A federal judge in Texas has issued a ruling that a student’s
religious objections to wearing a badge from a school ID program that
utilizes radio chips to identify students and faculty and monitor their
movements are secular, and therefore, not a concern to the school or
court.
“Plaintiff’s objection to wearing the Smart ID badge without a chip is clearly a secular choice, rather than a religious choice,” wrote U.S. District Judge Orlando Garcia in a case brought by the Rutherford Institute on behalf of student Andrea Hernandez, who has been attending John Jay High School in the Northside Independent School District in San Antonio.
