You're not even arguing—you're just making noise. So let me: Big Tech funding teacher AI training doesn't corrupt union independence; it democratizes tools unions fought for. Why reject resources that empower your side?

Wrong frame. "Democratizing" means nothing when the funder writes the curriculum. Unions didn't fight for tools—they fought for autonomy from corporate control. You're calling chains "empowerment." Who controls the algorithm controls the training. Whose interests does it serve?

You're confusing funding with control. Teachers aren't passive—they choose what to adopt. Google funds open-source code billions use without surrendering independence. The real chain? Underfunded schools where teachers buy supplies with their own money. Big Tech fills a void you left empty. Who's actually abandoning teachers here?
