David Kravets has an article on Threat Level about tagging school kids. It doesn’t really report anything new that I haven’t covered on this blog before, but if you’re new to the issue, it can quickly bring you up to speed on an issue near and dear to my heart.
We really need a study of the psychological impact of being chipped/tagged throughout the school day. Does it erode privacy expectations and are schools going to be turning out youth who are less likely to be assertive on their rights and sense of autonomy?
