Brazilian Schoolchildren Tagged By Computer Chips

Posted by timothy on from the combine-two-fetishes-into-one dept.

New submitter smi.james.th writes with an AP story, and extracts from it: "'Grade-school students in a northeastern Brazilian city are using uniforms embedded with computer chips that alert parents if they are cutting classes, the city's education secretary, Coriolano Moraes, said Thursday.' Personally I don't find this too inspiring. Mr. Orwell certainly has warned the world about this."

    Ah yes, the hippie mentality, children are your buddies and it's pretty cool when they're 15 so they can drink and do pot with their cool parents.

    Children are the wards of their adult parents. It's a lot of responsibility and work and you know what? You're right, fuck that let's just let those little bastards run wild! Why would I give a shit where my kid is, fuck it - let him go to some condemned hotel and smoke crack!

    Fucking tosser.
