Interesting thought but my impression is that the democrats are much more beholden to other forces at play in the school system. I have friends who are teachers in the public school system, have been active in the union, and are indeed against AI in the classroom (although they're hardly rabid or unreasonable about it). On the other hand, the school administrators and IT departments are much more aggressive about pushing AI on them and pressing them to work it into the classroom somehow. Considering that the democrats are largely captured by corporate interest, and considering that tech/AI is one of the biggest corporate interests there is right now... I just don't see things playing out the way you predict.


the administrators and IT departments are not in the teachers unions.


Yes... exactly my point.


and the teachers unions have vastly more power than those guys


Hey, I'm sorry, but such a blanket statement is pretty weak on its own. I'm interested in your perspective. Can you provide some concrete details that support your point? Because the people I know feel like AI in the classroom is inevitable and that they don't have much power in the face of the authority that wants to impose it on them, which would seem to contradict what you're saying.
