Federal crackdown targets school internet subsidies amid ed-tech backlash

Original: Feds target school internet subsidies in ed-tech backlash even as Trump touts AI

Federal authorities are moving to cut school internet subsidies as part of a wider backlash against education technology spending, even as President Donald Trump promotes artificial intelligence initiatives. The tension highlights a split in policy: shrinking support for classroom connectivity and ed-tech programs while pushing AI adoption nationally. Schools that rely on subsidized internet access could face funding gaps if the crackdown proceeds.

Why now: A conflict between federal spending cuts on school technology and Trump's AI push is drawing attention to education policy.
