    Kids spend far too much time in school on their phones. This is simply true.

    Counter point to this tho: Kids go to school knowing a shooting can happen at any time and need to have their phones for if that happens.

    I can’t support restricting phones before we restrict firearms.

      Sort of agree?

      Yeah, guns must be banned completely in the US, fully agree, but phones in class too. Waiting with one for the other won’t make anything better

      Why don’t they just have rules like we did years ago. Have your phone out in class and you get a lunch detention, next time a detention, 3rd time sent to the office with a recommendation for suspension.

      Kids have to learn to be responsible… They will have their phone on them everywhere else in life, like work. Learning to be responsible about it seems like education.

      When I was in school every room had a landline phone that could make calls both within the building and externally. Is this not the case now? What advantage does it give for everyone to have a phone? Wouldn’t that just create more variables, chaos and panic to deal with during an actual emergency?

        Calling/texting 911

        Letting authorities know where they and/or the shooter is in the building

        Even filming and documenting it is important after cunts like Alex Jones convinced an entire political party that all school shootings are fake, Jewish and Illuminati psyops to take away their guns.
