I think it is pretty scammy to be stealing student data from the time the kids start school, often at 5-years-old!! If not scammy, scummy.

Absolutely. It's big business though: we all know this company we shall not name that is currently valued at $300bln that has this as their primary business model too.
Can we still fight it? I'm fighting the tron scammers, but the big fish? Are they immune?

The only way to fight it is to not give them the data in the first place. If the schools involved suddenly lost most of their students, they would go out of business or be forced to close. People do not have to vote to bond these co-conspirators, either. I consider it a crime for them to be selling that data and according to a lot of laws, it is.
