Americans might not get phone-free schools but others in places that have their shit together on gun regulations and police corruption/incompetence will.

Indiana literally just banned phones from schools state-wide this month.

Same with The Netherlands (not legally, but all schools have agreed to implement these rules).

There's always a market for dumb phones.

Maybe freeing kids from the grip of social media addiction prevents future Uvaldes?

I skimmed the wikipedia article on the event[1] but I don't see anything that explains the role of kid's phones in the event. Can you elaborate?

In short, the police department's involvement (or lack thereof) has made parents feel that they can't rely on the police to communicate or coordinate during a mass shooting.
