    Beats me, I don’t live in the US.

    I stand corrected. It doesn’t include that as far as we know, on account of the bill not existing yet, not even in draft form. If you don’t mind, I’m going to ignore everything else you say now.

      It’s not. This is boomer reactionary garbage. Right up there with video games causing crime.

          Unless you’re talking about treating smart phones like cigarettes it’s not going to work the way you think it is though.

          But no instead she’s going to try and make parents buy another phone to send to school with their kids and do what with 800 dollar smart phones? What’s the enforcement mechanism?

          Are you ready for all the stories of the government confiscating expensive hardware from kids?

          And for what gain? The second the kids are out of school the smart phones will come out again. So the only advantage is inside the school itself and we already have policies that deal with that.

          This ban, especially being placed into state law, doesn’t have anywhere good to go and is just going to be the modern DARE program, teaching kids the rules don’t matter.
