This has led many to look for solutions in other places. For many, that answer lies in tech, a sector that chronically believes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.popularmechanics.com\/technology\/a22150734\/elon-musks-mad-mini-submarine-didnt-help-thai-cave-rescue\/\"><span class=\"s2\">it can help, even if help isn\u2019t asked for<\/span><\/a>. While some efforts seem promising, one solution has simultaneously grown in popularity while coming under fire from privacy rights activists and parents. Facial recognition software\u2014along with a slew of cameras\u2014was purchased for the sum of $1.4 million by the Lockport City School District in New York. The Magnolia School District in Arkansas made a similar move earlier this year, as did an after school center in Bloomington, IN, the city of Springfield, MA, the University of Calgary, and many others.\u00a0And this week, the founder of RealNetworks, Rob Glaser, announced that he had developed facial recognition software which he will <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/realnetworks-facial-recognition-technology-schools\/\"><span class=\"s2\">make available to schools for free<\/span><\/a>. There\u2019s only one issue: many say it has no power to stop school shooters.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1>Stopping School Shooters with Facial Recognition<\/h1>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Advocates and face recognition software vendors say that it can detect the likenesses of criminals, gang members, blacklisted community members, sex-offenders, expelled students, non-custodial parents, and others. Once detected, the system can alert administrators and local law enforcement of their presence. <\/span><span class=\"s1\">Many smart recognition software products are also programmed to detect guns. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Here\u2019s the problem: almost every single school shooter since 1998 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/business\/economy\/unproven-facial-recognition-companies-target-schools-promising-an-end-to-shootings\/2018\/06\/07\/1e9e6d52-68db-11e8-9e38-24e693b38637_story.html?utm_term=.ea757ede2d85\">has been a matriculating student<\/a>. And when they walked into school, they tended to have their weapon concealed. As Rachel Levin-Waldman, security and policing expert at the Brennan Center for Justice, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/realnetworks-facial-recognition-technology-schools\/\">told Wired<\/a>, \u201cThese are students for whom the school wouldn\u2019t have a reason to have their face entered into the face recognition system\u2019s blacklist.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7267\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7267\" style=\"width: 728px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-7267\" src=\"https:\/\/news.elearninginside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/steve-harvey-718927-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"school buses\" width=\"728\" height=\"486\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7267\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Steve Harvey, Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h1>A Quagmire of Concerns<\/h1>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">And for all its merits\u2014or lack thereof\u2014facial recognition software comes with some serious tradeoffs. The expensive price tags notwithstanding, scaling this solution throughout entire school districts presents a security and privacy nightmare. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Shortly after the Magnolia School District announced their plans this spring, the local chapter of the ACLU quickly responded with concern. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cAll of us want schools to be safe, but subjecting students to an unproven, costly, and intrusive biometric surveillance system is not the answer,\u201d said Rita Sklar, ACLU of Arkansas executive director, in a statement. \u201cThese kinds of facial recognition systems are also vulnerable to hacking and abuse \u2013 compromising students\u2019 privacy and diverting money away from other pressing educational needs. Communities and schools need to think hard about what type message they are sending to our kids when they monitor them in school like they were prisoners in a detention facility. We urge the Magnolia School Board, and all Arkansas school districts, to avoid these expensive, harmful gimmicks and consider more sensible approaches to keeping schools safe.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">And besides concerns over efficacy and student privacy, some believe that these facial recognition software companies are simply capitalizing on parents\u2019, teachers\u2019, and administrators\u2019 fears. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">As law professor at the University of the District of Columbia, Andrew Ferguson, told the Washington Post, \u201cThese companies are taking advantage of the genuine fear and almost impotence of parents who want to protect their kids, and they\u2019re selling them surveillance technology at a cost that will do very little to protect them.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In a separate interview <a href=\"https:\/\/theintercept.com\/2018\/05\/30\/face-recognition-schools-school-shootings\/\">with the Intercept<\/a>, Ferguson described how these efforts are lacking in perspective. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cIn a time when we cannot afford to pay our teachers a decent wage,\u201d he said, \u201cI cannot fathom any school district paying money for this type of security theater.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\"><em>Cover Image: Fracesco Mazzoli, Unsplash.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With each new school shooting, the debate around gun control typically resurfaces and subsequently goes nowhere.
