I think it would be a bit odd to see a school district suing drug dealers. Seeing as weed is legal in Seattle, could/should the Seattle public schools sue local [state-]legal weed stores for selling product that will inevitably find their way into the hands of teenagers? I suppose they could, but it would be surprising to see.

This said, I have a special hatred for TikTok so I wish the Seattle schools good luck in their crazy endeavor.

Yet, South Carolina schools suing e-cigarette manufactures:

Legally it kind of makes sense because schools have a responsibility to ensure the welfare of children. Thus kids vaping or checking TickTok at school is a problem for the school system. But they also list “increased security staff time spent addressing discipline and supervision issues, and increased counselor time spent speaking to addicted students about this epidemic.”

I think if there were evidence of targeting children with advertising, deliberately locating near schools or other intent, then yes, you could see a lawsuit.
