Because if anyone thinks those drones are just going to sit in a dock until they are 'needed', well, I want whatever they are smoking.

Those things are going to be on station every day, constantly watching over the kids who are outside, whether they are doing anything or not. They will be spying on the teachers mostly, to make sure they are not doing 'woke' things like paying attention to the kids, listening to them and their problems, and trying to help them with their learning.

Isn't it amazing that the teacher in 'The Wall' is exactly the kind of teacher that these rethugs seem to want these days. I seem to remember that things did not end well for said teacher, and they will not end well for those who want to interject their fascist ideology into our educational system. The rethugs don't seem to remember this. Or they just don't care.
