Parents in Polk County, Florida are outraged after learning that students in area schools had their irises scanned as part of a new security program without obtaining proper permission.

Students at three facilities — an elementary school, a grade school and a high school — had their eyeballs scanned earlier this month as part of a ‘student safety’ pilot program being carried out by Stanley Convergent Security Solutions.

Parents at Daniel Jenkins Academy, Bephune Academy and the Davenport School of the Arts received the letter from the school board on May 24 informing them of the EyeSwipe-Nano program and that their child’s principal should be notified if they don’t want their son or daughter to participate.

But elsewhere in the letter, the board explained that the program would begin last Monday, May 20. By the time the letter was received on Friday, iris scans had already been completed at the three area schools without a single student opting out, Angel Clark wrote for The Examiner this week.

Because Memorial Day landed on May 27, parents were unable to receive confirmation from the school until this Tuesday, nearly one week after the scans began.

Looks like they learned from obama and his Chicago politics.....

“Davis told me that ‘it is a mistake on our part’ that a notification letter to parents did not go out on May 17,” she wrote. “He blamed a secretary who had a ‘medical emergency.’”

This parent said it all....

“It seems like they are mostly focused on this program, like the program was the problem. It's not, it's the invasion of my family's Constitutional right to privacy that is the problem, as well as the school allowing a private company access to my child without my consent or permission,” one concerned parent wrote in a Facebook post that has since been shared hundreds of times. “This is stolen information, and we cannot retrieve it.”

Not bad, next comes the DNA swabs to be held on file to use for or against a student later in life.

We can now have students giving piss tests every half year, parents having to prove relationship to the student and piss tests for them yearly.

Say a Question, do the teachers and the School Board need to have all this they put the kids and parents go through mean they also have to take part in this plan ????

What is the purpose of this?  How does an iris test improve anything?

Saw this on Glenn Beck yesterday.
I believe it might have something to do with common core?
Anyways, their excuse for scanning irises was that it is more efficient than a student ID or name tag since the children kept losing those.  

ALSO, this is a way for the libs (I am going to stop calling them that. They are straight up communists.) to put a thumb on Private schools and home schoolers.
Expect in the near future that If your child doesn't get iris scans in grade school or if your child is not taught a common core aligned curriculum then said child will not be able to go to college. They will thus be second class citizens. Opposition to Common Core is growing, educators in NYC are even voicing concerns.

The scan is simpler then tattooing a bar code on the back of their neck.

College is so over rated a large percent cannot find work in the field they majored in.

I have a cheap lawyer she charges $100.00 ph.    The guy that came to hook up the water to my icemaker in the fridge charged me $135.00 ph.

The man that delivers my propane gets $65.00 ph.

I've called them communists for years.
