Did you get a chuckle out of that article noting that New York’s teachers unions are fighting to prevent an AI-generated teacher from teaching kids in our public schools?
They could’ve stopped right there and we would’ve agreed with them wholeheartedly. But, amazingly, they went on to claim that the reason they opposed the AI teacher was that this particular robot was manufactured by the same firm that builds robot sex dolls.
“A robot built by a company associated with sex dolls has no business in our classrooms,” Melinda Person, president of the labor union New York State United Teachers told NPR.
Now we don’t support robots teaching our kids in any form in the classroom. Studies are showing that obsessing kids with technology over live teaching is already doing damage to their scholastic performance. We also have a poll this week asking respondents if they believe that AI-generated teachers should be in schools.
Why was there any need for the unions to link their opposition to the manufacturer’s dabbling in sex robots? It was never suggested that sex robots were going to be teaching kids.
But what’s most ironic and almost hilarious about the unions’ move is that these are the same teachers unions who have enthusiastically been supporting woke agendas being pushed on our kids that include outright pornography being accessible to students as young as 13.
If you have followed this column, you would’ve seen past articles where we railed against many Long Island schools placing books in our school libraries that are just outright pornographic. Just so you didn’t think we were overreacting, we included the actual written passages and photos of children engaging in sexual acts.
Click here to see them again to understand that we are not exaggerating.
Once you uncurl your hair after reading this, we think you will agree that it is absolutely outrageous that these books remain accessible to children. If school personnel sought to give these books to children outside of the school grounds, they would be arrested for peddling pornography to children. Why is it suddenly OK because now it’s in a school library?
Our fight to maintain age-appropriate materials in our school was ridiculed and attacked by the governor, the Board of Regents, the attorney general and, of course, the teachers unions themselves.
So here you have the teachers union complaining about a sex doll that was never going to be teaching our children or getting into our classrooms to begin with, yet they line up to fight those who want to remove blatant pornography out of our schools.
You can’t make this stuff up.
