The “biometric entrance” at the “school of the future”.

I come bearing predictable news. From our friends at Katyusha.org:
Our dire forecast regarding the implementation of biometrics in schools, which we presented in a large analytical report in early December, is being confirmed.
Following the [biometric ID] pilot program [for schoolchildren] in Tatarstan and several other regions participating in the experiment, the Leningrad Region has also extended its hand to children’s biometrics—as well as the country’s leading banker.
Katyusha is referring to a recent meeting between Leningrad Region Governor Alexander Drozdenko and Sber CEO Herman Gerf, which resulted in “new promising projects” for the region, including the creation of a “biometric access project” that will allow children to “enter school securely and instantly, without cards or passes.”
Sounds very safe and convenient, no?
Drozdenko also boasted that Gref’s Leningrad cattle tag initiative would be the first “biometric access point” for schoolchildren in Russia. This is not even remotely true, and to this very day nobody knows why he said something so obviously untrue, but whatever.
Possibly Drozdenko meant that his region was joining a nationwide trend, spearheaded by Moscow, to “voluntarily” cattle-tag every Russian schoolchild.
If this is what Drozdenko meant, then yes, he is more or less correct.
Let us recall that in August, Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Grigorenko stressed the importance of cattle-tagging all schoolchildren, arguing that “entry to school ‘by face’ is not only convenient, but also very safe.”
Those are his actual words.
As for Mr. Herman Gref, the former (?) WEF Board of Trustees Member, the author of the preface to the Russian-language edition to Klaus Schwab’s The Fourth Industrial Revolution, the Virus warrior who provided funding and “logistics” for the creation of Sputnik V, the turbo-patriot whose daughter lives in London ….
Do I need to say it? I feel like I say it every week. I don’t want to say it anymore. I’m tired of saying it.
It’s just nice to know that Gref’s “schools of the future” will pump out generations of young adults who will think that “paying with a smile” is completely normal.
And it will be. And Gref will smile.
Interesting some people in Russia still say Leningrad. We found out that teachers at our private school are systematically asking the children questions about their home life. Very creepy. In a small country town, all smiles everyday, but what exactly are they up to? They teach children about ‘fears’ and asked them to describe their greatest fear in writing. One child wrote that they were afraid of being left home alone, and wrote such a good description of what it would be like, the teachers decided thst this must actually be happening and they investigated the parents. You couldn’t make it up. As usual it’s the less intelligent teachers involved (with such actions), and the good ones try not to be involved. Totalitarian regimes love promoting the failed section of the community as they will do anything to get recognition by their controllers. Parents beware.
That is ominous but doesn’t surprise me one bit. If it’s happening in the private sector then, you can bet your life it’s worse in the public sector
I’m very wary of the mindless woke adherents who infest our institutions now, notably teaching and medicine, but all government jobs it seems. They seem to think that they are “progressive” but they are really useful idiots who support the totalitarian regime
I suppose that it’s always been like that with leftists, they think that they are doing “good” but are not very aware at all. “Socialism” has always led to totalitarianism, wherever its been put in to a position of power. I can’t think of any exceptions to that rule, can anybody else?
