The kid is just being a dick. It's not against their religion.
If they are so worried about the religious aspects, then they should be wary of having it tattooed on their hand or forehead, as it is stated in teh bible. If any ID card is a problem, then they better not have Driver's Licenses or state issued ID cards. They better cut up their credit cards, since they are closer to what is stated in Revelations, being numbers needed for commerce. Likewise, I hope they have all found a way to get rid of their social security numbers.
I guess it is possible that the barcode based on the student's SSN may have a 666 in it, and if that is the case, then they should easily be able to change it, and then no more problem, they can wear the badge.
Well, I did have that job as a unicorn rancher a while ago, and that was pretty awesome. I could do what ever I wanted, whenever I wanted. I mean, half the job was nap time, and then like, the rest was video games. Unicorns practically ranch themselves.
But otherwise, yeah, all other jobs have had places where I do my work, whether it be in my office, my cube, my section of the garage, or whatever. Likewise, I have had schedules. Work starts at this time, this job needs done first, this customer needs assistance.
but you're right, I do long for the days as a unicorn rancher, and may again return to those magical nights...
Really? You never once had an assigned seat in a class? The teachers just let you get up and move around whenever you wanted? Never had to ask for the hall pass? I'm not saying that we were never allowed to pee, just that you had to have a pass to do so.
At school, you have to sit in a specific seat in a specific room, during specific times. You are told when to eat, and have to ask if you can use the bathroom. It's not happy freedom time. They aren't required to wear it outside of school, it's only for use inside the school building.
Every job I've had since graduation in '99 has come with the requirement of an RFID tag either as a key fob or in my ID. I wore it with no question because otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to open any doors.
You can memorize the multiplication tables up to 10*10, but if you don't understand why 10*10=100, you probably won't be able to do 15*34 or any higher numbers.
You can memorize a few words so you can fill out a resume, but unless you know how to read, the you'll never be able to enjoy a good book.

They are required by law to be at A school, not THIS school. There are many other options for schooling.
You are now just getting deleting unneeded files.
There are some things that science should just leave alone.

Because we don't need the information in our DNA that is already present?
In the same way that they always say that the right wing wants to ban stem cell research, leaving off the fetal part.
There are also religious reasons not to be a donor. I don't think those of the Jewish or Muslim faiths can donate.
I thought we could already do that. A woman on Penn and Teller's Bullshit had a cow vein put in her arm to help with dialysis.
