Rotten to the Core: The Feds’ Invasive Student Tracking Database
Townhall – Michelle Malkin –
3/8/2013
Say goodbye to your
children's privacy. Say hello to an unprecedented nationwide student tracking
system, whose data will apparently be sold by government officials to the
highest bidders. It's yet another encroachment of centralized education
bureaucrats on local control and parental rights under the banner of
"Common Core."
The National Education Data
Model, available online at http://nces.sifinfo.org/datamodel/eiebrowser/techview.aspx?instance=studentElementarySecondary
, lists hundreds of data points considered indispensable to the nationalized
student tracking racket. These include:
--"Bus Stop Arrival
Time" and "Bus Stop Description."
--"Dwelling
arrangement."
--"Diseases, Illnesses
and Other Health Conditions."
--"Religious
Affiliation."
--"Telephone Number
Type" and "Telephone Status."
Home-schoolers and religious
families that reject traditional government education would be tracked.
Original NEDM data points included hair color, eye color, weight, blood types
and even dental status.
How exactly does amassing
and selling such personal data improve educational outcomes? It doesn't. This,
at its core, is the central fraud of Washington
Fed Ed is not about
excellence or academic achievement. It's about control, control and more
control.
