Texas tracks truants with GPS device
FROM STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS ,
Anew program in San Antonio, Texas, allows court
authorities to track students that skip school
using ankle bracelets with GPS monitoring.
“We can either educate or incarcerate,” said Linda Penn, a Bexar
County justice of the peace. She anticipates that about 50 high school students
will wear the bracelets during the six-month pilot program.
The students in the program will not be allowed to remove their ankle bracelets.
“Is that appropriate for the school or courts to know where and what this person is
doing outside of school?” said Terri Burke, executive director of the of the American
Civil Liberties Union of Texas.
NOTED. An Italian priest said Sunday he is
organizing a beauty contest for nuns.
The online “Miss Sister 2008” contest will give
them more visibility within the Catholic Church
and help them fight the stereotype that they are
all old and dour, Rev. Antonio Rungi said.
“External beauty is gift from God, and we
mustn’t hide it,” said Rungi, who will start the
contest in September..
