The "isms" referenced are less about the fact you can work around these complaints line by line and more about the fact no one bothered to check them before rolling out required surveillance technology for education.

White supremacy is not just bad faith things done by bad people, it is also the assumption that whiteness is the default experience and the failure to account for that not being the case. Similarly with ableism and sexism.

That being said, complaining about the accessibility & inclusiveness of our required surveillance technology does have a dystopian feel to it, lol.

This only works with "new" definitions of racism. It is in fact plainly racist on it's face to demonize a group based on immutable characteristics. It is even worse when actual diversity of though is ignored and people of color are demonized because they don't agree with a race-marxist ideology.

I'm not sure I 100% understand what you are reacting to. I want to understand these two points a bit better:

Yes. Where have I, or the study's author, done this?
