If there's ever been a time to NOT be incrementalist, this is it. The most political capital you're gonna have is right now. And we got Gestapo death squads in MSP and TB spreading through concentration camps in Texas. If you can't find a win there, get out of politics. The Epstein Class, baby

ICE has grabbed so many people from their vehicles that there are abandoned cars across Minnesota.
This tow truck driver returns the cars for free as a public service, and he’s been getting death threats.
They hate the helpers.

Technology procurement in education is indeed boring, which is why it gets little attention, but it is possible to have procurement processes that start with, for example, *public values*. I doubt OpenAI would get through such a process because it's predating the public for private gain.
The boring work of procurement and the need for public scrutiny of proposed contracts with tech companies are essential safeguards against the uncritical adoption of GenAI in K-12 schools.
As a parent and educator, if my district leaders did something like this, I would be furious.

Unroll 🧵 and please sit with this:
