Common Core panel wants limits on school use of fingerprints, retinal scans. (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, 12/12/2013)

Do dooby do dooby sha la la la loo. Democrats dismissed many of the recommendations as silly. 

Rep. Sondy Pope (D-Cross Plains) said no districts are performing retinal scans, [at least not in the name of Common Core standards] and that putting restrictions on taking biometric information could inhibit the ability of schools to monitor the health of special-needs students or record the temperature of a sick child.
