To be clear, I agree with some of what you're saying. I think bans on anything are generally questionable and prefer to see individuals, children included, given agency over what they find is best for their situation. I also see the value in school choice. I also know that people are stupid, children included, and don't always act in their best interest. Hence why there's restrictions on nicotine, alcohol, and driving for youth and that generally isn't a partisan issue. However, this bill doesn't appear to specify how phones are restricted, just that there is a school policy. Further it gives protections to students who need it. This is why I find it reasonable. Schools still appear to have a choice in implementation. That said I'm not a Californian, I'm childless, and I only scanned through the bill.
