U.S. school district to begin microchipping students

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.

It appears the British Government has their own form of indoctrination planned for it's kids 5 and under. - http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/educati...

  • It's fine that they want to know where their buses are, but tagging kids is just plain ridiculous. Tracking devices for children.......great, now their parents and school officials/teachers can be lazy without feeling guilty. Just point & click, there he/she is. Stupid. There's no need for this, and I wouldn't allow: no freakin way.

  • I don't know man, they're preparing our children for the New World Order. The FDA approved verichip, an implantable RFID chip for human use in 2005. RFID chips are in all new U.S. passports, and some people opt to have it implanted as their passport. Youtube it, they have plenty of videos from the mainstream media to Matrics, a company who is pioneering the RFID industry. Their self-proclaimed mission is to "CHIP THE WORLD." They chip products for retail corporations in the U.S. RFID chips are in your X-box 360 games, the white square sticker on the inside cover. Take it off and you'll pull out a tiny black chip which is attached to a square shape coil antenna. Procter and Gamble got together with MIT in 1999 and chipped Gillette razors and sold them to people. Customer Demographics my ass. The corporations are starting it, and pretty soon the government will be able to track us, hence the proposed Real ID Act(wikipedia). Do your research.

  • As of April 2, 2008, all 50 states have either applied for extensions of the original May 11, 2008 compliance deadline or received unsolicited extensions, meaning that the REAL ID Act will not become an issue at federal facilities and airports until December 31, 2009. So yeah about another year. Youtube earthships. I'd like to do a pod on that shit man.

  • You are going to see me repeating this over and over again. There are limits in life and this is one these "Do not cross limits." This technology would be good for the elderly, blind and people with disabilities as a tool, not as a passive instrument of control. Otherwise, It is coming and we will have to say, step back and respect what is left of my privacy. However, stores are already using it and many of you are carrying these devices home without knowing.

    Schoolbags are private property, kids carry them around everywhere....this is SPYING and intolerable.

  • I'd agree with "There’s absolutely no need to be tagging children," since you can get the same results with cell phones to be able to keep in touch with the children. They have GPS capabilities also.

    Obviously the tagging backpacks, has another purpose most likely the 1st step in implanting the chips in the skin to track the children for different puposes than just buses.

  • This is scary to me. I believe it won't be long before the government and "big brother" will know where we are at all times. The new U.S. Passports with tracking chips seems to be the first step.

    Check out youtube's "North American Union and V-Chip" as well as "The Amero".

  • This is absolutely disgusting, but I can't say I didn't see it coming. I can't help but think of East Germany when I hear this type of stuff. "Get 'em while they're young" is right and by the time these kids are in college the chips will be in their arms. The more news I read the more I believe that a revolution is coming, or is the government going to have us completely controlled before enough people realize a revolution is necessary.

  • First pets

    Now school bags

    next infants.

    Chipping didn't become cool until Katrina displaced thousands of pets -- again a solution looking for a problem that leads to the loss of freedom.

  • Don't make children livestock they need there own privacy as well. If you keep taking children's privacy, and if you take away all the fun classes in school nobody will want to learn in school and education will go to the craper even more. I see this myself I just graduated 8th grade there 2 elective that weren't even electives because you had to take them and they sucked. You had to periods of math and language because they want you to do better on the cst's (california standardized tests) all because of NO CHILDREN LEFT BEHIND AND GEORGE BUSH.

    I've been following this for a while. I still have my old passport which I have to get renewed. But has anyone received a new American passport in the last 3 months. I heard that these chips are in them.

  • I would trade bags every day depending on how much stuff I needed to bring with me. Are they planning on chipping every bag they might possibly use?

  • They plan on chipping all of us. Read the real ID Act summary on Wikipedia. They we're going to use rfid chips in our national ID cards, but we'll see if the American people take that. I hope not. Then I'd have to go underground.

  • People need to understand that what is going on is called Incrementalism. It is where you put a frog in a pan and slowly turn up the heat so the frog doesn't know it is being cooked until it is to late.

    Protect your children and the right to home school or all is lost.

  • With everything going on in the world with closet case pedophiles and teachers leading secret lives. Not to say that all of them do but there are those few out there. Who's to say they can't start tracking these kids and learning their everyday habits?

  • My comment was sarcasm, I really don't worship bb.

    Here's the thing:

    When they tag children like dogs, oneday, they'll become adults with RFID tags. If this spreads, the government will track adults who were tagged as children. Pedofiles and the like are no excuse.

  • They'll try to sell it to the public as being able to find your kids when they get abducted, but don't let the corporate controlled media scare you into giving you, and your children's right to privacy away. Why would the FDA approve it for use in humans if they didn't see it in practical use in the future. Bret Bryon is right. It's incrementalism. You should check out the 1981 news report on the bohemian grove. Youtube it. Those people run the show, or at least keep up appearances. I would love to see current turn into an actively engaged and informed community, but that starts with sharing knowledge any way we can. Do the research. For the first time in human history, you can do legitimate research and have access to unlimited resources right in your home. A gateway to knowledge, to social interaction, to current events, an escape from reality for some, a social networking experience for most, undoubtedly the best thing mankind has going for it. No wonder the government want's to censor the internet, just like they've done the mainstream media. Thank god for informed and brave citizens. Thank god for the internet.

  • I would give it back to them; next it would be destroyed.

    The example about parents checking attendance records and what students have for lunch is different. The chips provide instant location. Know what I had for lunch and that I went to school only says two things. I bought lunch and I was marked in attendance. It does not give anyone my location or really personal health records.

  • The story is all over the internet man, just not on prisonplanet.

    http://www.naturalnews.com/023445.html

    google it

    The guy cites his sources, everything is transparent, he even lists the company and the school district involved. So before you try to discredit a story, do the research.

    And since you're obviously afriad of "upsetting" Big Brother, I don't think I want to talk to you. Don't try to contact me either. And a foreign proxy won't keep the government from spying on me, my isp stores my browsing history in it's servers and gives my accumulated information to the Federal Government on Request. And as of this week, the telecomm companies have immunity so wtf can I do.

  • watch this comment being used here, here and here
    I say the pilot program should consist of all FDA employees. If they see this being a good thing, they shouldn't mind being implanted.

    While we're at it, why don't we implant all those who "represent" us in government.

    These are the people we need to keep track of.....
