Student Expelled for Refusing Location Tracking RFID Badge


School makes good on threat of ‘consequences’ for refusing to submit
to ‘Mark of the Beast’ ID scheme

Aaron Dykes
Infowars.com
November 19, 2012

After months of protesting a policy requiring high school students to
wear an RFID-enabled ID badge around their necks at all times, Andrea
Hernandez is being involuntarily withdrawn from John Jay High School
in San Antonio effective November 26th, according to a letter sent by
the district that has now been made public.

Letter from John Jay High School withdrawing Andrea Hernandez for not
submitting to the RFID tracking ID badges.The letter, sent on November
13, informs her father that the Smart ID program, which was phased in
with the new school year, is now in “full implementation” and requires
all students to comply by wearing the location-tracking badges.

Since Andrea Hernandez has refused to wear the badge, she is being
withdrawn from the magnet school and her program at the Science and
Engineering Academy, and instead will have to attend William Howard
Taft HS, which is not currently involved in the ID scheme, unless she
changes her position.

So the majority of the student body is a mass of sniveling cowards?

And this tracking device requires a battery? What is this a full
fledged gps surveillance device with audio and video snooping?

Is the faculty being tracked too? If one wanted to protect children,
one should be watching the adults....

Trust me. It's not about "protecting" the children. If Big Brother can
slide this under our nose and not get shut down then whats next, RFID
tags for every citizen?

Mr. Cat:

Would you do me a favor? I have you and "Marvin The Martian"
completely confused, since your writings are almost identical. You are
both overt racists, don't have the slightest clue about Economics and
Capitalism (hate it), your education is substandard (leaves much to be
desired), one of you is German (?) and the other is a white Hispanic
who hates Hispanics.

Which is which????

Gracias!

It is a bad thing since it serves no real purpose other than to track
students. For what reason? To see if they're in school? What if
they're not, then what? Is it worth the half-million dollars the
school district has spent on this RFID nonsense in just two buildings
to see if kids are in school? And they want to cover the other 112
schools in the district under this program for a cost of tens of
millions of dollars? Only people in a southern state like Texas are
this stupid.

Well, all it takes is one true individual out of a group of monkeys to
get a movement against it going, which is what seems to have started
with this idiotic program.

I am only guessing here, but this is most likely nothing more than an

For security, we have a similar situation at many businesses. An

electronically with RFID. We tend to get upset when the government
does this and find it perfectly acceptable when the private sector
gives us money (wages) when we carry the device.

I personally think this is a great motivator of creativity. The
creative students will figure that they can cause caos by exchanging
badges throught the day or figure out how to create Faraday shields.
If the school uses it for more than attendance, entry to a class room,
and track both the coming AND going, they could enable their device
upon entry to the school and cover it with a Faraday shield upon
leaving.

Andrea Hernandez is missing a great opportunity.

It's suspected that it's being done for the school district to qualify
for Texas' state education aid, which sounds pretty stupid since
they're unlikely to get anywhere near the amount of aid money to even
cover the full costs of implementing the system in all their
district's schools. Only Texans can think in that kind of math.

Depends on the company. RFID would be needed for high security risk
situations, it's pointless for Walmart.

what's your point? My point is that many places that are not consumer
driven use RFID tags for their employees and the employees do not
revolt because they are getting paid.

BTW: many consumer businesses ARE using RFID, but for the "other
direction". They embed a single bit RFID in the product and disable
it upon purchase. If the product is removed from the store without
being disabled, an alarm goes off. This helps prevent theft.

You are wrong about "playing games". Our country (not yours) was
founded on disobedience; disobedience overthrew King George and his
army of regulars. The best way to void a half million dollar system
is to make it useless. The students are already doing that by
breaking their badges or leaving them at home.

If the school is using the system to gain revenue based on income, the
students can defeat the system buy using a dremel tool to remove the
chip from the back and create a lower attendance.

My point is that the majority of businesses don't need to use those
tags, it wouldn't be for any true security purposes. And of course,
if they're going to blackmail people into using them by telling them
either wear it or lose the job and the money, then yeah, in order to
feed, clothe and house themselves and their families, they'll
reluctantly wear the badge. Where's the individual choice in the
matter? You're all about individualism, aren't you? Or does
Corporate America have the right to negate the individual and his
choice?

Nothing wrong with that. It's applied to the product, not the
person.

They can do whatever they want - if they have the will. Apparently no
one had the will until one stood out with a will and made a definitive
statement. Then all the good little monkeys follow.

You are wrong about that. The majority of companies DO track their
employees, some with RFID, some with bar code readers, factories and
Consumer stores use punched time cards.

The only thing new here is the RFID aspect. My personal opinion is
that Andrea's movement is an empty movement since, "she would be
content with wearing her basic freshman ID badge she received before
the RFID issue arose."[1]

Push come to shove they can buy those bags used by the toll roads to 'turn

Then a quick visit to your local microwave oven does wonders.

I'm surprised they haven't found a way to get high off the fucking
things. Maybe cut the RFID in little pieces, drop the pieces in a bag,
set the bag on fire and snort the fumes. Hell, if not get high perhaps
it'll kill off a few future liberal demrats.

"Once again, we are looking at technology as a means for increasing
the safety and security of our students at Jay. During the 2012-2013
school year, the District will be piloting software that will help us
immediately locate students WHILE THEY ARE IN THE SCHOOL BUILDING.
This Student Locator Project will be piloted at Jay High School, Jay
Science & Engineering Academy and at Jones Middle School and be fully
operational by the end of September."

and

"We want to assure you that the "smart" ID cards store no personal
information, and the "smart" ID card DOES NOT WORK OUTSIDE OF THE

It is a very bad thing as far as precedence is concerned. I question
the battery idea too - if you need a battery to make it work 100% it
suggests some relatively long range RFID not just 30 feet.

and this has the students SS numbers for identification? Not the sort
of thing I'd want to broadcast.

"The controversial ID badge includes the photo and name of each
student, a barcode tied to the student's social security number, as
well as an RFID chip which pinpoints the exact location of the
individual student, including after hours and when the student leaves
campus."

They did offer to remove the battery and take out the RFID chip- which
only leaves the barcode, which I wouldn't find objectionable as long
as it isn't prominently displayed OR didn't contain anything like a SS
number, and leave the silly things in the school when one leaves.

It is also scary that more people didn't protest this or ask for chip
removal. But this is texas.... can't expect too much, when their
idea of freedom is a police state.

Big brother is interested no doubt, but this is probably fueled and
promoted by Big Brother's Corporate Paymasters.

"RFID tracking chip which will actively broadcast a signal at all
times."

Not a simple passive transponder RFID chip but a serious active
transmitter....

"School officials hope to expand the program to the district’s 112
schools, with a student population of 100,000. Although implementation
of the system will cost $500,000, school administrators are hoping
that if the school district is able to increase attendance by tracking
the students’ whereabouts, they will be rewarded with up to $1.7
million from the state government."

The real goal: 100,000 students, then everyone to protect against
terrorists, voter fraud and illegal aliens. Who can't see that
coming?

$500K to install it and 1.7 mil to pay for it? That's government
arithmetic.

Interesting that you do not oppose this on the grounds of liberty, but
on more pragmatic grounds.

I think these things are a wast of time, but I do not see a civil rights
issue here, at least no as long as the only place they are required is
in school. The school is legally responsible for the safety of the minor
children in its care. The way the courts work these days, a kid can skip
school, get hurt, the parents sue because the school did not prevent
their child from skipping, and the courts would rule in their favor. The
school is merely protecting itself.

Kids are smart, they will quickly find a away around this technology.

Should the school, or the local government require such IDs at all time,
then we have a civil rights issue.

One of my favorite stories is the group of college students who took 3
sheep; painted them: 1,2, & 4; and then let the the THREE sheep loose
on campus.

The students could wear their badges going into school and then cover
them with a faraday shield when they leave.

After they get bored playing the games, there is a very simple legal
solution that does not involve going to court. The school has
expressed that it is acceptable to wear a deactivated card upon
request. Every student should request a deactivated card.

Well for one, they make the tracking a condition for a "right" to an
education.

They intend to broadcast social security numbers?

How do you feel about getting your own RFID? To prevent voter fraud,
or child abuse, or illegal aliens, or to provide marketing info, or?
Doubtless someone will come up with some way to make it seem innocuous
and palatable. What then?

How so?

The girl's refusal to wear the badge simply means that she will go to
school somewhere else. Her right to get an education has not been infringed.

I think it is a matter of civil rights. I expect privacy, not 24/7
tracking. To make it a condition for a right to a government
guaranteed education is wrong too.

"The way the courts work these days, a kid can skip
school, get hurt, the parents sue because the school did not prevent
their child from skipping, and the courts would rule in their favor.
The school is merely protecting itself."

So, your justification is that courts will (or can or could or might)
shift responsibility for a child's behavior (who isn't in their
custody) to the school, is a reason to track all students? You don't
see a problem with that logic? Wrong + Wrong = Right oh yeah, what
was I thinking?

Kids are smart, etc.. So this is just another aspect of their
training? Kinda like "we don't trust you and need to keep tabs on
you" That's a good lesson, that works on so many levels to turn out
model citizens.

Then I'd wonder about the technology and what its capabilities and
requirements are. These batteries they mention are rechargeable? The
RFID field is strong enough to power these things, so they can
autonomously initiate phoning in to headquarters? Are they putting RF
transmitters all around the school to recharge batteries?

If this is to protect children, how does the electronics know that the
card actually belongs to the person wearing it?

Who pays for lost stolen or broken cards?

The the kids can go to a private school. The right to an education does
not mean a right to be educated on the state's nickel. If the girl does
not wish to abide by the school's rules, then she is free to seek
education elsewhere.

By the way is there not also a statement in that article that these
badges do not track anyone outside of the school? Would this not mean
that there is no invasion of privacy? There are serious civil rights
issues at stake in our nation, issues such as the Federal government
telling me that I may, or may not use a ticket I bought to fly on a
privately owned airplane.

I do agree, however that the girl in question has a valid first
amendment issue. She obviously believes that this badge would place upon
her the "mark of the beast"(Rev. 13:16-18). Requiring her to wear the
badge would violate her constitutionally guaranteed right to freely
exercise her faith. On this issue, I believe that the school must acquiesce.

Wow. You're just way too simplistic a thinker, aren't you? The kids
can go to a private school. Sure. They can actually do it tomorrow
or this afternoon. So long as daddy can cough up $10K or $20K to pay
for just the first year's tuition. Got a spare $10K or $20K to send
your kid to private school tomorrow? No? Oops. I guess then the
kids *can't* go to a private school. There's a reason why public
schools exist for most people, you know.

She only has 3 options: public, private or home schooling. Public is
the cheapest for most families, private is not an option for most
families and likely neither is home schooling. If she refuses one for
legitimate enough reasons and is refused to be accepted elsewhere for
whatever other reasons and home schooling is impractical if not
unaffordable, where does that leave the kid?

No need to bring religion into it. It's just a stupid waste of money

No one said that the exercise of rights has no monetary cost. If the
family does nto wish to send the kid to a private school, then she needs
to follow the rules. The issue here is not a right to an education.

Except that her religious beliefs are the cause of her objection. Like
it or not, religion is a part of the issue, in fact you might say that

Actually, as I revisit the article, I see a posted copy of the
school's letter to the family in which the school offered to keep her
in school even with the battery and chip removed from the RFID badge.
In that case, the kid has no real complaint to make other than some
science fiction religion one that is proof of no violation of anything
whatsoever, including her religious beliefs. For her to make a
legitimate case in that sense, she'd have to give up anything
numerical that is associated with her - her address, her cell phone
number, her internet IP, her driver's license, her social security
number ... but somehow all of those tracking numbers are perfectly
fine with her. So it's a slam-dunk. She has no case. She should
return to school and wear the badge with, as offered by the school,
the battery and chip removed.

I agree with you on this with one minor exception. The article
stated, " part of the accommodation my daughter and I would have to
agree to stop criticizing the program and publicly support" That part
is not acceptable.

The part that IS interesting is that the school has stated that it
allows noncompliance with the RFID. By offering that term, the school
can not deny the same conditions to ALL of the other students.

The father has an ace in his pocket on this. He could agree not to
publicly criticize the program if the school publicly stated that the
RFID portion is optional and that ANY student could have its RFID
disabled.

Agreed. The government is good for simplistic solutions with
unintended consequences.

"The controversial ID badge includes the photo and name of each
student, a barcode tied to the student's social security number, as
well as an RFID chip which pinpoints the exact location of the
individual student, including after hours and when the student leaves
campus."

The fact that a battery is involved (unless the media got it wrong)
means this is no simple transponder RFID, With a battery the device
has the energy necessary to initiate communications - not just reply
when it is interrogated by a nearby scanner.

When it comes to religion, I'd definitely not allow her rejection of
RFID on that basis!

Religion knows no bounds when it comes to the stupidity that can
become part of law.

You'd agree with her religious objection? BUT:

How do you feel about city zoning restrictions allowing minarets and
calls to prayer? Ganja anyone? Polygamy? Slavery? Ritual
clitorectomy? "Honor" killings?

Scientologists, Mooneys, Watchtower loonies - has a nice ring doesn't
it? Pass the Koolaid, I got a comet I need to catch.

You can't just allow the white bread protestants a free reign without
allowing all the other cults to have equal representation.

There was this Jewish Sect I remember reading about out in California.
Their religion forbade working on the Sabbath or even being outdoors
on the Sabbath. They wanted permission to erect covered walkways on
sidewalks and crossing streets figuring that they'd be free to move
around while keeping to the letter of religious law. Now as a
sun-worshiper wouldn't that abrogate my own religious rights?

Yup. But that law was enacted to protect some mythical Pollyanna idea
of religion, not the kill or be killed types of cults we have.

I agree with the idea on a cerebral level at least. Practically, I
don't buy it. These aren't religions so much as they are ideological
political factions or nations. The major religions see killing and
dying as necessary (for the greater glory of god, of course), but
within each are sects that are also perfectly willing to kill and die
to promote their own form of delusion.

Every election in the US has to be some pissing contest about
religion. Enough already. It is not working as intended. It is
really about wealth control and power - not God.

You never addressed my own question - just how far are you willing to
go under the idea of religious freedom, when it isn't your religion?
Would a minaret and calls to prayer be OK? In theory at least, this
should be a religious right.

Petraeus Set Up By Israel .
.
November 20, 2012   AFP .
.
Familiar faces, institutions connected to woman who brought down CIA
chief
http://americanfreepress.net/?p=7373
.
By Ralph Forbes .
The establishment media tells a tangled tale about the scandal that
forced the resignation of David H. Petraeus as Central Intelligence
Agency (CIA) director. However, there are important details that shed
new light on the matter compared to what the mainstream media has been
reporting.
.
Many believe the scandal was a set-up designed to bring down the general
precisely because he was a highly-placed figure standing in opposition
to the push by Israel's current rulers to engage the United States in a
war against Iran.
.
Although previously a favorite of neoconservative supporters of Israel,
Petraeus ended up on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's
"destroy" list after the general testified before Congress on March 16,
2010, that U.S. interests and Israeli interests are not identical;
Israel is a strategic burden, not an asset, to the United States; and
Israeli policies endanger the lives of our troops.
.
The reaction to the candid remarks by Petraeus provides a revealing list
of his critics. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.)-a personal
friend of Netanyahu and a leading supporter of Israel- was
outraged. Foreign Policy, a magazine of the Foreign Policy Association,
whined that Petraeus was 'hardening' U.S. policy toward Israel. Abe
Foxman, national director of the Anti-Defamation League, issued a
statement condemning Petraeus.
.
The web that entangled Petraeus also features a similar cast of
interconnected individuals and institutions. When Petraeus took command
of the troops in Iraq, the Jebsen Center for Counter-Terrorism at Tufts
University-
"an incubator for counter-terrorist strategies" was cooperating closely
with pro-Israeli policy groups such as the Hudson Institute, the
American Israel Public Affairs Committee and the Project for the New
American Century.
.
The -other womanâ- in the Petraeus affairâ-"Paula Broadwell (ne
Kranz) just happens to have been deputy director of Jebsen. A West Point
graduate, Mrs. Broadwell -a specialist in 'black ops- had participated
in a summer cadet exchange program in Israel and even lived in a
kibbutz.
.
Notorious for his interest in younger women, Petraeus was a perfect
target for a "honeypot" operation. Broadwell insinuated herself into the
general's world by writing a bragging account of his extremely
successful career.
.
The scandal-it seems-was supposed to
be unveiled before the election, perhaps intended to prevent President
Barack Obama's reelection, but backstage maneuvering prevented that
from happening. However, the result has been that high-level opposition
in Washington to Israel's agenda has certainly been crippled with
Petraeus's ouster.

Slice a fair size potato and sandwich the tag between the halves. Works for
most uW but gets interesting with the really high power units.

It's called a 'cell phone' and is very easily tracked.

It's a magnet school. Can't get a similar much less equal education
opportunities anywhere else.

Which brings up the question of the justification to 'improve attendance'.
Not may kids I know skip classes in a school they had to compete to gain
entrance.

That 'does not track' statement has been made by Toll Tags and more than a
few big internet companies. Read anything about warrentless searches of the
internet/emails lately? Then there are the statements and results of the
games played by the likes of FaceBook.

Wow. You're just way too simplistic a thinker, aren't you? The kids
can go to a private school. Sure. They can actually do it tomorrow
or this afternoon. So long as daddy can cough up $10K or $20K to pay
for just the first year's tuition. Got a spare $10K or $20K to send
your kid to private school tomorrow? No? Oops. I guess then the
kids *can't* go to a private school. There's a reason why public
schools exist for most people, you know.

She only has 3 options: public, private or home schooling. Public is
the cheapest for most families, private is not an option for most
families and likely neither is home schooling. If she refuses one for
legitimate enough reasons and is refused to be accepted elsewhere for
whatever other reasons and home schooling is impractical if not
unaffordable, where does that leave the kid?

No need to bring religion into it. It's just a stupid waste of money
for the school district, that's all that needs to be said about it.

Waste of money for the school system and the state (who has cut the
education budget repeatedly and drastically of late)

Spend money to purportedly cut students skipping classes but not spend money
to improve class size and staffing.

Rather pointless if the reason for the tag is to track somebody.
As soon as it disappears they will be looking for you.

Make a phony badge and have a friend wear yours would be one way.
Leave it in a classroom.
Hide it in a teachers pocket.

The only reason a tower might be needed is to transmit the location of

You are a good little sheeple.

You probably also believe that people who have nothing to hide should
not mind government intrusion in your personal affairs.

Some (many, most?) of the current phones cannot be totally disabled with the
on/off switch. The original reason/justification was so that the system
could up date the roaming data, OS and system parameters.

If memory serves there were several patents filed on one or more of the
processes involved.

I wasn't even referring to the on/off switch. The GPS can be shut
down by turning off the location services. With GPS off, it may use
wifi of cell towers for a general location. Of course, one can shut
off wifi too. I have no reason for either of those to be on. If one
imagines that they can be tracked, they can simply carry it in a photo
film shield bag.

Big difference, it isn't the government keeping its citizens under
surveillance.

In the case of the work place. I can see a need for that sort of
thing for: delivery services, cross country freight, maritime
shipping, bonded couriers, high value items, police or others at risk,
etc.. and then only to see where their cargo is, and the employees
safety.

I'm not aware of any tracking for individual employees, just for the
sake of keeping tabs on them.

I'm not sure I believe that. I run a tight ship computer wise -
firewalls that alert to programs trying to phone out, cookies
destroyed daily, scripts forbidden, sites like google analytics,
double click, etc. looked out in the browser and firewall, no U toobe,
no "flash" modules, no twitter, facebook, fake phone numbers, even
fake SS numbers in some cases, never use my mother's maiden name for a
security check, I wouldn't give my parents my SS number, battery and
cell phone only get together when I need to make a call on the road,
no smart phone, no camera in the laptop or tablet, no personal
business at work or unsecured networks, routinely burn old bank
statements and things of that nature, etc..

It ain't perfect but way better than most

Not everyone is oblivious to what is going on, but I do fear that the
idiots that post to facebook and twitter are brain dead when it comes
to their data security.
It is loading more messages.
