I love you too Greg. I look forward to talking about this with you and seeing if we can work through at least some of our disagreements.

Excellent post that really outlines the potential harms of this legislation. Thank you for writing this. Though I understand your criticism of phones in schools, I think we should empower teachers to make those decisions in their classrooms and be careful not make government mandates about cell phones in schools or pass laws making them illegal to carry on campuses (see: the many teenagers arrested for carrying beepers in the 90s). For many kids, cell phones aid in their learning by functioning as calculators, word processors, and allow for easy documentation of lesson materials like slides. Some restrictions are reasonable imo, but let’s not let the government get involved. Appreciate your article and your work defending free speech!!
