Gates Foundation targets opponents of massive student database... .......................................................................................................................... tonymarini • 2 hours ago Whatever happened to the right to privacy and anonymity?? These education databases are nothing more than "ear tags" on the students...you know, like those placed on cattle...allowing the schools, and thus the government and/or big business to harvest valuable data on the students...with or without their assent and sometimes without their knowledge. If I'm paying tuition to attend a university, whose right is it to know any of the "data" I generated at that university except for me and the university??? None of this one-size-fits-all mandatory data gathering that may or may not be used for nefarious purposes down the road by who knows whom. We are allegedly freeborn men and women...let's keep it that way while we still have the chance.
