Student Refusing RFID Badge Now Fights Expulsion Order

BeatTheChip writes "Lawyers representing Andrea Hernandez, a science and engineering student at John Jay High School, are fighting an expulsion notice issued a week ago for refusing to wear a Smart ID badge. To represent her, lawyers filed a preliminary court injunction, seeking legal restraints on the school. She maintains stance of refusal to wear any badge containing an RFID tag for reasons of basic privacy and conflicts with her belief system. The controversial decision for her school to adopt the NFC badges is part of the Student Locator Project, tracking attendance. Local schools started issuing the lanyard badges this fall despite parental outcry at NISD school board meetings."

Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666

"Him who has understanding" - programmers?
"calculate the number of the beast" - programmers.
"for it is the number of a man" - primary key
"His number is 666" - SELECT * FROM PEOPLE WHERE ID=666;

I ditched with a friend in high school and went to a different school to visit his girlfriend. We were just going to sneak in and eat lunch with her. The school had over 2000 kids in it, and we made sure to arrive in between classes so there were kids walking around all over the place. We didnt even get in the front door before we got questioned. Somehow a teacher knew that we didnt go to that school.

Let me guess: the girlfriend went to a girls-only school.
