    So… 100,000 parents decided they didn’t want to parent and would rather the “guvment” do the parenting for them and for the rest of the country?..

    This would be equivalent of not letting under-14s into libraries or read anything practically for that matter in 1900s. Phones are not just used for social media or gaming, you are limiting the conversation abilities, accessibility of information, and freedom

      Luckily they’re not banning tablets or laptops or tethering or even WiFi. Early teens should figure all that out in a jiffy.

      phones are made for mindless media consumption. just look at the home screen of a factory resetted phone. facebook, instagram, tiktok, and other literal garbage too is not just installed, but pinned to the home screen by default

    If they ban smart phones, how will I teach my children to worship Satan?

    I guess I might still have my D&D books somewhere around.

    (This is a sarcastic reference to a judges excellent comparison. Also, I know exactly where my D&D books are. Also, I haven’t gotten to the Satan worship yet, if it is in my D&D books. Maybe I missed a rule.)

    Kids these days and their phones be brainwashing them into the evil woke agenda and their LGBTQIA+ nonsense and turning my kids and their pet frogs gay, ban these phones immediately. Good riddance. /s
