After our office consistently heard from student, parents, and teachers about objectionable curricula, policies, or programs affecting children, we launched the Eyes on Education portal.

Our kids need to focus on fundamental educational building blocks, not political ideology - either left or right.

Eyes on Education is a platform for students, parents, and educators to submit and view real examples from classrooms across the state.

The Office of the Attorney General will follow up on materials submitted to the portal that may violate Indiana law using our investigative tools, including public records requests, and publish findings on the portal as well.

To view examples or submit to the portal, select the school corporation and name of the school and upload your documents.

Upon submission, someone from our office may contact you for additional information or clarification.

Submissions to the portal will be reviewed and published regularly.

this is the most ridiculous rhetorical doublespeak I’ve seen in a while. kids need to focus on education, not political ideology, so let’s shove some political ideology down their throats? And, of course, the ass-covering BS logical absurdity that anything “objectionable” must, certainly, be unsafe for children.

I'm looking at some of the "legitimate" complaints on that page. Someone complained about inappropriate content... in Orwell's 1984.

Flood it with Chat GPT-3 content, super easy to generate, and it would probably create more unique content that would be harder to filter out.

Man, that form doesn't verify any contact information. It sure would be easy to flood it with genuine concern in picture format.

And just when I thought my state couldn't get much worse, we're wasting time and taxpayer money for witch hunts.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 63 points 4 months ago

I think you missed the time and taxpayer money that has already been spent on persecuting Dr. Caitlin Bernard for performing a legal abortion on a raped 10-year-old. Rokita has been doing witch hunts for a while now.

Hello fellow Hoosier, I emailed our school superintendent last year when the stupid book banning bill thing was proposed, and then passed. I wanted to know if there would be a way to tell if people requested books to be banned, so I could go out and buy them for my kid to read. (because obviously they must be read worthy)

I followed up with him recently since the bill had passed. He did, at least, inform me that no ban requests have been made. So at least in our school there wasn't some crazy people waiting to start complaining and getting books removed. There doesn't seem to be an easy way to search for banned books though which I would like to see as an option.

Can someone try to "Little Bobby Tables" them? Just put some SQL injection shit to make the servers more of a dumpster fire?

[-] Semi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.social 54 points 4 months ago

I've worked with a bunch of government agencies and the chances of a SQL injection are low. Not because they're good, but because they'll use some kind of framework to speed up development which will have injection prevention baked in.

Excuse me, but as a Hoosier, I expect you to always use the full title when discussing Mr. Rokita: Attorney General, Colossal Shitrag and Future Governor Todd Rokita.

Why yes, it does suck here.

In making the announcement on the Tony Kinnett show, livestreamed on YouTube, Rokita stated that investigators would pore over submissions and post any they believed to be credible onto a publicly viewable database.

In other words, they're not going to act on the ones that don't align with their own political ideology.

/dev/urandom can be filtered by a machine (entrophy), this should at least pass the entrophy test.

There's no louder way to telegraph that you are in the closet except by creating an anti-LGBTQ hotline. This is going to be the new Grindr.

This is like when a little boy has a crush on a girl but pretends they're disgusted by them and their cooties. I suspect there's more projecting going on here than a voice-throwing competition.
