This smells a bit like an orphan crushing machine. Is this just a private company offloading moderation duties onto already overworked public school teachers?

Maybe, although my first thought was that it is for overzealous administrators to police students outside of school.

  Yup, hadn’t thought of that. Sigh.

  More encroachment on First Amendment rights. Schools have argued successfully that they have jurisdiction over children outside of school if what they “say” outside of school makes it back and causes a “disruption.”
  
  This is ripping the mask off of that final push. I’m not sure what the goal is here, but the effect is that children will have no right to privacy and will face active punishment for thought crime from the age they start school.
  
  I mean, they’re already doing this but now even harder
