Texas Students Will Be Tracked Via Microchips In IDs
Northside Independent School District plans to track students next year on two of its campuses using technology implanted in their student identification cards in a trial that could eventually include all 112 of its schools and all of its nearly 100,000 students.

District officials said the Radio Frequency Identification System (RFID) tags would improve safety by allowing them to locate students — and count them more accurately at the beginning of the school day to help offset cuts in state funding, which is partly based on attendance.

Northside, the largest school district in Bexar County, plans to modify the ID cards next year for all students attending John Jay High School, Anson Jones Middle School and all special education students who ride district buses. That will add up to about 6,290 students.

Where are their parents? I would be outraged. There is no way I would allow anyone, let alone government, to RFID my child.

Here is an article from a couple of years ago regarding use of a microchip tracking program in preschool centers.


snip-

The American Civil Liberties Union is questioning Contra Costa officials over their implementation of a microchip tracking program in their preschool centers.

Nicole Ozer, the ACLU's technology and civil liberties director, told California Watch that she asked the county to provide more information about their program. She was especially interested in the technical specfications of the microchips and how the program came into being.

Ozer, who works out of the organization's San Francisco office, was heavily involved in advocating for the California law against forced microchip implantation, and she successfully challenged Brittan Elementary School's microchip identification program in 2005. As she wrote in a blog post last week:

While school officials and parents may have been sold on these tags as a “cost-saving measure,” we are concerned that the real price of insecure RFID technology is the privacy and safety of small children. RFID has been billed as a “proven technology,” but what’s actually been proven time and again [PDF] since the ACLU first looked at this issue in 2005 is just how insecure RFID chips can be …

All joking aside, this is just not good enough. It has to be stopped. Period. This is social conditioning. The chips are insecure and carry a lot of information about our children. This isn't something we should be joking about. It's very real and very dangerous for our youngsters.

Re: Texas Students Will Be Tracked Via Microchips In IDs
Check this out- Straight from AT&T's website-


RFID Tags Help Schools Keep Tabs

One day soon, Homeroom Teachers in your local middle and high schools may stop scanning rows of desks and making each student yell out “Here!” during a morning roll call.

Instead, small cards, or tags, carried by each student will transmit a unique serial number via radio signal to an electronic reader near the school door. Students won’t have to stop, swipe their cards, press their fingers against a pad or interrupt their chatter with friends as they pile into school. The reader will instantly relay the signals from their tags to a school computer network that marks them as present.

Some schools are already experimenting with RFID. enterprise
charter School in Buffalo, N.Y. began using it three years ago to take daily attendance of its 600 students. Schools in Texas
and california have tried the technology, and a large school in Florida is considering it.

From 2002-


Worried UK parents are asking to have tracking microchips implanted into their children following the murders of two 10-year-old girls, a cybernetics expert says.

Scientist Kevin Warwick from Reading University, west of London, says parents can keep track of their children with a tiny microchip implant in the arm or stomach.

Such a chip could prevent an abduction from becoming a murder, he says.

"A number of families have contacted me after the murders of Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman with the possibility of using an implant for their own daughter," Warwick told Reuters.

Re: Texas Students Will Be Tracked Via Microchips In IDs
I can't believe how prevalent this actually is!!! WTF are parents thinking allowing this?!? This appears to be the first US case.....In 2005!!


The only grade school in this rural town is requiring students to wear radio frequency identification badges that can track their every move. Some parents are outraged, fearing it will rob their children of privacy.

The badges introduced at Brittan Elementary School on Jan. 18 rely on the same radio frequency and scanner technology that companies use to track livestock and product inventory. (just as you said, Resister!!)

While similar devices are being tested at several schools in Japan so parents can know when their children arrive and leave, Brittan appears to be the first U.S. school district to embrace such a monitoring system.

But some parents see a system that can monitor their children's movements on campus as something straight out of Orwell.

"There is a way to make kids safer without making them feel like a piece of inventory," said Michael Cantrall, one of several angry parents who complained. "Are we trying to bring them up with respect and trust, or tell them that you can't trust anyone, you are always going to be monitored and someone is always going to be watching you?"

If this happens then they'll switch to placing a RFID patch or temporary tattoo on them that'll do the same thing! Techonolgy already exists! More than likely the people will readily accept it like the ignorant, digital TV watching, zombies they are.

so when they TELL YOU it's for the kids ! as in the district getting their money ???
1.wtf was wrong with the old fashioned head count ?
2. of course it's all about the money as WHO'S TO SAY they're NOT banging these cards as in what we used to call ""paper soldiers"" ?
3.what about the SECURITY of the individual student and most likely their direct family IF THIS GETS HACKED ? all the personal info etc right there for the pedos and ID thieves --

now i'm SURE YOU CAN also think about more reasons to ILLUSTRATE THE BS that this IS really all about.

control
monitoring the individual
acclimating Texans to this bs
etc

floor's all yours AND TEXAS ?????? we expect way better from YOU.
