> 19% of students at schools that use filtering technology say they were even aware of students who were “outed” for LGBTQ+ as a result of the filtering. > Around two-thirds of teachers surveyed said they’d seen students disciplined at school as a result of AI-powered monitoring software. Shockingly, 38% of teachers said they were even aware of a student who was contacted by law enforcement as a result of the monitoring. So US schools are becoming bigoted panopticon prisons for real, yet kids still can't be kept safe from getting shot there? I don't know what that does to a child, but I'm sure it can't be good.

> 19% of students at schools that use filtering technology say they were even aware of students who were “outed” for LGBTQ+ as a result of the filtering. I am very skeptical this 19% should be taken at face value.

  Eh, idk about the percentage, but the idea sounds plausible to me. Teenagers find dark corners to make out in like water finds a crack. It’s not hard to imagine an automated system flagging contact between students as potentially inappropriate.

  It’s a fuzzy statistic. It can happen once but be viral enough for 19% of students to have heard of it.

  Why? This is about students hearing about such case. Rumors go around fast and far. One kid like that may easily mean good half of the school heard about the situation.

People talk about the us education system as though it were a single thing. It’s never been that.

The Moms for Liberty agenda is to abolish public schools because public schools undermine their ideology. Anything that damages public schools advances their agenda. Free public education was always a socialist conspiracy.
