Public Schools Use RFID Chips to Track and Punish Students For Pre-Crime

In the San Antonio school district, the Student Locator Project (SLP) is being beta-tested at Jay High School and Jones Middle School – two schools in the Northside district. The SLP includes the use of radio frequency identification technology (RFID) to “make schools safer, know where our students are while at school, increase revenues, and provide a general purpose ‘smart’ ID card.”

In order to check out school library books, register for classes, pay for school lunches, the“smart” ID card is being employed to trace and track students and their movements on campuses all across America. By using leverage of educators to coerce school districts to adopt this method of tracking students, the argument for the use of the RFID technology is campus safety, efficient registration, and food and library programs.

In Austin, Texas, collaboration with the Global Positioning System (GPS) and RFID technology isbeing used to deter students from skipping classes. In fact, those students having a negative record with the school they attend are being targeted to be under surveillance.

An estimated 1,700 students have already been pledged to the program with parental permission. These students are assigned a “mentor” who oversees the actions of the students and to whom the students must contact on a weekly basis to report to.

This is reminiscent of having a parole officer for student who have not committed a crime, yet are being touted as pre-criminals.

We are already being tracked through several modes :

• GPS
• Internet
• Traffic Cameras
• Computer Cameras and Microphones
• Public Sound Surveillance
• Facial Recognition
