‘Mark of the Beast’?: Elementary School Mulling Plan to Scan Kids’ Palms in the Lunch Line

Parents of students at a Lake Charles, La. elementary school are upset over new technology that officials hope to use in the lunch room, believing it would expedite payment in the cafeteria line giving students more time to eat.

KPLC TV reported last week that Moss Bluff Elementary School officials sent a letter home to parents explaining a new system that would scan students’ palms, which in turn would identify the student and the subsequent individual payment plan (thus speeding up the line).

Moss Bluff Elementary School Parents Express Opposition to Palm Scanning Technology for School Lunch Payment Program

“With an elementary school, they all come through line, and most of them eat here. It would make us more efficient and more accurate,” Principal of the nearly 1,000-student school Charles Caldarera said to KPLC TV. “We’ve had parents complain in the past, because they felt like their children weren’t eating, that we assigned them a charge for the day, and they might have been right.”

But parents of some students have expressed opposition to using palm scanners to identify students for payment. KPLC TV reports more on one parent’s thoughts:

“I was very, very mad,” said parent Mamie Sonnier. “Disappointed.”

[...]

Sonnier says she’s against the palm vein scanner because of her beliefs.

“As a Christian, I’ve read the Bible, you know go to church and stuff,” said Sonnier. “I know where it’s going to end up coming to, the mark of the beast. I’m not going to let my kids have that.”

Caldarera says a lot of parents agree with her, but he says it’s just technology.

“I think a lot of this has to do with religious beliefs,” said Caldarera. “I think some people feel it’s something with the Bible, mark of the beast. It’s technology that is used throughout our lives. Everywhere.”

Watch the full report:

The system isn’t officially in place yet, but KPLC TV reports Caldarera saying he hopes the program would be started as soon as possible. KPLC TV reports parents not wanting their children to participate were encouraged to contact the school.

This Louisiana school is not the first to use scanning technology in the lunch line. Earlier this year, a Florida County school district was considering the scanners and an Omaha school has been using thumb scanners for several years now.

    All the parents have to do is send their kids to school with their lunch. Let the school know that until they stop scanning their kids palms they will not buy school lunches. Once the school loses the money on the food the scanning will stop. It will probably only take a day or two. Stand up for your beliefs with peaceful actions.

      Whaaat?

      Did you think the mark would come all on one day thus scarying the living daylights out of you? Nope! Its coming at us in dribs and drabs all around the US. Our HOA club house put biometric finger scanner up 6 years ago and its still in use today. The trouble is as these things grow, we become accustomed to them, the next think you know is that you won’t be able to participate in the worldwide econ without handscanning and or getting chipped. Its not on the horizon, its here and its been here in several forms. We are headed towards the cashless society, a system of credits in your bank account will allow you to make purchases. There will be no such thing as legal tender for backroom sales, that will be a thing of the past, the government will want to know what you purchased, when, where and how much with a picture to back it up. I doubt we have much time to implement a worldwide currency for people to deal with, its more like they want to simply skip this step altogether in lieu of this hand scanning.

      Biometrics. There is not a need for some chip implant, or a tattoo stamped on your forehead. You’re own body is all the ID the govt (the beast) needs. The beast takes a foot print of your feet when you are born. The beast requires a thumbprint from you if you want to drive. The beast now takes a DNA sample from you, if you have ever been charged with a felony. I believe one day, in the not too distant future, the beast will mandate that a thumbprint and DNA sample be taken from every single person in America.

      Subsequently, if you want to work, drive, own a home, own property, or otherwise engage in any kind of economic activity you will have to relinquish your “mark” to the beast. I have already had to relinquish my thumbprint (my mark) to the beast so that I can drive (legally) here in Texas. Oh, and I‘m sure I’m not the only one.

      This is just the beginning.

      Identification is identification is Identification. Whether is facial recognition software or you using your eyeball. It is identification whether is is a finger print, palm print, signature or recognizing someone’s face.

      Someone mentioned swiping cards. That is a lot cleaner than everyone touching a scanner. You know someone is not going to wash their hands (1/2 or 2/3rds of the people). Just think of the scanner as a disease vector.

      After some many people touching the scanner it will have a film of human body oil. It will feel oily.

      Locker rooms are already spreading disease I guess they want cafeterias to do so as well.

      Lastly, why do we need bricks & motor schools? Everyone has a computer. Have kids contact their teacher online. Home school. Play with neighborhood kids.

      CHIEFGEORGE and MATAMOROS…
      Everyone‘s biometric identity is set from their DNA which is God’s design. Scanning a palm vain or finger prints is not accepting the mark of the Beast. It’s just utilizing something you are born with. To be sure, this type of scanning will be a health issue when kids don’t concern themselves with proper hygiene, but it’s not the mark of the Beast. A card scanner would be more hygienic, and yes, I would say that this develops a “mind set” to more readily accept the mark in the future. That said, the mark will be a chip that must be given and voluntarily accepted.
      Oh… and one more thing MATAMOROS. The Beast is an actual entity, the Anti-Christ, not a governmental system. That’s just a worldly tool He will use to subjugate the Children of God.

      Credit cards are tools.They are objects. They are no different than a letter of credit.

      If you accepted a credit card form an organization that had a bad philosophy, policies & objectives, then that could qualify.

      All a credit card is is a portable ledge book. It says how much you have saved up or how much you are willing or able to borrow. Borrowing with in limits is not evil. Giving a person or group of people (bank) money for safe keeping is not evil. Paying them for their efforts in safe keeping your money is not evil. Creating tokens (cards, letter of credit, bills) that show how much you have in a bank is not evil. It is evil to live off someone else’s sweat when you are able bodied.

      Agreed. Money isn’t evil, it’s the love of money that is the root of all evil.

      http://kingjbible.com/1_timothy/6.htm
      For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

      That said, using biometrics as a form of electronic payment verification is one of the worst ideas ever thought up. Anything that has ever had a financial worth or value attached to it has been stolen. Sorry, I don‘t want any part of my body whether it’s my thumb, hand, eye, whatever, to have a financial value placed on it. Just look at what placing money on organs has done, terrible idea.

      I saw this technology demonstrated more than 20 years ago. It basically scans to recognize the hand then updates any changes, so that no matter what age you are it supposedly always knows who you are. Mostly designed to extract government money out of school lunch program, because kids lose ID’s.

      Not only is personal responsibility shifting away from the individual, the whole concept of personal BOUNDARIES (remember those?) is becoming less tangible: A younger generation is being shaped and prepared (perhaps unwittingly) for an entirely new level of invasive identification and behavioral tracking. Get ready. There are ALWAYS unforeseen consequences to the “well-intentioned” technological advances.

      The mark of the beast?

      Here is Revelation 14:9 And another angel, a third, followed them, saying in a loud voice: “If anyone worships the wild beast and its image, and receives a mark on his forehead or upon his hand, 10 he will also drink of the wine of the anger of God that is poured out undiluted into the cup of his wrath, and he shall be tormented with fire and sulphur in the sight of the holy angels and in the sight of the Lamb. 11 And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever, and day and night they have no rest, those who worship the wild beast and its image, and whoever receives the mark of its name. 12 Here is where it means endurance for the holy ones, those who observe the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.”

      The number is placed either on the right hand or forehead. Palm is not mentioned, nor is finger print etc. Credit cards don’t think would count either. Those that take that text to the extreme to scare I would not consider “True Believers”…

      The “mark of the beast” isn’t a visible mark at all. Even if “they” put barcodes on our heads and on our right hands… that’s still not the mark of the beast, or even close to it. The “mark” on your forehead simply means you believe what the anti-christ (or what man) is telling you, rather than what is being stated in the word of God, and the “mark” on your right hand means you’re working to further that goal.

    It’s not the mark of the beast. The mark is something that will be taken voluntarily. It’s you affirming which side you are on – with God or against Him. It’s not in an ambiguous chip we would use for ordinary commerce (unless you must deny God to receive said chip).

    The mark is not some cosmic form of “gotcha” with eternal damnation at stake. Satan is not going to pop up at your death bed and say, “Haha! Fooled you! You go to hell!” because you have a chip in your hand.

But I personally would never ask an employee to submit to a scanner. It shows a complete lack of trust on my part and make the employee feel like nothing more than a number. That may be fine with some employers but I wouldn’t ask anyone to take part. If I find someone taking advantage of the system, I’ll call them out and deal with the individual, not subject and entire workforce to a scanner because of a few malcontents.

If people would teach their child responsibility when it comes to keeping up with school issued ID there would be no problem. I remember going to elementary school and the teacher handing each child their “lunch” card prior to lunch with their info on it, then in 2nd grade up, the ID card was placed on a board and we located our own prior to lunch. If people would stop turning to the government to “take care” of everything, things like this wouldn’t be an issue. Welcome to The United Nanny States of America. You asked for it, live with it.

    More likely they oppose the fact that the school and actively control how often the kids eat and make sure that they are using the correct payment plan. There should be no objection due to religious beliefs, more specifically the “mark of the beast”. There is no mark. It scans the palm print. This would be similar to objecting to using photo I.D.’s because of religious beliefs. Of course I guess they could be Amish and don’t believe in the use of electricity but somehow I doubt it.
