The latest front in the fight over electronic privacy doesn’t involve sex offenders, terrorism, or insider trading. In one California community, the battleground is preschool.
The conflict surrounds a one-year pilot program at the George Miller III Head Start center in Richmond, a suburb of San Francisco.
Funded by a $50,000 grant under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, the program would, according to a San Jose Mercury News story here, outfit 200 preschoolers with shirts tagged with electronic locator devices, so teachers can monitor their whereabouts and, apparently, what they eat.
