A U.S. District Judge upheld a Texas school district’s rule requiring students to wear locator chips on Tuesday, Reuters reported.
Judge Orlando Garcia overturned an injunction won by John Jay High School sophomore Andrea Hernandez requiring the school to let her continue her studies without wearing the tag. The Northside Independent School District mandated students wear the chips as part of a policy tracking attendance via radio frequency identification, or RFID, technology.
Hernandez and her family objected to wearing the chip on religious grounds, saying they bore “the mark of the beast,” as described in Christian prophecy.
Raw Story (s.tt...)
Plaintiff shall give written notice to the District prior to the end of the current semester stating whether she intends to accept the accommodation being offered and wear the Smart ID badge without a chip. If Plaintiff refuses to wear the uniform badge issued to all students at Jay High School, even without a chip, the District may exercise its discretion and transfer Plaintiff back to her home campus, where she can wear her old student ID badge.
For these reasons, Plaintiff has failed to meet all requirements for a preliminary injunction. An injunction is an extraordinary remedy, which is not warranted herein. Plaintiff's Motion for Pre]iniinary Injunction (Dkt. 19) is DENIED. Plaintiff shall give written notice to the District prior to the end of the current semester stating whether she intends to accept the accommodation being offered and wear the Smart ID badge without a chip. If Plaintiff refuses to wear the uniform badge issued to all students at Jay High School, even without a chip, the District may exercise its discretion and transfer Plaintiff back to her home campus,
where she can wear her old student ID badge.

No way in heck would I allow my children to wear an RFID chip. Think not!
I'd take that ID and shove it where the sun doesn't shine. They can track that.
