If you are claiming people are getting their kids injected with RFID chips, you'll have to support that claim. I know a few adults that have done it.
You do realize that RFID chips aren't magic right? They're short range and low power, they can't track you everywhere you go every moment just because you have a tiny chip.
It gets queried by a reader and replies. The reader has to be connected to a database to be able to correlate the ID in the chip with other information about you. So if you have an RFID chip to pay for your gas, the government would have to have access to that private company database. To every private company database that used the tags.
Are you worried about being tracked by your credit card #? Because tracking by RFID would be the exact same kind of feat. Better give up your credit cards now because the government is tracking you by them.
Defeating an RFID chip is also very easy; place it in a faraday cage. They make wallets that do this. Done, chip is now inaccessible.
EDIT: Lol @ requiring people to get chipped.. in the right hand or the forehead maybe? Mark of the beast? Even in the UK where they're far far worse with respect to rights and privacy they don't do that.

It is the potential of what being chipped results in that scares me. No thanks. Here is a short TIME article.
