I think this is misleading. All goods & bads aren’t equal, e.g. “States can’t impose stricter rules” means private schools can violate LBGQ+ and other state-based protections in admissions and other policies. This should be enough to supplant any supposed goods.

@governor.ny.gov must reject federal voucher deal. New regs would supersede NYS anti-discrimination laws, allowing private schools to bar admissions based on gender, sexual orientation, and other protected classifications.

NYC schools are putting the brakes on AI, but CUNY education experts say teaching students to question it may be more powerful than banning it www.gc.cuny.edu/news/will-ba...

Will banning AI in NYC schools work?
As New York City restricts generative AI for younger children, CUNY education experts consider how schoosl can protect learning while preparing students for an AI-filled world.

As New York City public school students returned to classrooms this fall under sweeping restrictions on artificial intelligence in schools, CUNY education experts share their insights.

Given how deeply AI is already embedded in society, Professor Stephen Farenga.said failing to teach students how to use it could itself be dangerous.

“When you go to ban something outright, it almost makes it more desirable for people to want to look at and to want to get into,” Farenga said.

Queens College Professor Salvatore Garofalo said students need to learn to approach AI output critically, bringing their own knowledge to bear and questioning what the technology produces.
“If you don’t have that skill, if you’re not taught that skill, and if you don’t teach that skill,” Garofalo said, “then we become servants to the AI.”

Professor David Bloomfield says he prefers to leave the decisions about AI to schools and districts, not governments.
“The two concepts that come to mind are flexibility and educational expertise, neither of which the legislature has,” Bloomfield said.

Leave instructional AI decisions largely to schools and districts.

Efforts to curb school avoidance “will fail without targeting schools with greatest need with a centrally supported toolbox of proven strategies.” @dcbloomfield.bsky.social @brooklyncollege.bsky.social @thegraduatecenter.bsky.social

The school-based liaisons to address avoidance are a “good first step” but more needs to be done.”Outsourcing accountability is not an option.” @dcbloomfield.bsky.social @brooklyncollege.bsky.social @thegraduatecenter.bsky.social By David Spector @nypost.com nypost.com/2026/09/12/u...

Though we wring our hands about low reading scores, refusing to start school before Labor Day increases the span of summer learning loss.
