Und next year der chips vill be implanted...Und you vill like it!

What the heck?!?! Where is the outrage over this? I have chills.

Our nation is becoming a bunch of people dependent on the Gov't and willing to be a nation controlled and watched (via drones)and it's not a concern?

Screw these people. Just who do they think they are? I am all for safety but this is over the line. It also show the contempt that administrators have for the students and their parents.

But God forbid that parents be made aware that their daughter is about to undergo outpatient surgery at the local abortionist's office.

I'm all for it as soon as all teachers and administrators start to wear their own chips, so we can see where they are.

Is this idea in place of a permanent search warrant? Gotta wonder how long it will take students to start swapping / losing the gub'mint spy monitors......

I assume someday we will be tagged like our pets with a gps system and a bar code tattooed on our butts (or forehead to make it more convenient).

why do I see enterprising students say keeping
someone else's chip while the person skips class. "Ok I will keep your chip today and you keep my chip tomorrow.."

parents who go along with this krap ought to be reading Brad Thor's Black List...

People laughed at me years back when I wrote a little blurb I called "The Credit Card Syndrome". In that, I wrote about this sort of thing. Remember when credit cards were for business travelers, and really a luxury item? Then, it slowly moved to "another form of ID is needed". Then it was required for any type of deposit, or to rent a car, a truck. Then many places stopped taking checks--you had to use a card. Nowadays, virtually impossible to get things done without a credit card.

Apply that to other things. "We only want to put a transmitter in your car for emergency situations". Now, insurance companies are giving you an "option" for trackers in your car. Next, you can only get a good rate IF you have tracker in your car. Then, slowly, the option of NOT having a tracker will simply go away. This is how it starts, just like a credit card.

Next, it will be an option to have a tracker on YOU, you know, for safety reasons, to lower your medical insurance costs (those who travel in safe areas and avoid dangerous sports get a better rate!) and then there you go. Everyone knows where you are. At first, it will only be mandatory for kids to have those...you know, for safety of the children.

And those inconvenient cell phones....wireless cochlear implants are the way to go.

Not just no, but recall no. Tar and feather no.
What have we created?

Gov Perry where do you stand on this issue? Is this forced upon Texans by oh dark won and his czars? Is this forced and enforced by the st legislators? Where is this mandate originating?

Ye gads this takes the cake. Where are parents on this issue? Rick Perry time to take a stand and tell these clowns enough.

Where is the democrat outrage about this? How is this any different than their feigned outrage regarding Voter I.D., eg. - Show Me Your Papers!!

This is the liberal way. Total control over the individual. The students should take these chips and throw them in their face.

Radio collars and tracking teams for kiddies at school just like Wild Kingdom... and why is this. Safety maybe?? No, silly nilly. Money.

fta: The district plans to spend $525,065 to implement the pilot program and $136,005 per year to run it, but it will more than pay for itself, predicted Steve Bassett, Northside's assistant superintendent for budget and finance. If successful, Northside would get $1.7 million next year from both higher attendance and Medicaid reimbursements for busing special education students, he said.

Your tax dollars at work. And once more I ask, you don't homeschool your kids why?

In Texas?

I read that this will be implemented with obamacare. Don't remember the exact page, but it does indicated that as one of the provisions.

All about the money. Government doling out money on lost causes. More money for poor and special Ed. Just more feel good money down a rathole.

District Gaulieter Pascual Gonzalez said, "Yellow stars on campuses and on school buses can detect a Jew's location but can't track them once they leave school property. Only authorized Nazi Party officials will have access to the information."

Scary. Cell phones and iPads can be tracked, too. Automobile tracking is on the way. I have nothing against the technology per se, but Constitutional limits must be placed on its use. What's scarier in this case is that it's only about the money - this time. We all know there are more sinister motives to track our every move.

This is all kinds of wrong. And in Texas no less. How strange.

The intrusive chips will contain political affiliation data.

Right idea, wrong target. Monitoring technology (cell phones, RFID, etc.) should be used with those on parole or out on bail, prison inmates, parolees, ex-felons, those on the sex offender database, Bill Clinton...

In Texas? If this is allowed to continue, you can kiss this country goodbye.

Microwave oven, 10 seconds.

The next generation's "conservatives" will use the "if it was good enough for me" argument to accept permanently implanted ID.
