This heavy-handed plan to cut federal funding to any school that doesn’t block all social media platforms may have good intentions—like ensuring kids are able to focus on school work when they’re behind a desk—but the ramifications of such a bill would be bleak, and it’s not clear that it would solve any actual problem.
another worrying side effect is that when school shootings happen, students won’t be able to post for help to social media
I’d think texting or something might be more effective? I’m not down with blocking kid’s abilities to find stuff at all, but has social media been used for getting help with imminent danger?
