Fingerprinting schoolkids for fun and profit
The state of Ohio may not be able to afford to educate its young people, but apparently it can afford $700,000 to create a system to scan their fingerprints while they stand in lunch lines. (Link via TalkLeft.)
Why bother with after-school programs when you can satisfy our national urge to create a police state instead?
I wonder if this applies to kids who bring their own lunches from home? I wonder if students will be allowed to opt-out?
[Aside: Your humble blogger once lived in Ohio, but please do not confuse him with an Ohioan. He would never spend $700K on such foolishness.]
