Federal Crackdown Targets School Internet Subsidies Amid Ed-Tech Backlash
Original: Feds target school internet subsidies in ed-tech backlash even as Trump touts AI
Federal officials are moving to scale back subsidies that help schools pay for internet access, part of a broader backlash against education technology. The push comes at an awkward moment, as President Trump simultaneously promotes artificial intelligence as a priority for American education, leaving schools facing tighter connectivity funding even as they are encouraged to embrace new AI tools.
Why now: The contradiction between cutting school internet funding and promoting AI in education has drawn attention to the administration's mixed messaging on classroom technology.
