Mark Of The Beast: School Tracking Kids Like Cattle: Student Expelled For Refusing RFID Chip

(Before It's News)

A student who protested against his schools RFID tracking system by not wearing her badge has been expelled. Needless to say this is in the so called Land of the Free, and in San Antonio where lawyers are now being hired to stop expulsion.

John Jay High School sophomore Andrea Hernandez was expelled from her high school after protesting against a new pilot program which tracks the precise location of all attending 4,200 students at Anson Jones Middle School and John Jay High School. Under the “Smart ID” program, ID badges have been issued with a tracking chip, which students must wear when attending school. This allows the school to track the student’s location after leaving campus and for as long as the kid wears the badge.

Apparently the move to improve children’s self worth by tagging them like cattle comes after pressure from neurotic parents who want school staff to always know where children are during the school day. Hernandez continually refused to wear the ID badge. The school did do its best and compromising.  She would be allowed to comply by wearing a badge that had the chip removed, which have made the charade redundant. But it did mean that she would still have to wear the badge’s barcode so teachers would know who she was.  It would have the advantage that everyone would think she agreed with the whole tagging thing. Hernandez refused and was expelled. READMOREHERE
