Opinion | America Is Abandoning Morality

What kind of person do I want to be?
What kind of worker do I want to be?
What kind of citizen do I want to be?
What would the world be like if all persons behave the way I do?

I would put the percentage way higher than 10%
more like 30%

why the first steps to addressing this should not be at school

not everywhere looks like NYC
what becomes of this anger in 2026?

and for teachers, why your middle school aged boys are obsessed with the stock market

on false narratives and facts
the double tap of the all girls school

questioning the moral breakdown of the US military
the US as rogue nation

how is this politically viable for 2026 elections?

Parents think they know how kids use AI. They don't New surveys asked teens how they use AI. Parents have no idea what's going on, from homework to emotional support.

why the talk about #ai has to start young
and the smart uses need to be present in the classroom, demystify the whole thing

Nothing to see here. Just the slow normalization of surveillance as the price of participation in modern life. If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to… question.

Congress considers blowing up internet law One senator noted “the door swings both ways” when it comes to jawboning.

Nothing to see here. Just algorithms quietly deciding which truths trend and which truths vanish. Definitely neutral. Definitely math.

Data brokers: “We respect your privacy.”
Also data brokers: “Would you like to buy the movement history of 40 million Americans sorted by coffee preference?”
Nothing to see here.

FBI: We’re not tracking you.
Also FBI: We just accidentally bought a detailed map of everywhere you've been since 2017.
Nothing to see here.

problem with the rule of thirds, it makes Ai so possible, when everyone has been defaulting to the same arrangements, we just become predictable, very not human

what kind of screen time, what content, what context, how interactive? Quality, design, and relationships matter more than raw time.

"It is the ability to step back and ask, ‘Just because we can do this, should we?"

from Howard Gardner's Five Minds for the Future
nowhere has the need for the ethical mind in leadership been more apparent

#schools

hence the need for a total remake on how we fund education, I believe what we are currently seeing is decades of defunding of public schools

the US is traditionally the powerhouse of educational research, but so failing in educating a general public

by design no?

more on the LATAMization of the US
teaching as political act

the constitution is clear on this one
this is overreach

at this point, the digital device is basically a tracker

meanwhile, schools are training grounds for democracies

Oh?

and...
assessment, equity of access, teacher workload, and a discussion of "affordances", are there common aligned horizons on goals, beliefs, capabilities, and experiences?

outsourcing high risk decisions:
is AI advising on curriculum, admissions, mental health, discipline?

IP/authorship confusion:
who owns AI-assisted outputs, training data rights, copyrighted inputs, and research?

data governance failures:
clear policies on student/faculty data?

#aiineducation

epistemic drift:
what counts as coursework, as research?

corporate capture:
are we becoming dependent on some non-democratic corporate structures?

mission creep:
is this Ai for admin efficiency? At what point is it overstepping into surveillance?

#aiineducation #education #k12 #edtech #ai

big tool shift creates reflections institutions are not ready for, we saw this in the 2008-2012 tech shift with GAFE and iPads

the Ai shift is bigger, and it is only beginning
but the wrong topics are being discussed...

open declaration of regime change
is this anything for a distraction from "affordability" and Epstein documents?

the Donroe Doctrine is one of desperation

it is not bigger news because everyone is looking inward
life is quickly changing for those of us abroad
functioning embassies, stable relations with host countries enables great work to be done abroad

#ai threatens to erode the core liberal arts values, students may skip the slow work that builds interpretation, synthesis, moral reasoning, and intellectual courage

teachers become the protectors of ambiguity, contradiction, and discomfort - culture as a continuous construction

as persuasion engine
loyalty test
surveillance device
that flattens plurality

motivation in schools
get lots of these
short intense exercise, just enough to get the blood pumping

I have taken to half mile runs at recess
it works wonders for getting the brain ready for the next sprint
