ANOTHER WIN:
NO SPYCHIPS FOR CALIFORNIA SCHOOL KIDS!
Hooray! Your
calls and letters added to the heat in Sutter, California,
where the Brittan Elementary school principal and superintendent
had mandated that students be tracked with RFID tags worn
around their necks. Now those kids are spychip-free, thanks
to the efforts of freedom-loving citizens, committed civil
libertarians, and brave kids and parents who just said, "No!"
For the last two weeks, national attention has focused on
a small town, Big-Brother school, and its ill-conceived plan
to track kids through spychipped security badges. Bad publicity,
parent protests, the involvement of civil liberties organizations,
threatened lawsuits, and a torrent of negative phone calls
and email finally caused InCom, the company behind the technology,
to call the whole thing off. Thanks for your help in killing
this awful program!
