Summit Learning Platform Backed by Mark Zuckerberg Suggests Schools Spy On Parents

- News -


Summit Learning, a digital learning platform funded by the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, recommended that schools monitor some parents' online activity, such as their critical, public comments on Facebook groups.


An online discussion group for summit learning stated: "Parents may create groups on Facebook or other online forums to discuss Summit Learning. These groups have been used to build a campaign against Summit Learning," On this point, Summit suggested schools watch for "groups with critical names."


The digital platform is used by hundreds of schools around the U.S. and was developed, in part, by Facebook engineers who continued to work with the platform until Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan's organization entered into the partnership in 2017.
