Wearing such a barcoded tag can be seen as a mark of the beast as described in Revelation 13 in the Bible.
If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.

Funny story.
I wonder to what extent the school was being overly rigid. For example, perhaps everyone could have been happy if the student merely had to carry the ID card, and not wear it around her neck. At the same time, the bible warns that the mark of the beast will be found on one's forehead or right hand, not worn on a card around one's neck. I wonder if the same folks who are comfortable with making the interpretive jump from "mark on forehead/right hand" to "piece of plastic around neck" are also the folks who read other parts of the bible strictly literally, like the Earth being created in seven days and all that. |

The mark of the beast will say you are not a Christian; that you are against Christ. This is no where even close to that.

Not all extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

Guess they forgot to tell Bill Buckley. "...as we reason and love, we are able to hope. And hope enables us to resist those things that would enslave us." |

Now that it is legal to force your children and teachers to wear a tag around their neck at school you should have no problem extending the principle out and onto the world stage.

There's always a profit to be had in scaring the gullible. Way back in '82 Mary Stewart Relfe made a small fortune off her book New Money System where she argued that the ever-expanding use of UPC was Satan's way of getting his mark in people's hands and foreheads. Any of you sporting UPC codes these days? I hadn't noticed a trend in that direction.
It's tragic and comic, ain't it?

Yes there's always a profit to be had in scaring the gullible. Like scaring people about global warming and swine flu, etc. We have children vanishing, don't you know? Scary! So lets tag everyone.

In Vitoria da Conquista, Brazil, 20,000 grade school students have recently started wearing uniforms embedded with GPS chips similar to those used in pet trackers. The chips automatically send parents a text message as soon as their children enter the school grounds, or if their children are late for more than 20 minutes.
The microchip is embedded either under the school's coat of arms or in one of the sleeves. According to the city's education secretary Coriolano Moraes, the local government decided to launch the project because parents "would always be surprised when told of the number times their children skipped class." Vitoria da Conquista's government has spent $670,000 designing and manufacturing shirts for the first 20,000 students. City officials plan to make more so that all 43,000 public school students in the city from ages 4 to 14 can use the high-tech shirts in 2013. http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/technology-b......977.html Kids fight back: Hackers say they are responsible for taking down the website of a Texas school district in retaliation for a mandatory surveillance program students are being told to comply with. The website for San Antonio’s Northside Independent School District was unavailable at times throughout the weekend and into Monday after hacktivists claiming to be involved with the Anonymous movement waged an attack to draw attention to a controversial new program that requires students to be monitored with tiny Radio Frequency Identification (“RFID”) chips. Through the Twitter account @RemainSilentz, one self-described participant in Anonymous confirmed that NISD.net was taken offline late Friday. “DOWN AND OUT – Boom, track my ass like you track children you pervs,” the user wrote.
