And again, school administrators defer unthinkingly to AI

A kid was sitting at lunch outside of his high school when several police cars show up. They handcuffed him and searched him. What did they find? A crumpled up bag of chips that the AI detector thought looked like a gun.

The administrators say that the ‘system is working the way it should’ because there was human verification of what the AI flagged. Which is a flat out lie. The AI system is broken, it is wrong more times than it is right. But the school system is actually more broken.

When they say ‘human verification’, what should happen is that school administrators ask the kid what’s in his bag. Having everyone short of the SWAT team show up and handcuffing the young man in front of all of his friends is not ‘human verification’.

The only way it should have escalated to that point is if the kid had been in trouble or had made threats. But DEFCON ‘holy shit we’re all gonna die’ should not be the default.

Government education is broken. Irretrievably so. Basically due to women’s dominance in the profession.

Keep in mind, about three-quarters (77 percent) of teachers are women and 23 percent are men, according to data from the National Center for Education Statistics. All of these numbers tell a dark and scary story.

Many teachers are still doing the work for the right reasons, but the radicals have hijacked the profession. They’re loud, visible, and impossible to ignore. They turned a profession built on trust into a stage for politics and personal chaos. And in the process, they’ve managed to burn through decades of public respect in less than a generation.

Today’s teachers seem to be knee-deep in their own identity crisis. They’re confused about power, boundaries, and even adulthood itself. That’s why we keep seeing these disturbing stories of female teachers crossing the line sexually with their teen students, pushing left-wing ideology instead of academics, and chasing online clicks.

Read the whole thing at the link above. Makes sense.

  1. And the default, in this case, was “Fear” so “Call a a man to check on the boy with a (maybe) gun”

    Women are, forever, eternally afraid it seems.
    And, despite their claims, always “Need a Man” for protection in our society. They need men to do the dirty work, and to provide protection and security.

    Plus, I have to ask, did no one bother to look at the video that the Ai saw before calling the cops?

    I wrote AI code back in 1971 in my very first programming class that was smarter than any democrat could ever dream to be, so don’t blame AI for outsmarting these unionized school bureaucrats.

  3. B–I agree, and liberal women (those who would generally be in education) are the most fearful. And yes, why wouldn’t they have checked the AI picture before calling the cops? Especially with the fail rate of AI in these cases.

    Henk–The bar is extraordinarily low on those, for sure.

  5. With a poster child like Randy Weingarten as your figure head, why would anyone doubt that the public school system is FUBAR. Notice she’s been pretty quiet since DOGE found all the fraud and Trump disbanded the Dept of Ed cutting off the main graft money supply to the teachers union. Maybe now some of that federal public school money will actually make its way into local public schools.

    Speaking funding public schools, how is it that the Federal Dept of ED has an annual budget of $200 BILLION, yet more than 50% of local tax bills are earmarked for funding a state’s public school system?

    Talk about a racket…

  6. Wait now, let’s not jump to conclusions. Were they wimpy regular Doritos or Flamin’ Hot (a.k.a. Weaponized) Doritos? There may be extenuating circumstances here.

    Even so, why did they need outside assistance? This is Baltimore, after all, where every public school has metal detectors and its own permanent on-site po-leeze detachment.

  7. Brad–Agree.

    Nemo–She still exists, she’s just more low key. But most of the Department of Ed is being cut. Unfortunately completely killing it will take Congressional action.

    Harbinger–Flamin’ Hot might make the difference. And you’re right, the fact that they called the regular police was ridculous.

  8. Most of today’s “educators” are inept in their own lives and judgement to the point that they are unable to handle simple real life problem solving and lack the ability to understand cause and effect in the real world. Did the universities make them this way, or is that what the universities attract?

  9. I will tell you most security SOPs a written by people with no serious security experience.

    I was at an event were a woman set of the radiation detectors. Two fabulous but ignorant employees stopped the woman but would not tell her why. She was getting very upset.

    I asked her if she was going thru radiation treatments. She said yes and told me what isotope they used. I told her she set off a detector and sorry for the delay.

    She asked why the two knuckleheads hadn’t asked her . I said their protocols would have called it a violation of her HIPPA rights but if they didn’t detain her they would also be reprimanded. I told her I was hired by the facility and they let me do what I was paid for.

    I’m sure the school district officials consider themselves brilliant. Clear backpacks stopped school shootings didn’t it?

  10. Teachers at my son’s school have been witnessed telling kids they give up their rights when they come on school grounds. This is a very winnable case that violates due process. I really hope they sue the hell out of them.

    We won a 1st amendment case for my son when he wore attire that had a gun logo on it supporting veterans. I really hope they fight for what is right.

  11. WDS–Not with government education the way it is.

    TRoy–It was the long game. Colleges of education create a chokepoint for those wanting to be teachers. They are then indoctrinated and are no longer subject matter experts, they are propagandists. I do not recall knowing anything about any of my teachers’ private lives in grade school or high school. They seek approbation from children, which is sick.

    Gerry–It’s doing something that won’t accomplish anything.

    Steve–Excellent on you for standing up with your son. Glad you won that one!
