  HHS Secretary Kennedy supports banning cellphones in schools, claiming, without evidence, they cause neurological harm in children.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a Democratic presidential candidate, has proposed banning cellphones in schools to address issues like bullying, distraction, and mental health among students. His comments, made during an interview on Fox News, have sparked significant backlash. Critics argue that his stance oversimplifies complex issues related to technology in education. They point out that cellphones can be useful tools for learning, emergency communication, and fostering digital literacy. Furthermore, some see his proposal as out of touch with modern educational needs and potentially discriminatory, as it might disproportionately affect students who rely on phones for various reasons, including safety and access to educational resources. The debate highlights the ongoing tension between technology's role in education and its potential negative impacts on youth.
