Texas Schoolkids Tagged With GPS Tracking Devices

A judge has ordered 22 students at Bryan Highschool in Texas to carry GPS tracking devices in the name of preventing truancy, another example of how schools are now youth internment centers – preparatory camps for brainwashing kids to accept the prison planet.
"Bryan High students who skip school will soon be tracked 24 hours a day, seven days a week," reports KBTX.
"It's called the Attendance Improvement Management Program or AIM, and it has been used across Texas and the United States."
Students who skip class are now forced to attend "truancy court" and be lectured by a judge before being mandated to carry a GPS tracking device.
"Students on the program are tracked with a hand-held GPS device between the time they leave for school in the morning and the time they check in for curfew at night."
Watch the clip below.
Not only are children being treated as criminals if they skip class, parents too are being targeted if they turn up late to collect their kids. A story we broke back in 2006 highlighted how a junior high school in Indiana threatens parents with police and child protective service involvement if they fail to pick up their child on time after mandatory Friday classes for missed homework.
The school stated that if parents didn't arrive at the agreed time to pick up their child, "arrangements have been made with the Tell City Police Department to have them housed at the police station.
The letter then states that intervention by the police will also necessitate involvement of the Perry County Office of Family and Children. In other words – get stuck in a traffic jam and you could get your kids snatched by the state and fed into the pedophile-infested government "care" system.
American public schools are being transformed into prison training camps set up to breed continuous generations of obedient slaves.
Schools across the country are routinely invaded by armed goons conducting "drills" whereby students are shouted at and have guns pointed at them. School lockdowns have also become a routine part of student life as kids are conditioned into thinking that they are constantly in danger and need to be protected at all times by the state.
Having armed men terrorize children is by design and it is intended to normalize the police state and train students to accept it as a routine function of society when they leave school.
Drug raids such as the one conducted in Goose Creek South Carolina, where armed police raided a high school with weapons drawn supposedly in search of drugs, are also routine. Shouting officers aimed guns at students heads as they were ordered face-up against the wall, then into Guantanamo style squats as they were handcuffed and K9 dogs sniffed their backpacks.
No drugs were found and the Goose Creek Police Department, the city, as well as the Berkeley County School District had to pay $1.6 million for violating the rights of nearly 150 students caught in the raid. The three had to sign a consent decree barring similar activities in future but it included a waver where probable cause or voluntary consent could be cited to conduct further raids.
Footage from other school raid drills where police in riot gear point MP5's at students is included in the clip below, taken from Alex Jones' 9/11: The Road To Tyranny. FBI storm troopers in black uniforms and helmets scream and cuss at children in one instance before loading them on buses and taking them to a local jail. In Fort Worth Texas, the cop of the year was shot in the head by one of his own officers in another school drill.
Also highlighted is the Heartland Christian Academy school siege where CPS and police kidnapped hundreds of children without a warrant. Watch in horror as children filled with terror are forcibly dragged from their screaming mothers and loaded onto prison buses.
A federal judge later barred CPS from removing children from the school in future but vaguely defined provisions remained in place where it could be justified.
Over the last two decades, schools have been molded into youth internment centers, indoctrinating all children to accept the presence of surveillance cameras, biometric scanning to access buildings and buy food, ID tracking cards and men in uniforms pointing guns at them as normal.
From the very foundation of the public school system the elite made their plans clear. The goal was to psychologically mould people to create mindless drones and bricks in the wall of the system, via learning monotonously by rote and the day being divided up by pavlovian bells.
In his 1905 dissertation for Columbia Teachers College, Elwood Cubberly—the future Dean of Education at Stanford—wrote that schools should be factories "in which raw products, children, are to be shaped and formed into finished products...manufactured like nails, and the specifications for manufacturing will come from government and industry."
Similarly, the Rockefeller Education Board—which funded the creation of numerous public schools—issued a statement which read in part:
"In our dreams...people yield themselves with perfect docility to our molding hands. The present educational conventions [intellectual and character education] fade from our minds, and unhampered by tradition we work our own good will upon a grateful and responsive folk. We shall not try to make these people or any of their children into philosophers or men of learning or men of science. We have not to raise up from among them authors, educators, poets or men of letters. We shall not search for embryo great artists, painters, musicians, nor lawyers, doctors, preachers, politicians, statesmen, of whom we have ample supply. The task we set before ourselves is very simple...we will organize children...and teach them to do in a perfect way the things their fathers and mothers are doing in an imperfect way."
These are the founders of the public education system in America. The agenda from the very start was to eliminate all forms of objective thought and use education to produce automatons of the state who would shrink from embracing higher forms of intellectual pursuit and truly understanding their role and potential to advance freedom in human society.
When this insipid abuse of the power that the architects hold to shape minds of the future is homogenized with the jackboot thuggery of the surveillance cameras and security minions that stalk the hallways and corridors – the result is a pack of trained rats, subdued and conditioned to follow the every command of their masters from cradle to grave.
In September 2004, the Muskegon Chronicle reported on a drill that revolved around a mock terrorist attack on a Michigan school bus. The terrorist group were labeled, "Wackos Against Schools and Education who believe everyone should be homeschooled."
The mock attack was funded by a Homeland Security grant and required the participation of students to act bloody and injured, also involving hospitals, morgues and mannequins painted up to look like dead children, as parents were ordered to dash to emergency rooms frantic in the belief that their child had perished.
The Muskegon Area Intermediate School District later had to apologize for characterizing homeschoolers as terrorists after hundreds of complaints poured in.
Stereotypes consistently propped-up by the media demonize homeschoolers as hicks, retards and extremists, despite the fact the local and national spelling bees are routinely won by homeschooled children.
The ceaseless attack on homeschooling is an attempt to neutralize any alternatives parents have to placing their children in the state run re-education gulags known as the "public school system."
In April 2005 a 5-year-old Florida girl was manhandled and handcuffed by police after she had a tantrum. Cases of zealous clampdowns by the authorities in schools are rife and pretext for the imposition of draconian measures of surveillance and armed security thugs is provided by regular school shootings across the country.
In almost every case the shooter is hopped up on a combination of the Ritalin-style substances that have become prevalent in America as our children are force-drugged with dangerous toxic trash, not to mention the increasing amount of mandatory vaccinations, and turned into mumbling nervous wrecks – all the natural zest and innocence of childhood cruelly raped from them by the state.
One in seven children are on Ritalin and other dangerous psychotropic drugs which make them swing between drooling in the corner at one point and then acting wildly the next. These numbers are only increasing. Children are put on these drugs in the first place for the most inane and insane reasons, such as raising their hand to answer questions in class too often.
In other cases, like Columbine, the shootings are deliberately aided by the state apparatus to manipulate popular opinion and pass gun control legislation as well as increase the chorus for more school lock-downs and restrictive and oppressive control measures.
We will continue to see armed men terrorize our children, aim guns at their head and indoctrinate them to accept living under tyranny unless parents and teacher organizations band together to file huge lawsuits against those responsible and we vehemently denounce the insidious Sovietization of the public school system.
<yawn> Same song...97th verse. Got anything else? ::)
Varmit,so it's Ok for the parent or whoever is to pick up the child to be so late, without calling the school, that the teacher or who ever has the kids at the end of the day, can't leave and so they become late to pick up their own kids? The problems are with chronic offenders, not the person who had the flat tire. Would you leave your kids stuck at school for 2 extra hours or would you make emergency arrangements?

I could ask you the same thing. Of course, given your reply I doubt you gave any thought to the article.

No, Diane its not ok. But I don't think turning the kids over to the police dept. is the answer either. And as far as this only happening to "chronic offenders", you know this how??
Also, arrangements can't always be made. Not everyone has a cell phone. I have been broke down around here before. It took me about 1 1/2 to get back to town, I don't have a cell phone and no one stopped. Although I did get passed about ten different times.
But really that is small potatoes of the article. The GPS, drug raids, and "drills" being conducted are more important in my book.
Been there, had them, the chronic offenders I mean. If a person had planned to pick up a child and didn't show, after a reasonable period of time they go to the office and are given into the custody of the principal. From there it's the principals choice what to do. In cases I know of where the police were called in ,it wasn't for punishment, but to give the child a safe place to stay (at the police station.) The police aren't considered enemies here.
Yes, I know not everyone has a cell phone, I'm one of them. We have one we share and Al usually has it. Many of our schools have after school programs for kids whose parent's work schedule just doesn't allow them to be at home when the kids get home, and they don't want their kids to be home alone. I'm sure Angie has her own answers for similar problems. we 've had cases when the parent whose turn it was to pick the kids up, just "forgot"and never did go. When the other parent came home it was panic time because they knew the school would have closed long before. What would your solution be?
Perhaps working with the parents to find a sitter or arrange for the child to go home with a friend...etc. But i don't think the police need be involved.
But that's assuming arrangements could be made ahead of time! People often do just that. If school closes early, kids go to a neighbor or some such. But if someone was supposed to pick up the child at school, then the child obviously didn't get on the bus! If the parents have left an emergency contact, they are called. If not, then the principle has to decide what to do with the child.
To me it's all about taking power away from parents and putting that power in the hands of the powers that be and parents are just as much to blame for laying there and taking it.
The parents should have the power to just leave the child at school? A place some here didn't want them to go to in the first place? What am I missing here? What is the answer? A child isn't picked up as planned, what should happen? I take the child home for dinner? I wouldn't mind, but the parents might freak out if I happened to live an hour from where I worked. ;D
Diane, isn't that emergency contact numbers are for? Maybe the school should ask for a contact other than the parents in case the parents can't be reached?
Sarah, I agree to a point. But the parents can't really do much about police and other organizations that abuse their power. Whats a parent to do when police conduct a "drug raid" and start points their guns in the childrens face? Frankly, I know what my response woud be if I was there or found out about it. However, I would say that alot of parents aren't willing to do that.
Yes.of course. I brought up emergency numbers some posts back. My problem, as usual, is with the generalization that just because one school does something wacky, every school must be doing it. Weird stuff happens every day somewhere. All my adult life I've personally tried to be prepared for the "what ifs." Every school I ever worked for had policy books on what we were expected to do in every situation we could think of. Some, indeed, did involve calling the police, but they weren't at the top of the list for most things.

Take their children's education back upon themselves and be responsible for it. That's what I would do if there were police marching in and holding kids at gun point. Although, this isn't new. I've seen a lot of stories like that one over the years.
On the other hand, I wouldn't send my kids to a school with that kind of reputation in the first place. :P

Parents need to wake up and be responsible for their own children. I heard a story once about children that were released from juvenile hall and no one would show up to get them and they'd end up another month because no one cares enough to show up or remember them. I'm not saying this about parents picking their kids up from school, that's just the story it reminds me of. As far as picking kids up on time, emergencies do come up and I agree, it seems to me the school should have back up emergency numbers. A parent could be in a horrible car accident and taken to the hospital in a coma and the last thing the child needs is to be traumatized being carried away by the police to the police station.
You know, when I was growing up, teachers were always there after school for at least a couple of hours anyway, either grading or preparing from something else. Even after I was married, the grade school that we lived by, there were always teachers there till 6:00 in the evening sometimes. But then the flip side of that is parents need to be responsible for the children they produced and leave an hour early if that's what it takes to make it to their children's school on time. Being late to pick your kids up because you know someone's going to be there is irresponsible.
Thank you Sarah! Teachers are still often at school for a while after class depending on their own family circumstances. Teachers taking night classes have to leave to be at class that evening by 7:00. As I said before, with a few exceptions, our kids here do not see the police as someone who will drag them away.They visit the police station as well as the firehouse in preschool. The Safety Town Day Camp has a police officer assigned to it every day to teach safe street crossing,etc. The kids do learn that if they misbehave or break the law the police will intervene if necessary. Parents tell their kids here that as long as they behave the police are their friends and will help them if they need it. Same goes for when we teach 9-1-1. Terrible car accidents do happen and we do have arrangements for that .Work numbers for both parents, (if there are two,) grandparents if they are around, a neighbor or other person who might be on the family's list. The parent in a coma? The nurses check the wallet for ID, photos, ICE numbers in the cell phone etc. Witnesses at the accident who might know the person.There are lots of ways. Varmit just didn't know. Child and family services sometimes gets involved, but that's possibly scary because the kids don't know much about that. Ask most any teacher or principal and I'm sure they would be happy to tell how it works there.

I know they check all that, I'm just saying if the parent was headed to pick up the child and were due there in 15 minutes, had a wreck, is unconscience, it could take awhile for the police to show up and the ambulance to show up and then like me, I don't keep any numbers on me, so it would take awhile for them to track down anyone to call.
I remember once when I was little, before they had cell phones, my mom had a wreck on the way to get me and the car was totalled and I remember how scared I was when I realized she wasn't there. A teacher stayed with me until my dad came, but I was there for probably 35 minutes or so. I would have been really scared if a police man came to get me because in my mind, I would have been scared that my parents wouldn't know where to find me. Little children have irrational fears.
I kind of wonder if this was some isolated incident where they were having trouble with the same parents. At any rate, I know sometimes things come up, but generally speaking, it's not the teachers job to babysit after school. I guess parents need to arrange and talk to their kids about what to do IF they don't show up. Maybe go to a friends house or ride home with them or something. Shoot, most kids have their own cell phones these days......LOL......they could just call someone. I knew someone whose 8 year old had a cell phone for emergencies.
Ok, now I am going to scold you...not really. ;) Would you please put some emergency numbers on yourself somewhere? Even just a card in your pocket would help. As far as turning a child over to any officer at school, not common, but if necessary, the officer is introduced to the child/children and an explanation would be given to the child. If possible a teacher would go to the police station also to keep the child company. Of course, usually this is all happening at school and the principal or designee waits there until the situation is resolved.
Well, for the benefit of all you civilians who aren't educators, let me let you in on a little secret...Yes, there are emergency numbers that are given to the school. When you go to call those numbers because NOW it is an emergency...The number has been disconnected and no one informed the school of this development...Or they've moved and no one has given any new number to the school...Or there's been a case of domestic abuse and the family is split up, gone to the four winds and no one knows quite where anyone is...Or the emergency number is for a neighbor who is now on the outs with the family involved and refuses to come get the child because "it's not their job"....Or the emergency number is for a grandparent who says that their (bad word, bad word, MOTHER OF ALL BAD WORDS) child can now start being responsible and they'll be hanged if they'll come pick up the child...Or the grandparents don't have a working car now and can't come pick up the kid, can you hold onto the kid until the parent can come pick them up? Oh, by the way...They get off work at 7 P.M....You wouldn't mind, would you?
Get real, people. High horse attitudes about what SHOULD be done have all the chance of a snowball in hell of making a difference when it comes to the real world that the rest of us have to live in.
Thanks Cat.

And we allow people like this to reproduce for what reason???? :P
I realize there are some messed up families out there. Makes me wonder why any child ever turns out normal.

Diane I can remember doing those things when I was in school. And it used to be that the police were your friend. However, I can't really call them that anymore, not because of personal experience but because of the actions of law enforcement within the last few years. Take the incident at Goose Creek High School for example. What kind of "friend" points a gun in your face when you have not done anything wrong? What kind of friend would use a taser on a person having a siezure? I could go on and on with the examples.
The fact that our children are being indoctrinated into this "trust the authorities not your parents" way of thinking is what gets me mad. Should parents pick up their children on time, yes without a doubt. However, sometimes things happen that are out of our control. In the case of cronic offenders then other arragements need to be made without involving the cops unless there is a crime being broken. Think of it this way...teachers don't like staying late or whatever to deal with late parents, do you think the cops do?
Cat, as far as emegerency numbers being outdated thats a pretty easy fix. For example, when I was in the Army we had to provide a number where we could be reached "after hours", every so often our platoon leader would call that number to make sure it was still valid. The schools should do the same, that way they can verify the number and ensure that the person listed is still available. Should the parents notify the school of changes?..yes they should. But the school should still verify it thus making the system as fail safe as possible.
Varmit. The police just change shifts unless they are held over for some reason. :D
This is turning into a tempest in a teapot. I'm sure there are occasional problems on both sides, but not often. That's why it's news! Varmit, I think you should volunteer to come to our school and call all 600 or more ICE numbers to verify that they are still correct. ;D As far as kids being told by the schools to trust the authorities and not their parents....????? I just can't agree with that. In individual problem situations where there are at risk kids, maybe. Kids need a safe harbor somewhere. But the general population? Sorry, I don't believe it. One should not take the very real and terrible problems in some of the hard core low class areas of big cities and by extension, apply them to every middle class town or community in our country. I'm sure if you try, you could find an example every day of some stupid thing happening. But given the number of kids, the number of schools, the number of police and the number of people in general, the % is still very low. It is true that we seem to be a more violent country than we were many years ago. But have we changed or has our ability to know about every incident the moment it happens changed? I wonder.

There is a woman that I talk to out here on occasion whose kids go to a neighboring school that told me that her son came home one day and said that the teacher told them that they weren't to listen to their parents on whatever subject she was teaching. That they were to listen to their teacher. Now, I don't know the teachers side of that story. Perhaps she had a child who was disrupting the class and disagreeing with something their parents said and that's why she said it, but whatever the reason, it seemed to make an impact on the whole class and I've talked to other parents who have run into the same problem. I suppose part of it could be that the teacher has to set themselves up as an authority figure to maintain control, but it's still not something I agree with.
I went to private schools all my life, to which I am extremely thankful to my parents as I never faced the things that public school kids face and I know for a fact some of the things they did face as I had a lot of friends in public school. I don't know if the danger came as much from teachers though, as their own peers. Nowadays though, if some of the stories are true, kids seem to face danger from both sides, those in authority and their own peers.
I agree, I'd have to hear what the teacher really said and the context of it, but I hope it's not true as a general statement. If the teacher wanted the kids to solve a math problem in a particular way because it was leading up to another step, maybe. But as a general statement I would strongly disagree, but I'd be skeptical too. ( I knew a kid many years ago who swore he kept a live penguin as a pet in his basement.) Since the incident is local I'd love to know if the parents followed up on it; they should! I cancould think of about a dozen ways something the teacher said was misunderstood, but if it had happened in my own class I'd want to know so I could fix it! I used to say "My classroom, my rules" but it was hardly controversial nor did it criticize parents. I did have one incident about 1968 when one little girl came in telling me her mother said I'd have to change the seating arrangement in the class so she wasn't sitting next to XX because the mothers were mad at each other. The kids weren't involved. I declined to follow my "orders." I told the child the parents didn't have anything to do with the seating, I did.
I agree. I don't doubt there's some stuff that goes on out there, but we do have to be fair and know the teachers side of stories too. I hear a lot of things and always wonder what the other side is.
Diane, did the parents call you about the seating?
Nope, sent a "message" by way of the one girl.
I ran across this recently and, although it isn't quite what the original subject was, it includes children having to be occasionally placed with police for lack of knowing what else to do to do with them.
A woman had taken 6 or 7 kids with her to a big mall. Only two of them were hers. A couple of them were pretty little. After a time she shoplifts an item but was seen. They all wander out the door with security shadowing her. When she was told to stop, she ran to her car and took off, leaving the kids standing there. Eventually the police were called to take the kids to the police station to sort them all out and start trying to get hold of the other parents to come pick up their kids. She was later arrested.
