Feds target 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 cut subsidies that help US schools pay for internet access, part of a broader backlash against education technology. The push sits awkwardly alongside President Trump's simultaneous promotion of artificial intelligence in American classrooms, creating tension within the administration's approach to schools and technology. Critics warn that curbing the funding could widen the digital divide for lower-income students.

Why now: A clash is emerging between federal ed-tech skepticism and Trump's pro-AI stance for schools.
