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
could think of.  They can't deny someone an education because they
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.
