# Texas middle and high schools tracking student locations with RFID tags
|
|
|
|
[An article][0] describes how a school district in Texas is attempting to force
|
|
its students to wear RFID tags at all times in order to track their location to
|
|
"stem the rampant truancy devastating the school's funding".

This is deeply concerning. Not only does this raise serious security and privacy
|
|
concerns (as mentioned near the end of the article), but it also costed the
|
|
schools over a half a million dollars to implement. In order words: Texas
|
|
taxpayer money has been wasted in an effort to track our children.
|
|
|
|
Good thing they don't have anything [better to spend that money on.][1]
