Fuck that. If you can't stop schools from getting shot up, banning phones is the wrong move.

Phone use can be "banned" while allowing them to have phones on their person for emergencies.

Just banning them being out.

That's already school policy in every school, and has been for literally decades now.

You don't need a law for that.

Exactly, people are at gunpoint, and yet this post is filled with slippery-slope propaganda. Its classic Lemmy, too unrestrained to realise discrimination applies everywhere.
