You don't get phone-free schools in a post-Uvalde world.

  There's always a market for dumb phones.

  Indiana literally just banned phones from schools state-wide this month.

    Same with The Netherlands (not legally, but all schools have agreed to implement these rules).

  I skimmed the wikipedia article on the event[1] but I don't see anything that explains the role of kid's phones in the event. Can you elaborate? [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uvalde_school_shooting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uvalde_school_shooting

    In short, the police department's involvement (or lack thereof) has made parents feel that they can't rely on the police to communicate or coordinate during a mass shooting.

Americans might not get phone-free schools but others in places that have their shit together on gun regulations and police corruption/incompetence will.

  Maybe freeing kids from the grip of social media addiction prevents future Uvaldes?
