Her family views as a religious sacrilege, this country still allows religious freedom. Who pays for these RFID tracker cards, the tax payers or the parents ?

Ok, so the "religious objection" aspect is just dumb, but whatever. The privacy issue is the important thing here. I would object, too.

I wonder whats going to happen to all these idiots when parents start home schooling and using private schools, en mass...

The educational system is in serious jeopardy, the public school system is full of thugs and future criminals.

How so?

Many states don't allow for exemptions based on personal beliefs but they allow tons based on religious ones.

**** religion.

I suppose religion per se isn't all it's cracked up to be. Faith and beliefs are not the same as religion.
