A 26-year-old man is charged with sex crimes after enrolling in a public school district in Lincoln, Nebraska, where he pretended to be 17, police say.
Jesus Christ how the fuck do you allow people to enroll without a fucking social security number bro what
Are these states okay? I feel like florida is leaking
Its a public school, and not every kid is going to have a ssn.
Please explain. Far as I know, if you’re a citizen of the US you have an ID tied to your DOB (unlike a physical license which in theory is easier to fake rather than having a remote db of this info)
It is inexcusable that this school couldn’t figure out how to positively fucking identify someone’s age. Imagine having children in this era of “we have to account for everyone’s circumstances or nobodies at all”
Think immigrants. And you don’t have to be a citizen to go to public schools.
The US govt has IDs for all of these things. I do not subscribe to a model of all or nothing either.
Something is better than nothing.
Edit: edited to remove purposeless jabs at someone who was just trynna answer my question
Sometimes I do the dumb
It’s not blamemeta’s “model of all or nothing”. You asked them to explain why schools don’t require SSN or why some children don’t have them. They told you two reasons why.
You’re right thanks for the second look and for bein pretty patient
As a lurker, I just wanted to say thanks for the civil discourse.
No problem, happens to the best of us sometimes. How refreshingly civil is Lemmy’s comment section compared to Reddit’s toxicity?!
They do, but most kids don’t have them.
Most kids don’t have what
IDs. States issue formal IDs to non-drivers. We got one for our kids before traveling abroad (and passports). It looks just like a drivers license.
Late 90s romcom turned crime drama.
Once I left high school, I had no desire to return. Why people would willingly go back will forever remain a mystery to me.
Uh, I mean the ‘why’ is pretty clear in this case.
Excerpt from linked article:
During a news conference Friday, Lincoln Public Schools superintendent Paul Gausman said Scheich had enrolled by submitting a birth certificate, an out-of-district high school transcript and immunization records.
“All those documents turned out to be fraudulent,” said Gausman.
