Horrifying that these tools exist at all, the article brings up it has a “greater negative impact on students from low-income families, black students, hispanic students, and those with learning differences” as well. It sounds like this just harms everyone. I do not trust the excuse of the tools being intended to prevent harm in the slightest.

Schools should be a place students can trust, acting to uplift and support them. But if the schools don’t even trust the students, how can we expect it to be a safe place?

This amount of surveillance is never okay. I don’t understand how it’s becoming so normal.
