...don't disable the badge. Presumably the school is using them (or should be) the same way, namely students have to have them, have to have NOT destroyed or disabled them, or they won't be able to get to class...
There is nothing that would keep her from keeping it in an RF shielded sleeve (they already make these for passports) and pull it out when needed.
...a now probably destroyed code book designed specifically for a single operation or mission...
Perhaps it is possible that the MOD still has a backup of the book/pad. While a field agent would tear off and destroy one-time pad pages, the HQ would retain the original.
For all we know 4 or 5 pigeons were released, each with only every 4th or 5th letter of the text, all encoded differently. With that kind of packet loss even three letter agencies would be at a loss
...and this might only be the "CheckSum" pigeon...
Then watch her try to get into any college without a high school diploma.
... you'll probably have to take a useless standardized test and perhaps achieve a certain score on it, but it's still possible.
Yes, like the GED.
I think that school is a safe place that students can experiment with 'rebellion,' and also acts as a sandbox for the bigger world. Hopefully one lesson she might learn is that rebellion, however small, has a cost.
At the end of the day, the school is free to set reasonable requirements for attendance, and I.D. cards are a relatively benign way to make sure the wrong people aren't roaming the halls.
I think for about any joke you could find a situation where someone couldn't find the joke funny.
Happened to me...
Was joking with a lady who had bought a lottery ticket about how, "...it was more likely she would be hit by lightning than win the lottery..."
She glared at me and told me that she HAD been hit by lightning, and how horrible it was, and doctors had told her that it would shorten her lifespan, etc. Really ruined my comedic timing.
In retrospect, I've wondered about the odds of me telling a "being hit by lightning" joke to someone who was actually "hit by lightning." And, I wonder if she won the lottery...:)
...She wasn't refusing an ID card, she was refusing to wear a device that allows them to track her location at all times.
Yes, she also refused a regular card that didn't have the tracking capabilities. Which would indicate that this had nothing to do with 'tracking,' she didn't feel like following the rules.
With all the recent problems with security on campus, carrying a student ID card (tracking or non-tracking) is a reasonable requirement. It's not an 'injustice.' They weren't asking her to get a forehead tattoo.
Additionally, you call me a 'troll,' accuse me of being 'condescending' and 'failing' and not being 'adult,' all while posting AC. So it would seem that you like to be insulting under the cover of anonymity. Don't bother replying to this unless you become 'adult' enough to log in. I won't be reading it.
She EARNED the right ot be in this high performance school through having BEEN a high performing student. The "other school" cannot offer her an equivalent education (notably the maths and science plan).
You would agree that this school has special requirements to get in..?
It would seem that one of these special requirements is to carry this badge.
Unless she plans on flipping burgers she better get use to badges and logins.
You gotta be kidding.
"Burger flipping" jobs have some of the strictest I.D. systems: keyed registers, card swipes every time you go on break, security cameras everywhere - especially pointed at the employee areas, fingerprint attendance, mandatory uniforms and hats and name badges, etc.
I suppose she could do residential pool maintenance.
It's pretty hard to get any job these days without at least giving up your SS#.
It "offends my belief system" to drive sober? It "offends my belief system" to pay my check at a restaurant? How about, it "offends my belief system" to attend school at all? It "offends my belief system" not to carry guns to school?
I believe this is a valuable "teaching moment" for her. Let her attend school without her badge for many years, and be logged as absent. Then watch her try to get into any college without a high school diploma.
Or the people who think a $25 bottle of wine is automatically better than a $5-8 bottle...
or even a $2 bottle! True in the case of Charles Shaw Wines ("2 buck Chuck") which has garnered many awards: Pinot Grigio, California -- Gold Medal/Best of Class Merlot, California -- Silver Medal Pinot Grigio, California -- Gold Medal White Zinfandel, California -- Silver Medal Shiraz, California -- Double Gold Medal/Best of Class...and many other medals in the results of three wine competitions.
If the land weren't occupied at all, I could see there being reasonable and justified claim to a piece of land, but 2000 years is an awfully long time. Having any sort of historical/ancestral claim to land take precedence over an existing population's is putting the cart before the horse.

Agreed. How about if all presenters submitted their papers stripped of any race or gender identifiers. The ones that get picked, present. Regardless of race or gender.

...the public education system does not have grounds for expulsion.
...Nor did they expel her. They just reassigned her to her original school, which does not use the RFID cards.

Shouldn't someone do a "Hitler Rants" subtitled clip for this already?
...One of those permutations will yield LOVE. Another will yield HATE. Which one is the correct message?
Considering this is /. probably: NERD
What you want to fit as a covert wardriving rig is a mini road sweeper.
"Plumbing" van. No one looks twice if you're parked for hours - tons of space for gear in a concealed space in the back.

This stupid stereotype has to go away. Jewish parents are proud of their kids no matter what -- whether they become doctors or lawyers.
You're talking Reform. I was talking Orthodox.
When does the fetus become a baby?
Under the ancient Jewish tradition, the fetus is only considered a human once it graduates medical school.

If she won't carry the badge she can't attend.
...this is trying to stop a terrible injustice.
Ahhhh, yes the "terrible injustice" of having to carry an ID card.
The horror.
The horror.
She'll be well adjusted to work a world that runs on drivers licenses, credit cards, debit cards, library cards, etc.
Ironically, she won't be employable, but she will also be unable to collect welfare without her ID.
Neither is every utility worker who comes to your door but they are required to have visible ID.
...as do police, firefighters, EMTs... etc.

Agree 100%
Where does that "offend your belief system" stop?
It "offends my belief system" to drive sober?
It "offends my belief system" to pay my check at a restaurant?
How about, it "offends my belief system" to attend school at all?
It "offends my belief system" not to carry guns to school?

Er, I don't think anybody thinks that Romney said that. It was Republican Todd Akin.

Wow! They are hot.

I'm sure the palastinians would like to be left alone...
I want to be left alone too.
For some reason, every time I fire 700 rockets into my neighbor's house, they call the cops.
Why won't they just leave me alone?
We're missing the obvious solution here.
Any black females out there? You could be getting paid big money just to show up...
Sadly, this is true.
I have a friend who is a: black, disabled, lesbian, female (obviously). Companies are tripping over each other to hire her.
Just treat everyone fairly, how hard is that?
Agreed.

If they are all white males, so be it...
