California Schoolchildren Forced to Wear Radio Tags; Invisible Fence To Be Installed Monday
Parents and civil libertarians in Sutter, California, are in an uproar over the school's decision to make children wear radio identifying tags at all times to track their attendance and, potentially, movement. Principal Earnie Graham says "Wait until they hear about the invisible fence. Whoa doggy they are going to be pissed."
In effort to 'Trump Truancy', as displayed on the Donald Trump Anti-Truancy poster in Graham's office, the invisible fence will be activated at precisely 8:45 each morning, effectively trapping all students on school grounds. Normally reserved for canine use, anyone trying to exit the property receives a non-lethal electric shock which will incapacitate the offender.
Whether this shock is harmful to children Graham mused, "Prohibitive. That's a good word for it. They'll think twice next time."
Ironically, any student late to school cannot safely enter, thus proving the fence is more likely to increase truancy. To this Principal Graham quipped: "Well the non-refundable deposit is on my credit card. If I pull the plug now the school board might not reimburse me, and I need that money. I'm trying to buy a boat."
