A federal judge in Texas has issued a ruling that a student’s religious objections to wearing a badge from a school ID program that utilizes radio chips to identify students and faculty and monitor their movements are secular, and therefore, not a concern to the school or court.
“Plaintiff’s objection to wearing the Smart ID badge without a chip is clearly a secular choice, rather than a religious choice,” wrote U.S. District Judge Orlando Garcia in a case brought by the Rutherford Institute on behalf of student Andrea Hernandez, who has been attending John Jay High School in the Northside Independent School District in San Antonio.
“The accommodation offered by the district … removes plaintiffs religious objection from legal scrutiny all together.”
The court record shows that the Hernandez family “felt the chip in the badge was ‘the mark of the beast’ and had a religious objection to the ‘tracking’ of his daughter. Mr. Hernandez also believed that the card prohibited his daughters’ ‘rights’ as a student,” the judge wrote.
The family also objected to a deception suggested by the school, that Andrea would wear a badge like other students, but without a chip, because that would make it appear the family was part of the chip ID program.
1 out of 4200 made a concious decision in their life. I hope you are tall; so you might have a chance to see where you’re walking with the piles of dead bodies that will be in your way.
I don’t think at all the RFID chip is the Mark of the Beast.
Because the Illinois Lottery drew 666 the day after Obama’s election.
There can’t be two marks and Obama’s forcing all his money (his 666 mark) and spending upon the whole world.
I’d say sent the Judge packing, but I’d rather send IN a few Patriots packing…
lili, I am wondering if this is the right topic for the information that you have uploaded. You clearly appear to know alot of names involved with financial scandals. I hope you can reload this to a relevant forum.
Getting back to the subject……….Does this mean that religious reasons for objecting to badge chipping do not qualify?
What could this decision mean in the future for all concerned parents?
It looks like the rights of parents against a schools over-regulated agenda is in real danger.
Will it mean that to protest on religious grounds is not important?
