The Christian Science Monitor is calling it ”an unusual alliance of Evangelical Christians and civil liberties groups who claim that the technology is an over-extension of technology into personal lives.”
In a move that is certain to rankle people fighting for civil liberties AND raise the hair on the back of Texas Governor Rick Perry’s neck, a Texas judge has ruled that the San Antonio Northside Independent School District (NISD) has the right to force students to wear locator chips when they are on school property. NISD is the fourth largest school district in Texas and serves 100,000 students.
The case was brought by Steve Hernandez, the father of Andrea Hernandez, when the school district told her she had to wear a tracking device while on school grounds or she would be expelled and transferred from a special magnet school to a high school in her neighborhood. Andrea, 15, is a sophomore in the NISD district, and was backed in federal court by The Rutherford Institute, a conservative non-profit Virginia-based policy center and civil liberties organization. Rutherford attorneys said that the requirement was a violation of Hernandez’s constitutional right to privacy and her family’s evangelical Christian beliefs, and that the school had no right to expel her for refusing to wear it.
On Tuesday, Reuters reported that U.S. District Judge Orlando Garcia ruled in a 25 page ruling that the lawsuit failed to assert the claims of federal and state civil liberties violations and that the school district has the right to expel Hernandez for refusing to wear the device. He said that the issue of school safety trumps the lawsuits five claims of federal and state civil liberties violations.
ahh Texas leading the fight for totalitarian rule, i can see safety in this but i feel like McDonnell vaginal ultrasound it's intrusive a wreaks of Orwell 1984. they claim safety and ability to locate your kid in emergencies, IMO it's a effort to log your kid into the system, for who knows what future abuse, they already are systematically removing our Rights. are they targeting ethnic school kids?
