[partial quote follows] "Americans are experimenting with methods similar to China’s social credit system. By tracking student movements and regulating faculty to standards of political correctness, they risk socializing young people to the methods of high-tech authoritarian state control. Syracuse University, the University of North Carolina and others are installing wi-fi apps and Bluetooth devices to monitor class attendance and visits to libraries, recreation centers, dining halls and potentially every other campus location. These create profiles that faculty and administrators can use to reward good learning habits, flag mental health issues, and impel students to modify personal habits to norms of model student behavior." ---------------------------- I wonder if anyone criticized Orwell, saying something like, 'That kind of thing couldn't happen here'. (whereever 'here' happened to be for that person.) Probably quite frequently. Jim Bell
