Child Abuse

[threaded]

Apparently Hungerhill School in Edenthorpe is going to trial putting RFID chips in students' uniforms to track ten of them.

Being from Doncaster and knowing people from Edenthorpe I guess something needs to be done, but this is absolutely disgusting.

Children are little humans, and deserve to be treated like humans. They're not animals, not even those from Edenthorpe.

They may have been approached by Islamic Fundamentalists and enrolled in a 'bomb London' campaign, so can't see anything wrong with this personally. However, surely this fails if they take their uniform off in the school bogs, get changed into something else and then bunk off school?

First they came for the children, and I did not speak out, for I was not a child ...

Agreed, once it's acceptable to tag the little darlings its a small step to employers insisting that all employees where a special little badge (failure to do so will result in a formal written warning)

That's very profound - is it a quote?

Yeah it is, I recognise it but can't quite place it.

holocaust quote?

[snaw]

Yep.

First they came for the Communists but I was not a Communist so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Socialists and the Trade Unionists but I was not one of them, so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Jews but I was not Jewish so I did not speak out. And when they came for me, there was no one left to speak out for me.

holocaust quote?

You're quite right:

"First they came…" is a poem attributed to Pastor Martin Niemöller (1892–1984) about the inactivity of German intellectuals following the Nazi rise to power and the purging of their chosen targets, group after group.

Linky.

They do that already. We have a security badge which you need to have to access certain areas of the building because you have to pass through turnstiles which are only activated when your security badge is swiped through them
