VSB - Stop Microsoft Copilot!1d ago

As of today, the Vancouver School Board sent this document rolling out Copilot 13+ AI in schools. The same technology that has been consistently shown to damage critical thinking skills and isolate teenagers is now being rolled out to all Vancouver students above 13.
If you're wondering what this means for our movement, it's that we will have to fight harder. We're not giving up.

An autistic school librarian faced a disciplinary hearing and scores of books were removed from her school library after she stocked Laura Bates’ Men Who Hate Women

'“We have the exact same group of children who come in every single day, and a lot of them are LGBTQ+, a lot of them are neurodivergent, and they come into the library because it’s their safe place,” Emily said. That safe place had been removed.'

Study published Mar '26, proves clearly that U.S. whites are for redistribution (progressive taxation, Medicare), UNLESS or UNTIL you ask them to compare to racial #minorities. Then, U.S. whites are willing to end such programs, rather than let blacks get assistance.
This echos the '60s when whites closed #schools, pools, rather than allow #blacks in. Cut off my nose, to spite their face.
