Child Abuse

[Spacecadet]

One day the 'Socialisation assistant' will call little Johnny and Ahmed in for a chat about how it is they're always together and why don't they mix more with the other children...

60 days "Terrorist" detention might interfere a tad with their school work

Security is one thing... electronically monitoring general office staff is another!

Spot on.

Won't be long before they start putting the RFID readers in the lamp-posts in the school yard, and then expand that scheme to the local area...

Next because some of the little darlin's don't like being tracked they'll fit them sub-cutaneously.

How do we know that the building hasn't got sensors built into it to track each security badge? Once you are permanently ID'd by your security badge they could do ANYTHING

is that paranoid or what?

[Spacecadet]

They do that already. We have a security badge which you need to have to access certain areas of the building because you have to pass through turnstiles which are only activated when your security badge is swiped through them

Agreed, once it's acceptable to tag the little darlings its a small step to employers insisting that all employees where a special little badge (failure to do so will result in a formal written warning)

holocaust quote?

You're quite right:

"First they came…" is a poem attributed to Pastor Martin Niemöller (1892–1984) about the inactivity of German intellectuals following the Nazi rise to power and the purging of their chosen targets, group after group.

Linky.

[snaw]

Yep.

First they came for the Communists but I was not a Communist so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Socialists and the Trade Unionists but I was not one of them, so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Jews but I was not Jewish so I did not speak out. And when they came for me, there was no one left to speak out for me.

That's very profound - is it a quote?

Yeah it is, I recognise it but can't quite place it.

Apparently Hungerhill School in Edenthorpe is going to trial putting RFID chips in students' uniforms to track ten of them.

Being from Doncaster and knowing people from Edenthorpe I guess something needs to be done, but this is absolutely disgusting.

Children are little humans, and deserve to be treated like humans. They're not animals, not even those from Edenthorpe.

They may have been approached by Islamic Fundamentalists and enrolled in a 'bomb London' campaign, so can't see anything wrong with this personally. However, surely this fails if they take their uniform off in the school bogs, get changed into something else and then bunk off school?
