LOL Texas.. honestly why are they treating kids like prisoners? What is the motive?

This is not the way to solve their high dropout rates.. and what about "personal freedom?" Is it not valid in this case?

A schoolgirl gets expelled because she refuses to wear the tag on religious grounds .

Andrea Hernandez, a sophomore student at the John Jay High School's Science and Engineering Academy in San Antonio, has been effectively expelled from school for refusing to wear the tags, citing religious, privacy, and freedom of expression reasons.

I expected that from a Liberal not some nutty religious person,

What happened to all the Liberals today, the ones from the vietnam era wouldn't put up with such nonsense.

She has to be trolling.

"I feel it's an invasion of my religious beliefs," she told InfoWars. "I feel it's the implementation of the Mark of the Beast*. It's also an invasion of my privacy and my other rights."

Regardless, forced to wear a chip? Hell, lets just chip everyone at birth. A gps tracker, data recorder, and transponder all together. Get rid of money and only those implanted can buy or drive or do anything. When you do you give a data dump. Speed? Loiter? Don't comply? Easily punished. A lawful society for the greater good.

Sadly that will be seen as desirable by many.

 

[Braznor]

I support anyone's right to reject the option of getting implanted with tracking chips.

 

[techs]

We should just let Texas secede.

 

[Hayabusa Rider]

We should just let Texas secede.

Fine with me.

I think people who think TX should leave but don't really care about forced RFID tags on ordinary citizens should be forced to live there.

 

[Londo_Jowo]

My kids have the same style student ID cards, most all the schools in the Houston are have them.

 

[xj0hnx]

LOL at people acting like anyone is implanting chips in kids in Texas. It's a badge they have to carry at school.

To be fair, they only have to wear it at school and the school even offered to give her a badge that didn't have a RFID chip in it and she still refused citing her religious belief that it was "The mark of the beast".

Poor idiot. The mark of the beast is a birth certificate and the reason Obama doesn't have one.

Saudi Arabia tracking women, warn male gaurdian. TX expels girl for not wearing RFID

This country wants to 'protect' its children by tracking them.

How do you compare that to the Saudis enslaving half its population?

I agree with all your points there I just think that she was trolling with her reason.

This country wants to 'protect' its children by tracking them.

You mean, this country wants to condition the youth of the nation to accept wearing RFID chips on their person, so in the future, when they have their own children, they'll be less averse to actually implanting RFID chips in their offspring.

How do you compare that to the Saudis enslaving half its population?

The Saudis only enslave half their population? Wow, that's generous of them, because we enslave everyone with the income tax, which represents a primary claim on the fruits of one's labor, similar to chattel slavery in the old Antebellum South.

Condition us to accept wearing RFID chips? I have 2 that I'm required to wear at work, we carry multiple ones in our wallets, we have trackers in our phones, and best of all we have all been doing this for years. I don't think we have to be conditioned, we are already doing it willingly.

When she refused to carry any id she did fall into the WTF category with me as well.

I wasn't clear when I launched on my tirade that what I was on about was people who I've conversed with that technology was our savior of security and they fully embraced what I described. Thats creepy.

Because false equivalencies

 

[Matt1970]

I have a problem with a device that tracks a students every move.

 

[DucatiMonster696]

Why do you need to have an id with a RFID chip? What about using this for voting as well would those defending this still be okay? Isn't this just conditioning kids into accepting such practices everywhere in life. /devil's advocate

No joke, my work badge has a RFID which unlocks the door so I can get in the shop. Most refineries in the Houston region require a TWIC card which also has one.

TWIC - Transportation Workers Identification Card.

Actually not. This is hardly the first time I've heard Protestant fundamentalists claim that RFID tags are the Mark of the Beast. Before that, it was bar codes, and before that, it was Social Security numbers*. Mind you, they're pretty piss-poor fundamentalists, seeing as how their bible actually explains what the Mark of the Beast is, it's not just some name that got thrown in without explanation like Behemoth or Leviathan.

*A government program to provide a universal pension for the elderly, which metastasized (illegally) into a tracking system for all taxpayers.

Cultural disconnect. The only people I've ever heard talk like that have been in secure accommodation or been trolling on the internet.

Kind of scary that they really exist huh?

 

[CycloWizard]

I live in the school district where this is happening. I never heard anything about it until I read about it on the BBC yesterday. Apparently similar systems have already been implemented in big cities in other states. NISD is hardly a conservative bastion - it is one of the most liberal districts in the state.
