A Texas girl suspended for refusing to wear a student ID card implanted with a radio-frequency identification chip is being re-admitted to her former high school where fall classes begin Monday, her lawyers said today. The flap concerns Andrea Hernandez, who will be a junior at John Jay High in San Antonio. She was suspended in January and sued the Northside Independent School District on privacy and religious grounds. She lost and began attending another school that did not require pupils to wear the ID badges. The girl's lawyers said today that she is returning to the magnet school where the highly contested legal battle commenced. That's because the district has quietly abandoned its year-long RFID-student monitoring program.
