Drones in schools: A dystopian delusion
FO Take · Score 10

Arming schools with drones is a grotesque capitulation to fear, not a solution. It transforms learning sanctuaries into surveillance states, fostering anxiety rather than security. This technological arms race is a moral and pedagogical failure. When did we decide children are soldiers in a war zone, not students deserving peace?

The strongest counter

Drones offer an immediate, visible deterrent to potential threats, providing an extra layer of security and rapid response capabilities in critical situations. Prioritising student safety justifies innovative measures.
