OPT OUT OF AMIRA: We're working with Tech In Check, to help parents learn about the Amira AI "reading screener" and how it endangers our privacy while perpetuating bias against children, marking them as having "reading difficulties" even when the test itself is at fault. @schoolsbeyond.bsky.social

PARENTS: Protect your child’s privacy

of Amira K-2 Reading Screening

SFUSD OPT-OUT DEADLINE:
FRIDAY 9/25/26

WHAT IS AMIRA?
AI reading assessment and tutoring software that captures voice recordings and trains AI models on children’s data.

WHY OPT OUT OF AMIRA?

It uses children’s biometric data to train AI, without transparency, consent, or adequate privacy protections
Privacy policy is unclear
Replaces human interaction, depriving students of real instruction, connection, and feedback

"If you’re looking for inspiration in the fight against authoritarianism in the US, you might want to talk to parents of school-age children — because a bunch of them are taking on the tech oligarchs and notching wins." 💪💪💪

At a moment when major public school districts like LA and NYC are leading by example to protect students from predatory tech companies, "AI-based" Alpha School is requiring students to chase clout on a dying social media platform. These kids deserve so much better.

Yes, this:

A screenshot of Audrey Watters’ weekly post that reads, “This growing rejection and refusal of technology – inside and outside of schools – is about much much more than the technology itself. It is, in part, about the loss of control; the loss of agency, autonomy, and privacy. It is a response to the oligarchs’ efforts to undermine democracy. It is about these billionaires’ dismal, dystopian vision for the future – a wanton destruction of the planet writ large and local communities writ small; their apparent hatred for home and humanity alike.”

"These changes “prove that the people have the power to reclaim public schools from corporate influence,” said Lila Byock @lbyock.bsky.social , co-founder of the parent activist group Schools Beyond Screens"

Pause AI in BC Schools @aicaution.ca · 05/09/2026

A statement from the Canadian Teacher's Federation calls AI in schools and the cognitive offloading it causes "threat to democracy". Vancouver should be banning AI from schools like NYC and LA. www.ctf-fce.ca/public-educa...

Huge shout-out to everybody organizing in NYC and LA public schools - and beyond! - to fight Big Tech and defend publication education. You truly love to see it.

AI Moratorium for NYC Schools @aimoratoriumnyc.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

For the night crowd: the wins you’re seeing in NYC and LA this week did not fall from the sky. They are the result of literally thousands of hours of organizing by parents, teachers, advocates in both communities. These wins belong to them - and the millions of kids in both cities who will benefit.

Today's announcements of AI moratoriums in the nation's two largest school districts prove that the people have the power to reclaim our public schools from corporate influence.

Today, America’s two largest school districts sent a message to the rest of the country that AI in schools is far from inevitable. When we organize and fight back, we win.

This comes on the same day that @mayor.nyc.gov announced a 1-yr moratorium on AI use in NYC elementary & middle schools, following a tireless campaign by the heroes in @aimoratoriumnyc.bsky.social. It’s not perfect, but it’s a good start.

Today, members of @schoolsbeyond.bsky.social showed up at the first meeting of the LAUSD AI Ad Hoc Committee to reiterate our demands for an immediate moratorium on student AI use. But District staff stunned us by announcing that all standalone AI products are now blocked on student devices TK-12!

The Board of LAUSD has unanimously passed the “Guidelines for Student Screen Time Policy," the result of over a year of coordinated and consistent effort from parent volunteers, teachers, and students who have had enough of Big Tech’s encroachment into our schools. mailchi.mp/schoolsbeyon...

Until the LAUSD school board's Ad Hoc Committee on AI has had time to assess the existing research and weigh the risks against the potential benefits, there can be no justification for continuing to allow the district's students to be used as guinea pigs for untested AI technology. #lausd
