Parents Push Back on Big Tech in Schools
The backlash to Big Tech in our schools is real and growing. Parents across the country are organizing, speaking out, and demanding better for their kids, and it’s working. From stopping AI-driven school experiments to rolling back excessive screen time and device use, families and educators are proving that grassroots pressure can beat corporate influence. This fast-moving movement is uniting allies around a simple demand…schools should serve students and communities, not tech companies.
Public schools should be rooted in human relationships, educators, and community control, not billionaire profits or tech platforms. When classrooms become pipelines for data extraction and private gain, everyone loses. This moment is a reminder that public education is a public good, and that parents and educators have both the right and the power to push back against corporate overreach and reclaim our schools.
