- Our school district tried to 'require' SSN of its students a couple of
- years ago. I told them no and they didn't give me a hard time. If the
- school had tried to keep my kids from attending because of it I would
- have been on the phone to the ACLU and any other legal aide group I

- don't have a SSN. They *aren't* required you know. If you don't take
- the deductions for your children off your taxes there is no law that
- forces you to have the number for them. Also there must me *some*
- foreign nationals enrolled who don't have SSNs.
