RFID Tracking of Children in Richmond Schools
The George Miller Children's School in Richmond, California, has implemented an RFID tracking system where children wear jerseys embedded with sensors. While officials claim the system saves "man-hours" on attendance and improves safety, the hosts condemn it as an "inventory system" for children. They express outrage that the technology, funded by a federal grant, treats students like trackable assets.
