That's my bigger worry. I'm worried that this fingerprint system is just the 
beginning of implanted chips.

Very true. I'm sitting here thinking that whether I say anything or not, I 
cannot stop it from happening. But at least I can protect my child some way 
or another in the process.

I have seriously considered home schooling them, but I am afraid I am not able 
to give them the quality education that someone with the credentials could. 
And I cannot afford private or christian schools.

This is where I'm confused. I don't know whether to ask them not to include my 
child in this, or consider removing them from the school or just go along 
with it.
