A Louisiana public school’s decision to purchase palm scanners to speed up lunch lines and payments has been met with religious opposition.
Mother Mamie Sonnier said that she will not allow her children to participate in the scanner payment program, alleging that the technology would imprint the mark of the beast, or 666, on their hands.
Moss Bluff Elementary School principal Charles Caldarera says the system will reduce errors and is optional, but that wasn’t enough of an argument for Mrs Sonnier, who has taken the program to be a sign of the apocalypse.
The elementary school sent out letters on Monday explaining the program and why it was being implemented.
With more than 1,000 students at the school, they hope that the palm vein scanners will streamline the lunch period and reduce costly payment errors.
It will also afford children more time to eat if they are spending less in line.
