I covered this case a couple of months ago in my post The “Electronic Concentration Camp” – Girl Expelled from School for Refusing RFID Chip. It seems we now finally have a ruling. Chalk this one up for the fascists. The answer to such absurdity seems to be homeschooling. Public schools don’t seem to be teaching our kids much anyway and now they want to track them like animals. Enough is enough. From Reuters:
(Reuters) – A public school district in Texas can require students to wear locator chips when they are on school property, a federal judge ruled on Tuesday in a case raising technology-driven privacy concerns among liberal and conservative groups alike.
U.S. District Judge Orlando Garcia said the San Antonio Northside School District had the right to expel sophomore Andrea Hernandez, 15, from a magnet school at Jay High School, because she refused to wear the device, which is required of all students.
The district’s RFID policy has also been criticized by conservatives, who call it an example of “big government” further monitoring individuals and eroding their liberties and privacy rights.
Then we find out how all of this is really happening. As always, follow the money.
Texas law counts a student present for purposes of distributing state aid to education funds based on the number of pupils in the classroom at the start of the day. Northside said it was losing $1.7 million a year due to students loitering in the stairwells or chatting in the hallways.
Let freedom ring!

Another chip on top of those in our mobile phones, bank cards, ID cards and passports, we are being tracked by everyone!
ELECTRONIC YELLOW STAR. It has all the potential to do exactly what Adolf Hitler did to the Jews.
Seems like a very high-tech solution for a simple problem. Why not just have teachers make sure students aren’t loitering in the hallway? I find it hard to believe this is the real problem these chips are designed to solve.
It’s not….
Like Hitler that forced Jews to wear the YELLOW STAR. USA IS NAZI GERMANY all over. No kidding. This judge is an excrement. USA 100% becoming naziland. I dont see a big difference personnally witn Hitlers yellow stars except that RDFI chips are even more dangerous !
