"First they ignore you (check!) then they minimize you and make fun of you (check!) then they try to put you in your place and tell you it’s impossible (check!) and then they tell the world that you’re actually the oppressor and they’re the victims (check!) and then you win (waiting for it!)"

“Companies like Google view K–12 contracts as a means of grooming future customers. And… tech billionaires are spelling out radical plans to weaponize their phenomenal wealth... What better place to start than by tracking and shaping the cognitive habits of children?” jacobin.com/2026/05/educ...

We are indeed just getting started.

It is profoundly bizarre that the head of one of America’s major teachers union is currently promoting Khanmigo only weeks after Sal Khan, creator of Khanmigo, admitted the vast majority of students don’t like using it and he, Sal Khan, is moving on to other matters.

I love this so much both as a fellow advocate and as a forever early 2000s emo kid. Co-written by a 3rd grade teacher and his students. Listen to the kids - they hate edtech too!

A great thread by the incomparable @lutzfernandez.bsky.social — read the whole thing!

Tech bro saying the quiet part out loud at a recent school board meeting. It's the same tired rhetoric. The current model of education is broken. Tech can fix it! Our students need to be prepared for a "new world". Let's experiment! www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHjk...

"industry-backed" and "independent" do not belong in the same sentence. "...Common Sense Media is launching the Youth AI Safety Institute, an industry-backed, independent research and testing lab to study the risks AI tools may pose to children and teens" www.cnn.com/2026/05/05/t...

Get in, losers, we’re taking down the EdTech industry www.nytimes.com/2026/04/29/t...

Grateful to @natashanyt.bsky.social for covering our movement so thoughtfully and honored to be among those leading the movement for change.

One attendee I know personally stopped to chat with me and said, “well of course they are right,” referring to the parents organized by @jcarreo22.bsky.social to push back against ed-tech in schools. The Pro-Human Movement is growing.

I did a thing today - organized a very last minute protest in front of the ASU+GSV Summit. It was so cathartic to stand with fellow parents and caregivers to push back. Already looking forward to next year and expanding. Big thank you to @benjaminjriley.bsky.social for joining us for a bit!

I've been quietly removing tech from my school library since I took over 6 years ago. I thought people would be annoyed, but it's been great. Adults have barely noticed, and the students have responded well.

The breathtaking corruption of the edtech industrial complex on full display here. And a timely article with ASU+GSV kicking off today. “In other words, school districts are spending billions on unproven technology products while pleading poverty at the bargaining table." bit.ly/4msdeo6

A change of heart at Khan Academy? "..the organization’s chief learning officer, said AI can only respond to students based on what they ask. And it turns out, she said, “Students aren’t great at asking questions well.”" www.chalkbeat.org/2026/04/09/s...

Hoping this passes! AB2148 "an educator shall not be dismissed, suspended, disciplined, reassigned, transferred, or otherwise retaliated against for refusing to use, refusing to deploy, or refusing to direct pupils to, any form of educational technology" leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNa...

If you want better student outcomes, scrap the chromebooks & upgrade the HVAC.

Parents and caregivers across the country are standing up and saying enough. We're sick and tired of tech companies profiting off our kids by selling harmful and extractive products into our schools. This is just the beginning. Bravo @lbyock.bsky.social! As the kids would say, LFGO.
