Andrea Hernandez won’t have to leave her high school for refusing to wear a badge designed to track her every move there – yet – her attorneys announced today.

A district court judge for Bexar County, Texas, has granted a temporary restraining order to prevent Northside Independent School District from removing a Hernandez from John Jay High School’s Science and Engineering Academy because she refused to wear a name badge designed to use a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) chip to track students’ precise location on school property, the Hernandez’s attorneys announced today.

“The court’s willingness to grant a temporary restraining order is a good first step, but there is still a long way to go—not just in this case, but dealing with the mindset, in general, that everyone needs to be monitored and controlled,” said John W. Whitehead, president of The Rutherford Institute.

“Regimes in the past have always started with the schools, where they develop a compliant citizenry. These ‘Student Locator’ programs are ultimately aimed at getting students used to living in a total surveillance state where there will be no privacy, and wherever you go and whatever you text or email will be watched by the government,” Whitehead warned.

The school had reportedly offered to allow Hernandez to wear a non-functional badge, giving the appearance of support for the program, but she declined.

That is sweet indeed,its taken nearly 6 months for folks to start making real waves on this issue.
Strapping a beacon badge on a child for school attendance in order to receive "funding" is wrong from every angle.
Forcing a socialist movement on a by product of a socialist society far exceeds hypocrisy.
You cater to self expression yet refuse responsibility for the fall out ?

Only one student? You would think most parents would just say no. School. Wouldn't be able to do much if most refused.

That is not surprising at all. I am amazed at the number of people who simply give their social security number to absolutely anyone who asks for it. I refused to give mine to a guy working a pawn shop that transferred a gun for me. The guy was shocked. Said in the three years that he had been working there NO ONE had ever refused to give him their SSN just for asking.
