🚨Is "education" becoming the infrastructure for a social credit system? For 25 years, the Gates Foundation has poured billions into redesigning schools, curricula, standards, and assessments -- and data systems that track all of it. The foundation has now pledged at least another $1 BILLION to AI over two years, with 40% of it for education. You could be forgiven for thinking "competency" means reading, writing, and arithmetic. But OECD and UNESCO frameworks include attitudes and VALUES. When personal character is tracked as data, the implications for AI are staggering. Who decides which values are coded as correct? Will holding certain values open doors? Close them? 🎥 My video traces 25 years of Gates education & workforce grants in just over 3 minutes. Follow the money, state by state, year by year. 📖 PRE-ORDER my new broadside, The Human Cost of Artificial Education. The video shows how one foundation deployed its capital.

Protecting kids takes more than asking companies to do better. Set the rules. Enforce them. Put children’s safety first. wlrn.org/government-politics…

In accordance with Section 501.171, F.S., FLHSMV is issuing this substitute notice because it may not have current mailing addresses for impacted customers who no longer hold a valid Florida driver license or identification card or who previously had a vehicle titled in Florida.
