| Subject: Fascist OZschwitz: School forced to halt fingerprint roll call Thu Apr 03, 2008 6:54 pm | |
| AT LEAST six public high schools in NSW conduct "roll call" by scanning student fingerprints, but the Department of Education yesterday suspended the project at Ku-ring-gai High School as it investigates complaints that parents were not properly consulted.
Brad Lorge, a year 10 student at Ku-ring-gai High, told the Herald that without any warning he was pulled out of class with three other students who were asked to have their fingers scanned for a six-month trial of the new system.
He said he did not want to take part in the trial, a Parents and Citizens group initiative that was due to start at the end of the month, because of concerns for his privacy.
