I'd love to see the TV cable bill for this family....I have no doubt they subscribe to HBO, Showtime, Cinemax and other cable channels that show nudity.

I have a social security card, a driver's license, credit cards, bank cards, and not a single one of them contain a RFID. And, just to clarify, the chips imbedded in your pets currently isn't a RFID and contains only the information needed to reunite pets and their owners. Unfortunately, a large number of these owners don't keep this information updated.

i am sure that this isn't just a religious issue. look at the sign in the picture. Religion is the only thing the government is scared of tho. hence the reson to separate church and state.. who would want a government that includes the basic morals and ethics that are taught in religious institutions governing over them.. that's crazy talk~ if it was just a small issue, I'm pretty sure the school wouldn't have asked for it to go to federal court. to me, a corrupted government with insurmountable power over its people and the world seems like an accurate vision of the beast the bible talks about..

These people and their daughter believe "It's the sign of the beast"!!. Then the parents must not have a social security card,drivers license,credit cards, bank cards etc, etc, etc,!! Come people what does reglion have to do with this? If your faith is strong tibits as these don't bother you. If you have no faith in your religion then yes it should bother you. Get a life people or go live in a cave!! out side of sociaty.

I have to wear a ID tag and swipe in and out where I work. I like her to pull this on her future employer. One rebellious student is causing thousands of tax dollars and time in federal court. Good luck in your future.

While I understand not wanting to wear this tag, I DO NOT understand how this could be an infringement of her religious beliefs. I think that is just some stupid BS that daddy made up because if you scream religious beliefs, then MAYBE they will back off. But guess what daddy, public school systems DO NOT CARE about your religious beliefs. They won't even allow prayer in the schools, so put the dang tag on your girl and send her to school to abide by all the rules and policies that all the other kids have to abide by. If you don't like the rules, take her out of public school and pay for a christian education...I DID!

First of all much too much is made of contemporary public education. You go to school, learn, graduate and become a citizen who help improve the society. The rest is just BS for the liberal educators to steal more money from the taxpayer for salaries, administration and useless professional trips!!!

As legal Americans we have no privacy, that's long gone. I don't understand what this has to do with religion. Is this about the freeloaders wanting more things to go their way....My kids have graduated but if they had this program in their schools, we would deal with it and not come up with some lame excuse for my kids not to go to school.
