Pedophile fears as student profiles, pictures go on net
[Quote:]
PARENTS are outraged at a State Government plan to post the profile of every state school student on its intranet, sparking fears pedophiles could find it.
The intranet database, dubbed OneSchool, will profile each of the state’s 480,000 public school students enrolled from Prep to Year 12.
Photographs, personal details, career aspirations, off-campus activities and student performance records are being collected from all 1251 state schools.
Let *all* of the kids enter “political assassin” as a “career aspiration”, and you can fight terrorism at the same time!
But Education Minister Rod Welford has warned the state-wide rollout of the OneSchool database is “non-negotiable” and students could be refused an education if they don’t divulge required information.
Except, the law says the government MUST provide an education…
couriermail.com.au reader Sari, of Brisbane, suggested personal information of our politicians, their wives and children should be posted first.
“Then we’ll see how safe it is before adding school children.”
Sandra of Brisbane said Mr Welford could not stop her children from attending school if she refused to allow them to be part of the database “because by law the government has to provide my children with an education”.
Maybe they should start reading history a bit:

Of the 140,000 Jews that had lived in the Netherlands prior to 1940, only 30,000 survived the war. This high death toll had a number of reasons. One was the excellent state of Dutch civil records: the Dutch state, prior to the war, had recorded substantial information on every Dutch national. This allowed the Nazi regime to easily determine who was Jewish (whether fully or partly of Jewish ancestry) simply by accessing the data.
Ok, now explain me please, why do they want to post these data in first place? What is the reason? Helping identity thieves? (what was your first teacher’s name Mister? Oh, it was Miss XXX. And what was your hobby in 5th grade? Stamp collecting. I know weird, huh? )
