Dukes and Jackson, both with No Left Turn in Education, said parents should be concerned about how AI is being used in schools, and what information it may gather on students. Educators at over 120 districts across the country are implementing a pervasive school curriculum that has been denounced by opponents as an effort to manipulate children's values and beliefs and replace parents as the primary moral authority in their child's lives, with many critics specifically pointing to similarities with programs from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as a major point of contention. The School Superintendent's Association (AASA), with the help of superintendents, board members and school administrators, is implementing the Learning 2025 program, which calls for an equity-focused, "holistic redesign" of the United States' public education system by 2025, in districts across the country The parents' advocacy group, No Left Turn in Education (NLTE), is sounding the alarm about the curriculum's alleged ties to the CDC, especially since Learning 2025 outlines its plans as a solution to the fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic. Learning 2025 frequently references the idea of a "Whole Child" educational framework to promote the notion that school districts should focus on a collective, whole community vision that is strikingly similar to the Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child (WSCC) educational framework devised by the CDC. Both programs place a strong emphasis on students' and teachers' social and emotional health, including employee wellness programs, as well as psychological and social services like school-based health and counseling centers.

Dukes and Jackson, both with No Left Turn in Education, said parents should be concerned about how AI is being used in schools, and what information it may gather on students. Educators at over 120 school districts across the United States are in the process of implementing an education program critics believe is a top-down approach to manipulate student's values and beliefs through the embrace of government programs and a dependence on artificial intelligence and machine learning. The program, called Learning 2025, and implemented by the School Superintendent's Association, (AASA) calls for a "holistic redesign" of the United States' public education system by 2025, with an eye toward equity and technology. But districts across the country have already started rolling out the program. Critics of the program have concerns with its potential use of artificial intelligence (AI), which they say could lead to treating students like "robots."
