A Massachusetts couple claims that their son's high school attempted to derail his future by giving him detention and a bad grade on an assignment he wrote using generative AI.

An old and powerful force has entered the fraught debate over generative AI in schools: litigious parents angry that their child may not be accepted into a prestigious university.

In what appears to be the first case of its kind, at least in Massachusetts, a couple has sued their local school district after it disciplined their son for using generative AI tools on a history project. Dale and Jennifer Harris allege that the Hingham High School student handbook did not explicitly prohibit the use of AI to complete assignments and that the punishment visited upon their son for using an AI tool—he received Saturday detention and a grade of 65 out of 100 on the assignment—has harmed his chances of getting into Stanford University and other elite schools.

Yeah, I'm 100% with the school on this one.

Over the next 30 days, Blinken and Austin said Israel must allow 350 aid trucks a day into Gaza. The UN World Food Programme (WFP) said none have entered the strip in October so far and most aid organisations estimate that around 700 trucks a day are needed to meet basic survival needs.

The language in the letter suggests a tougher line than Washington has previously taken, although White House National Security Communications Advisor John Kirby insisted in a call with journalists on Tuesday that “the letter was not meant as a threat”. Kirby also added that it simply reiterated a position the administration had communicated to Israel in the past.

“From a humanitarian perspective, a 30-day deadline is basically a death sentence, especially for those in northern Gaza that are facing famine,” Natasha Hall, a senior fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), told Middle East Eye.

With three weeks remaining until the US presidential election, Miller pushed back against suggestions that the timing of the letter was designed to shift attention to the new president-elect by the time the deadline arrives.

The US has spent much of the past year taking credit for what Palestinians say is highly inadequate aid reaching Gaza. The Biden administration attempted to build a humanitarian pier for goods off Gaza’s coast, but it failed and was dismantled due to weather conditions. It also tried airdrops, which proved deadly as recipients had to wade into deep water to retrieve the packages.
