Anyway. They spent the last decade telling us STEM degrees were the future and the Humanities were worthless then they spent hundreds of billions of dollars to build a glitchy Humanities robot.

The article you’re sharing touts a teacher making students use “A.i.” to design ugly sweaters. That’s a repugnant use of tech based on theft to rob kids of the chance to use their own minds and hands to actually draw. Do you support that attack on human creativity?

Historian here, from high school coaches teaching History to bad faith right wing influencers like the odious Matt Walsh cherry picking “facts” to drive a false narrative, from the erasure of the history of slavery to justification, the proslavery argument was still not in my 2025 bingo card!

Or, hear me out, you could try arguing for the value of educators against the deskilling machine that sometimes kills students.

Forcing educators to use the very tools that steal from and plagiarize them, that destroy critical thinking, that are killing children... this is not just insanity, it is morally grotesque.

AI is anti-labor.

You are the head of a labor union.

Shame on you!

(Also, please see the other excellent points already put before you.)

All you have to do is look at the ed tech pushed over the last few decades! Little of it worked, unless you assume the goal is to find ways to stop paying teachers and professors.

Absolutely stunning that OpenAI, Anthropic, and Microsoft were able to buy off an entire teachers’ union for just $23 million.

AI has become the norm for students. Teachers are playing catch-up.
At a New York City training session, educators explored how artificial intelligence could support teaching while also discussing their concerns around the technology.

You know you're supposed to be on the side of labor right???

Because your continued attempts to push AI really show you're on the side of management.

This is frankly obscene. A form of victim blaming. You cannot ethically put a lying machine into a classroom, tell students who have not LEARNED the actual MATERIAL being discussed to interact with it, and then demand that these students determine what is a lie and what is true.

Shameful.

Randi has a storied history of being on the wrong side of key political issues when big money is involved (see also: healthcare). Almost makes you wonder why this person has been president of one of the biggest labor unions in the U.S. for *seventeen* years now.

if the president of the American Federation of Teachers—a union which represents not just primary and secondary school teachers, but also many college professors—cannot meaningfully distinguish between AI ed tech sales pitches and responsible pedagogy, she has no business representing educators.

Found the actual men in women's bathrooms assaulting women.
ICE agents illegally break into a woman's bathroom in a NY nutrition bar manufacturing plant. "Pull up your pants," says a male agent. The agents only had a warrant to review employer documents. They didn't have a warrant to search for, detain, or arrest anyone there.
