedometer or tachimeter, as fastening it to a shoe sets it up for a fairly harsh environment, and hardly insures it being brought to school daily (as opposed to say hooking it to his bookbag, which would be a fairly constant companion)... "check it out before you freak out" is usually a sensible policy Quoting: ambiguity unlimited No it is not a sensible policy with out her consent. That is bullshit to assume that it is ok for them to do this in this case. What will be next that the Gov decides to track. Get real, this is intrusion. |

Dease User ID: 1505901 United States 02/01/2012 05:35 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | If that were my daughter I would pull her out of that school in a heartbeat. That is illegal. It is an invasion of privacy. Plus, they can't do anything without your consent. Even if they'd asked you, I'm sure you would have said no as any parent would. It is just another way for the govt. to spy and take control. You made a good point about getting information first. That way, when they lie to you about how it's harmless you can quote back the facts to them and prove you know what it really is. I would print out anything I could find and bring the papers wtih me if I were you. Last Edited by Dease on 02/01/2012 05:35 PM "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you." - Matthew 22: 37-39 "What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?" - Galatians 5: 22-23 |

withoutatrace User ID: 1476762 United States 02/01/2012 06:02 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This link talks about RFID tags being put on people and their shoes to track them for races and such. They even talk about there being tracking mats that monitor when the trackers pass over them. I would guess this could keep track of when children arrive and exit the school building. The video also says there are many types of transponders and they're as low as $.50 each, but well under $1.00. In my opinion, this can lead to some scary shit. [link to www.rftiming.net] |
