A tech billionaire and Trump donor bankrolled an "AI focused" private school that costs $50,000+ a year. Kids are allegedly hooked to heart monitors while being criticized, and fail if their heartrate increases too much. They work unpaid "dirty" jobs like scrubbing toilets or manual labor, and strangely have required follower quotas on social media. This is Alpha School, the billionaire-funded AI academy Trump's Education Secretary came to tour.

We spoke with Benjamin Riley, founder of Cognitive Resonance, an education think tank, who is investigating what he believes are many improprieties.
