Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan faced backlash for running an unlicensed school at their home in Palo Alto, California. This unveiling comes as they also faced criticism for closing two educational institutions serving low-income families. The homemade school began during the COVID-19 pandemic and persisted after, catering to their children and others. Local officials confirmed the operation was illegal, which led to the school's relocation. Public reaction on social media was highly negative, condemning the couple's perceived disregard for rules and their influence in the education space.
Neighbors discovered the school after observing parents dropping off and picking up children at the house. They reported the sightings to city officials, who confirmed that Zuckerberg was operating a school without filing the proper legal paperwork.
Zuckerberg and Chan are under fire for closing two schools for low-income families and for Zuckerberg's Meta allowing its AI chatbots to have 'spicy' conversations with children and teenagers.
The incidents underscore a common complaint that Zuckerberg, one of the richest men in the world, and his fellow tech bros tend to operate above society's unspoken and agreed-upon rules.
Users on social media were incensed with the revelations about Zuckerberg's home, the closure of the low-income schools that the power couple was funding, and the inappropriate conversations that Meta's AI chatbots were allowed to have with kids.
