It’s disappointing but not surprising to see so many people (on lemmy) willing to violently control children and their access to tech, information, etc.
Come off it, not being allowed to be on your cell phone during school hours isn’t the same as KOSA.
The APA document you linked even specifically discusses the effects of social media (what do you think they’re using their phones for?) on mental health.
I always wonder what kind of experiences people like this had in their life to reach such a state of delusion. They also claimed schools were “literally mini-prisons that feed into into actual prison” and suggested that asking students to pay attention in class was “authoritarianism”.
Ironically, I had friends in school who had come from juvy. I guess you could say prision fed into school instead? I’d love to ask them their opinions on that statement though and see how similar to prison school really was.
As far as I can tell, that person is just rage baiting. If they genuinely believe school is the same as prison, having visited one myself (not for myself), all I can say is they should actually visit one and see for themselves what a prison is actually like.
Even if they had a terrible experience in school and it genuinely felt like prison, most of us got through school absolutely fine with no long-term issues. You have to be seriously removed from reality to think all children hate school and turn into young adults with severe trauma because of it.

It’s pretty telling when people don’t want to do anything about the many other much bigger causes of psychological harm. Where’s the law that stops cops from harassing minority youth? Yeah right.
Peeps are literally upvoting Ron DeSantis. Fascism is not the goal here. Wake up, y’all.

Christ almighty, that was dramatic.
Not being able to use your cell phone for the duration of the school day is fascism.
Fascinating.
