Are parents with kids dealing with the "new" parent/guest ID requirements in schools where they ask for your drivers license, put it into a system to check if you are dangerous or trouble for the school?
Imagine for example the implications of parents who are divorced who hate each others guts, file restraining orders against each other (it's been in the news so it has happened). How is the school going to deal with that? I mean what if one parent or family memeber has been hospitalized, institutionalized for various reasons and they decide the child isn't safe fwith them? Who are they to decide what is safe and how safe is the info in the system? How do we as parents know what the state or govt. is doing at any given time? What if they don't allow any parents to take thier kids and have a lock down for a multitude of reasons outside immediate danger? How much control are they taking away from us as parents?
There is nothing like walking down a hallway of your students school and seeing police officers there to what, "police" them or keep them from harm? Since when is police officers walking down the hallways normal or natural for our kids to see? What is this saying to all of us and what are the implications if we don't question how a school can decide what's safe for our kids "without" asking us.
Where has our privacy gone and how many more ID's are going to be required to do anything in life..........? Who knows maybe we will need an ID to go to the bathroom!
