Robot Teacher Sparks Backlash | Sydney News

A New York high school is testing a humanoid robot named Sally—costing $57K—to personalize learning, sparking outrage from teachers and locals. Critics call it “creepy” and “inappropriate,” arguing it dehumanizes education and ignores cultural sensitivities, especially since the school sits on Native American land. The robot’s maker, Realbotix, recently acquired a sex doll company, fueling skepticism. Teachers’ unions demand a pause, pushing for AI protections in contracts, insisting human connection matters more than a machine pretending to be human. The district plans to roll it out in STEM classes by fall 2026, despite the firestorm. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
