We are the most popular position in the country right now. Pause AI development, don't experiment on our kids.

We have an ask! Can you email the Panel on Educational Policy and ask them to vote against the evil Oracle contract and to push back on high school pilots? Can you do it today? Can you tell your friends? We have a toolkit here with all you need! 🔥 @climatefamsnyc.bsky.social @comixaction.com

File our whole movement under, "even the NYT thinks it might just be crazy enough to work..." (www.nytimes.com/2026/09/28/u...)
Worth a try? Going lower tech
In some cases, there was little empirical evidence that an idea was academically effective, at least not yet. But experts believed that it could work. In cases where the idea was also not expensive, they saw few downsides to trying it.
Going lower tech - limiting screen time in school; restricting A.I. in the classroom, especially for younger students; and banning cellphones - fell in this category.
Ideas worth a try
INTERVENTION
1. Screen time limits v
2. Restrict A.l. use v
3. Ban cellphones v
4. Require full books v
5. Student attendance data v

Fun fact: they scheduled the PEP meeting at the exact same time as curriculum night across the city—so they can vote on it with no parents or teachers there. That should make you mad!

AIM was thrilled to meet with Minister Jakob Forssmed and the Swedish delegation today! We had a lively conversation about how to support kids in the US and Europe develop childhoods focused on play and learning, not on screens. We look forward to more conversations with our new friends! 🇸🇪🇸🇪

We're asking for ANY kind of evidence that a) is not paid for by industry and b) compares the AI product to a human teacher. The companies that design these tools are the same ones that write curricula taking books out of the classroom, and then we wonder why kids can't read. 📚👩‍🏫📚👩‍🏫📚👩‍🏫>🤖

Excellent positioning from an @aimoratoriumnyc.bsky.social member - getting our message on a sign right between @cndelarosa.bsky.social and @speakermenin.bsky.social during the rally, ha ha!
City Council member Carmen De La Rosa and Speaker Julie Menin at the rally - sign behind them reads "FULL A.I. MORATORIUM NOW!"

I testified along with other members of @comixaction.com and the @aimoratoriumnyc.bsky.social at the @council.nyc.gov hearing on screen time and digital devices in the schools today. My message - close the loopholes in the new "A.i." policy! Some photos from the rally before and the hearing...

A bot will write the document. A "human" will rewrite it to preserve the "author voice" but there is of course no author, and so here we are again where words just don't mean what they mean anymore. Here an "author voice" is a thing created by a bot and a human who is probably another bot.
accuracy by checking authenticity of citations

Editors effectively rewrite AI sounding sentences to prevent loss of author voice

Experts can fact check AI content within the context of the research topic

Subject matter experts provide nuanced feedback and suggestions that AI tools overlook

The stuff of schooling is a means to an end of cultivating human beings, but these goobers have subverted all of that because they think it's about answering math problems. We've completely lost the plot.
