FCC chairman leads “cruel” vote to take Wi-Fi access away from school kids

The recent decision by FCC Republicans to eliminate funding for Wi-Fi hotspot lending and Wi-Fi access on school buses has sparked outrage, particularly among educators and parents. This move is seen as detrimental to students who rely on these resources for their education, especially in underserved areas. Access to reliable internet is crucial for learning, and this vote raises concerns about equity in education, making it harder for some kids to keep up with their studies.
