I’m sure the irony is lost on them that they issued this EO not even a week later… https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2025/04/22/ai-schools-executive-order-trump-draft/

I am having a lot of cognitive dissonance:

Last week: Casey's grant on AI education for American youth is terminated -- doesn't fit NSF's new "priorities".

Today: https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2025/04/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-advances-ai-education-for-american-youth/

WTAF? ☹️

We had our NEH grant on AI & digital literacy canceled as well. Granted, our take is probably less enthusiastic than our dear leader would prefer, but his minions wouldn’t have known that.
