You mention 'cost saving practicalities' several times in your comment, however you haven't mentioned any. I'd be interested to hear them.

- no_fans_please 14y agoI think you've missed the point of my commentary, if you think that's key here. Neither you nor I have access to that information; the school board, teachers, government workers, and parent representatives do, and they made a combined choice to implement this. They could be wrong (and they have been before, of course) - but this family isn't arguing that. They are arguing on religious and privacy grounds. Reductio in absurdum: take the "I won't do it because it's the mark of the beast" to it's next level (hacker news comments, library membership, news articles, theaters), and you have a dysfunctional society.
