Judge rules in favor of NISD in high-tech badge case

Prospective employers who google "Andrea Hernandez" will see a potentially problematic employee. Good luck, Andrea. Your dad did you no favors by pushing this ridiculous fiasco. Were 15 minutes of fame worth it?

Parents you need to take a grip on the discipline of your children. You had fun making them, have fun imposing discipline. You know, like teaching them to follow rules and regulations in a society that functions in such a manner as to protect you and yours. If you can't or won't live that way, then leave and go where you can do as you you and your religion dictates.Like maybe some deserted island.

This just might be the dumbest case I ever heard. Next to the case with the dog who bit a pinky finger. America, what is wrong with you?

Now expel the idiot.

If they had told her is was a free app for her I-Phone probaby would have loaded it in a flash.

I'm confused,I don't understand how wearing this badge infringes on their religous freedom. I don't agree or disagree with the badge,but come on now.Sorry Opeth34, Andrea and her family got their 15 minutes,whereas our troups,the real soldiers and heros put their lives on the line for us everyday

I agree with Andrea Hernandez. It's just another step towards a one world government. Andrea is a soldier not taking attacks laying down. Her fight had nothing to do with money like some have suggested.

I believe this is in violation of our rights...what is this world coming too. We are slowly moving into a communist one world government society and some people better take their blinders off....if you are a true believing bible christian you know that in the Book of Revelations by receiving the mark of the beast you are disobeying God...The Devil is slowly moving in, pretty soon we are ALL going to be forced to wear his mark and be told what to do. You want be able to buy or sell unless you receive this mark. I totally agree with Andrea Hernandez on standing up for her religious beliefs when the school is forcing her to wear this chip id device.

Glad they finally gave this nonsensical lawsuit a rest and maybe gained a semester of american government.

First I don't buy into he religious reason, but the party not giving the full story (and you can blame the local media for that) is the district. The real issue is that NISD created a pilot policy with no way to opt out. These parents should not have had to file a grievance to voice their concern. NISD DOES lie to the public but the media is in their pocket so no one ever knows about it. If NISD was really concerned about the attendance rate at John Jay, they first should have looked at the 1776 suspensions - mostly "discretionary" (www.texasappleseed.net). Every time they suspend a kid, they lose money...and honestly, what good does a suspension do anyway? Teach the kids that don't want to be at school that all they have to do to stop going is break a rule? Weapons and drugs are one thing, but "discretionary" means no drugs or weapons were involved. I'm wondering does the district's government curriculum include the Constitution? For all you that like to quote the Constition when it suits you...check out Tinker v. Des Moines School Dist., 393 U.S. 503 (1969) The Supreme Court ruled "Students do not shed their constitutional rights at the schoolhouse gate."
