U.S. School District to Begin Microchipping Students

Tuesday, June 17th, 2008

By David Gutierrez | A Rhode Island school district has announced a pilot program to monitor student movements by means of radio frequency identification (RFID) chips implanted in their schoolbags.

The Middletown School District, in partnership with MAP Information Technology Corp., has launched a pilot program to implant RFID chips into the schoolbags of 80 children at the Aquidneck School. Each chip would be programmed with a student identification number, and would be read by an external device installed in one of two school buses. The buses would also be fitted with global positioning system (GPS) devices.

Parents or school officials could log onto a school web site to see whether and when specific children had entered or exited which bus, and to look up the bus’s current location as provided by the GPS device.

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has criticized the plan as an invasion of children’s privacy and a potential risk to their safety.

“There’s absolutely no need to be tagging children,” said Stephen Brown, executive director of the ACLU’s Rhode Island chapter. According to Brown, the school district should already know where its students are.

“[This program is] a solution in search of a problem,” Brown said.

The school district says that its current plan is no different than other programs already in place for parents to monitor their children’s school experience. For example, parents can already check on their children’s attendance records and what they have for lunch, said district Superintendent Rosemary Kraeger.

Brown disputed this argument. The school is perfectly entitled to track its buses, he said, but “it’s a quantitative leap to monitor children themselves.” He raised the question of whether unauthorized individuals could use easily available RFID readers to find out students’ private information and monitor their movements.

Because the pilot program is being provided to the school district at no cost, it did not require approval from the Rhode Island ethics commission.

That attitude suggested that our children do not have any rights of privacy. They have to be tracked like dogs. Parents should stand against it. Today is every child, tomorrow is every adult. It is time for America to stand for freedom from being tracked everywhere.
God bless ACLU!

How would the superintendent like to be tracked? I don’t think she would.

Ron Paul was the champion of the Constitution and the civil rights contained within, but the vast majority of people voted for two more New World Order candidates. This is just a sample of what is coming people.
You can still join our Liberty March in Washington on July 12th if you want to fight the BEAST.

To all U.S. friends - please fight this as hard as you can. It sounds as if your country is going along the same lines as the Big-Brother Government mentality of the U.K.!

Really??
That is nothing…..They have been micro-chipping students school bags here in Japan for 3 years already with GPS. I am referring this to private kindergarten and elementary schools all across Japan.

It’s pretty rare that I agree with the ACLU because I don’t believe in all the “civil liberties” they claim we should have. But this time Big Brother has crossed the line, and I’m siding with the ACLU on this one.

What constitution ??

The US of America doesn’t have a valid constitution that’s why your ruling body can do what ever they like and you can’t stop them.

300 million people over 300 years with 450 million arms and not one person with a spine … go figure.

The plant chip cannot be “The Mark of The Beast”.

OK that’s if you take the description provided in Scripture of “The Mark of The Beast”.

The ‘mark’ according to the full expansion of the terms provided, has to come in by way of “deception”.

For the full description of terms see 2/3rds down the page at

http://www.iron-clay.com/one_world_government.html

Under the link “Mark of The Beast Exposed”.

Simply put, because you all recognise that “The Mark in the inserted chip” it cannot be the inserted chip, however there are a number of other reasons spelled out on that page as to why the inserted chip cannot be “The Mark”.

True to it’s description “The Mark’s ID” still eludes you behind a red-herring.

The actual Mark is here right now and most if not all of you will have it … again true to it’s description.

man this is messed up, what will the world be like in 50, 70 or 100 years? i bet the people sickeningly abusing their positions of power won’t be happy until every one is in a mind control program with no life of their own.

When will it end?

Will it be like Half-Life 2? Police forces keeping people in line using force, and a small number of people trying to rebel and be free?

Where is Gordon Freeman when you need him?

Actually, as moct scholars suggest, the KJV of the bible is the is one of the most incorrect translations of the bible. Secondly, the New World Order is aligned with Christianity. So, you are part of it. Begin the research into this religion that has manipulated and duped 80 percent of the world, and led to the torture, murder, terror, hatred, and tyranny that has occurred since in the name of Jesus, Prince of Peace(how ironic). Funny that one of the largest forms of manipulation being used to strip us of our freedoms and further this tyrannical agenda is actually laws and morals based on the Bible. This book being one that has yet to produce any evidence of its authenticity.

Forget about the mark of the Beast nonsense , it’s an Authoritarian State control system and if they want to put one in me , they’ll have mark of the size 12 , on their ass .

Aaron Russo was correct they DO want to RFID everybody , so spread the word .
