And I Was Worried about Electronic Textbooks Getting Hacked

March 11, 2022

Headline from the March 10, 2022 Post-Dispatch:

 

“Lawmakers look to give parents more school oversight”. Judging by recent events right here in Missouri, we can confidently expect to hear that the Earth is flat, the Christian God is the only one who matters, that science is an elective, and that literature is dangerous.

 

Several years ago, I wrote about the possibility that electronic textbooks could get hacked. (“Let’s Work Out the Bugs First”, Feb 2, 2012). Now I don’t have to worry about that. Education is getting hacked already.
