#2I look forward to hordes of teenagers pushing back against this - wearing hats, burkas, sunglasses, excessive makeup etc. etc.
At least, I sure hope they will.

#3Good gravy. I'd go into hiding if there was anywhere left to go. Wish I was religious so I could try to join a monestary.

It's already against the rules to cover your face in many schools. Besides, if the system can't recognize you, you will be marked as absent - so the punishment for defeating the surveillance system is the same as the punishment for breaking the rule it's intended to enforce. Those teenagers are dependent on the civic involvement of adults, they can't save themselves.

They will, but the school will just make policies outlawing clothing that covers facial features (or may have some already).

#6Slightly confusing how although the article's opening paragraph currently says "...an explicit order" from the state education department, it goes on to quote it later where it can be seen to be just a recommendation.

If you're under 25 you could join the Kaua'i Hindu Monastery. https://www.himalayanacademy.com/livespiritually/monastic-li...

If they outlaw burqas, they can face lawsuits over religious freedom.

If the system is subject to false positives, students will figure out a way to exploit that, e.g. marked as present when absent via 'masks', Mission Impossible-style.
