Parents Sue Big Ed Tech and States Push the “Success Sequence”
About this episode
This Week: In what could be a landscape shifting class action lawsuit, parents sue Curriculum Associates, maker of iReady, alleging privacy concerns, lack of parental consent for collection and use of data, and potentially scandalous use of student data profiles for profit. Sounds scary, and to be clear, we should treat ed tech with deep scrutiny. But, but does the case hold water? Plus, in the latest move to institutionalize white, christian nationalist patriarchy, a growing number of states are now telling schools to teach the “Success Sequence.” This approach advocates students graduate from high school, get a full time job, get married, and have children -- in that order -- as the best way to avoid or escape from poverty. Sigh. Here we go again. Manuel and Jeff discuss!
