Teachers Union Brainwashing

Corrupting AI fits into a dangerous pattern of union-sponsored K-12 indoctrination.
It's time to go to war to stop teachers unions from brainwashing our kids.
Here's the latest red warning flag: The American Federation of Teachers, the National Education Association and other K-12 education unions are trying to take control of the AI-generated material students see.
The unions are collaborating with giant AI providers like Microsoft and Anthropic, who are footing the bill for nationwide programs to train teachers on using AI in the classroom. Sounds at first like a win-win: more resources for students, and access to the next generation of customers for Microsoft and other AI providers.
But the dirty secret, alleges a new research report from the watchdog group Defending Education, is that the unions want to alter the answers AI produces to ensure students are seeing not what is factually most accurate but instead what is politically correct.
The AFT is launching a nationwide training program for 10% of its teachers, paid for with $12.5 million from Microsoft and smaller grants from other AI companies. Defending Education claims that the plan includes embedding diversity, equity and inclusion ideology into the AI programs. The rationale is that this step must be taken because AI, having been designed by mostly white and Asian males, is biased.
