"Here's what happens when we allow facial recognition technology in our schools," 15 August 2018

In recent weeks, the NYCLU sounded the alarm after the Lockport City School District received $4 million in state funds to purchase facial recognition technology... [F]acial recognition technology does not make our schools safer... Millions of students in the United States have invasive security measures imposed on them each day in order to attend school... [Five consquences include:]... loss of privacy; false matches; discrimination; ineffectiveness; and fewer graduates... Normalizing mechanisms of surveillance and control catalyzes the criminalization of the school environment and could make school hallways feel more like jails. It facilitates the tracking of everyone's movements and social interactions and reinforces the school-to-prison pipeline. [Refers to Amazon.
