      I don’t think guns and phones in school are even the same conversation to be honest. I think that’s my trouble with the other commenter’s approach to the conversation.

        Gotcha it is once again not time to talk about gun control.

        We should go back to talking about Tik Tok. The real threat to children.

          That’s not what I’m trying to say. The article is about cell phone policy in schools. The discussion got into gun control because Melkath feels like cell phones should be universally allowed in schools because kids should be able to call their parents during school shootings.

          I’m eager to talk about gun control. I’m also eager to talk about cell phones in school.

          I fail to see how gun violence in schools is at all related to cell phone policies in school. The attempt to link them together, as if cell phones must exist in schools because we can’t deal with gun violence, is laughable.

          Edit: also I never mentioned TikTok.
