No Big Tech Bullies in Our Schools Protest, November 11
Google told schools to accept its AI or lose Google Search, and a new lawsuit was filed against Google for the harm done via its "AI Mode" embedded in search products. On Wednesday, Nov. 11, parents are rallying at Google offices nationwide to say: educators and families should shape our kids’ classrooms, not Big Tech. Find a rally near you, bring your kids and a sign, and join us!
Why This Action Matters
Last week, Google told schools across the country to lift their AI bans or lose access to Google Search. The next day, a family filed a lawsuit alleging that Google’s Gemini AI, built into the education products on their 13-year-old daughter’s school Chromebook, pushed her into a mental health crisis that nearly cost her her life.
Parents have had enough. On Wednesday, November 11, families in six cities are showing up at Google’s front door with one message: educators and families should shape our kids’ classrooms, not Big Tech.
Join us! Bring your kids, your friends and a sign. Every rally is parent-organized and family-friendly, and every person who shows up makes a difference.

Why we’re rallying
- Google is strong-arming schools. Google gave schools an ultimatum to accept its AI or lose Google Search, sparking backlash from parents, teachers and experts.
- Kids are getting hurt. A new lawsuit alleges that Google slipped Gemini AI into its K-12 products without families knowing, with devastating results for one 13-year-old girl.
- The promised benefits haven’t shown up. Chromebooks, Google Classroom and now Gemini are everywhere in our schools, but there’s no evidence they’ve improved learning. Meanwhile test scores are falling, AI teaching tools are full of errors, students are being surveilled, and the youth mental health crisis keeps getting worse.
- Families and educators should decide. We’re calling on school boards and elected officials to stop letting Big Tech have more say in our public schools than the people who know our kids best.
What to bring
- A sign. Homemade is perfect. Need ideas? “Our Kids Are Not Your Beta Testers,” “Teachers, Not Tech Giants” or “Ask Parents, Not Algorithms.”
- Your kids. Many students are off school for Veterans Day, so bring them along.
- Your neighbors. Ten parents with signs is a story. Fifty is a movement.
Can’t make it? You can still help
- Share this page with parents in your school community.
- Post on social media and to your local chat groups
- Email your school board or superintendent and ask what AI tools are running on your child’s school devices.
