NYC schools can’t fix broken buses but now want to run AI in classrooms

New York City’s so-called “education experts” want us to trust them with the future of artificial intelligence in schools. That’s a joke. These are the same bureaucrats who can’t even organize a basic bus schedule. Every year, it’s the same disaster—kids stranded on the sidewalk, waiting for yellow buses that never show up. Parents get empty excuses, but no solutions. This crowd can’t even fix a decades-old problem. But now they’re suddenly tech geniuses, ready to manage something as powerful and risky as AI?

Don’t forget the obsession with shiny gadgets over real learning. Too many classrooms are full of kids glued to cheap Chromebooks. Ask any teacher with common sense: children aren’t mastering reading, writing, or math when they’re hunched over screens. The basics matter. Holding a pencil, practicing real handwriting—these are skills that build brains and character. Yet our education overlords would rather worship whatever new technology Silicon Valley throws at them. It’s easier to look “modern” than to actually teach.

Liberals love pretending that tossing technology into classrooms is the same as preparing kids for the future. But it’s just another top-down scheme. They throw taxpayer money at the latest fads, then act shocked when nothing improves. New York City’s school bureaucrats seem more interested in cozying up to global tech companies than preparing American students for real success. Who benefits? Silicon Valley’s bottom line, not hardworking families.

Every mistake proves it. If these educrats can’t get kids to school on time or focus on the basics, why would anyone trust them with dangerous new tools like AI? The stakes are a lot higher here. Artificial intelligence can make or break national security, public safety, and—yes—our children’s futures. Do we really want these careless, politically-correct officials deciding what AI does in our classrooms?

Maybe instead of dreaming up their next tech obsession, New York’s education leaders should try getting the basics right. Fix the buses, teach the fundamentals, and stop using students as guinea pigs for every new Silicon Valley toy. Or maybe the only thing these liberal bureaucrats are skilled at is missing the point, yet again.
