RFID chips for Texas students....Texas Has Gone To Far!


RFID chips for Texas students....Texas Has Gone To Far!

HotAir has reported a story of the Lone Star state gone crazy, a community wanting to ensure the safety of at risk children, or just a bunch of bureaucrats trying to grab onto some extra cash. The San Antonio Times broke the story of a school district which will start “tracking” students in middle and high school using RFID chips. What could possibly go wrong?

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…
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.

 In fact, one of the words which Lee DeCovnick uses at The American Thinker to describe this new intrusion into American privacy, was Orwellian.

Farmers currently use chips to track cattle and hogs. RFID is also commonly used for tracking store retail inventories and monitoring vehicle access to gated properties. Now that we have the technology, we’re “chipping” our children for money and their supposed safety? Orwell and Huxley must be outraged that their warnings have gone so unheeded.

But wait there's more,

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.

SO, by implementing this RFID system they can track how many students are attending school therefore qualifying for more federal and state funding never mind if the students are learning anything just as long as they are there.........

 Not done yet,

Chip readers on campuses and on school buses can detect a student’s location but can’t track them once they leave school property. Only authorized administrative officials will have access to the information, Gonzalez said.
“This way we can see if a student is at the nurse’s office or elsewhere on campus, when they normally are counted for attendance in first period,” he said.

I do not think this will work 100%, because the entrepreneurs in the school will make money off it, by charging students money each day to carry their cards for them so they can leave the school grounds.
This is just another way to get Americans to comply with being tracked in our every move, just one more step towards total control by the liberal communists.

WAKE UP AMERICA!!

Perhaps someone else can recall the link, but I read that the school district would receive approximately two million dollars for this, but they did not actually have the equipment in place nor the personel to track the students. They just wanted the cash.

Even if they did , 60 seconds in a microwave will fry the chip with a pop. Make sure it's an old microwave not the one in moms kitchen
