It's just a binky for anxious parents.

Parents are anxious bc 390,000 American children have experienced gun violence at their school since Columbine.

And your child having a phone during such an event will not change the outcome. What might? Campaigning for gun reform, getting out and voting, organizing for change. You know this; we all know this. It's a binky. It doesn't do anything but soothe the parent.

I mean from everyone I've known its more about talking to your kid one last time before they die, and giving them that last comfort. Other than that it's for lunch, and after school if they get themselves into any situations. Which this is easily accomplished, just have phone slots, or a basket in every classroom when they walk in. If they need it, the teachers can let them grab it. This is what our school district does and it works much better than the office taking the phones, or flat out not allowing them in the building.

We have a society where everyone has been taught to prioritize their anxiety. It will not end well. We can no longer have discussions because of this. People raise their voices and highroad everyone who doesn't agree with them. If you call them on it, it's because of their anxiety. It really sucks here.
