Schools fingerprint children for lunch program

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


So mooch is collecting data on our kids. Why should we be surprised? A little loss of our privacy here, a little less freedom there, and pretty soon we have lost it all. Question, will all of this data of our kids be stored in the great new data center in Utah? Here we go:

NEW ALBANY, Ind. – The grumbling in New Albany cafeterias isn’t coming from students’ stomachs. It’s from parents.

The southern Indiana school district is one of the latest to deploy technology which “biometric identification to match a finger scan with a personal identification number,” WAVEreports.

According to a notification issued by the New Albany Floyd County school system, the technology is used to “eliminate pin numbers, eliminate misused pin numbers, maintain the privacy of students on subsidized food programs and speed up the amount of time in the lunch line.”

“I don’t need the school to store my children’s fingerprints. I don’t like that,” Mt. Tabor Elementary parent Mary Ann Halstead says.

A Pennsylvania school district is scanning students’ thumbprints, tracking all of their lunch purchases, and turning the data over to the federal government.

The Hazleton Area School District recently announced it would be providing free meals to all students, regardless of need.

The move comes after the federal government began incentivizing school districts to provide more meals to more students.

As The Citizens’ Voice reports:

While it would seem that providing all children with lunch would cost districts more, the pilot federal initiative turns that assumption on its ear. The initiative encourages school districts to move toward full participation by providing districts with reimbursements that will in fact absorb the cost of providing lunch to students of all income levels, whether they walk to school — or if a chauffeur drives them.

      Parents should be packing lunches for THEIR children. That’s they way it was when I was in school and when my son was in school. l. It should not be the responsibility of the government to provide lunches for students. The government has overstepped and it’s time to put an end to it. It’s the responsibility of parents to provide THEIR children with the nutrition they need.

      • Big dog.../small fish...

        Keep in mind that those programs apply to underpiivileged children. Children whose parents either cannot give them such a basic as food.

        • Big dog.../small fish...

          because they have no money or because they,re too busy taking care of their own addictions to bother spending one buck on their kids.
