  • It would be nice if we could all be afforded the opportunity to record our last words before we die, but that’s not exactly how it works. On 9/11/01, we did not have technological wonders in our pockets for those poor people to use to record their last moments. So what would you have argued for then? What is it that makes you think kids these days are so special that they somehow deserve to be afforded something more?

    There is countless senseless death all around us every day. You need to accept that.

    Don’t force phones into schools because you can’t accept the grim world in which we live. Hate me all you want for it, but your argument is thin.


  • That’s not what I’m trying to say. The article is about cell phone policy in schools. The discussion got into gun control because Melkath feels like cell phones should be universally allowed in schools because kids should be able to call their parents during school shootings.

    I’m eager to talk about gun control. I’m also eager to talk about cell phones in school.

    I fail to see how gun violence in schools is at all related to cell phone policies in school. The attempt to link them together, as if cell phones must exist in schools because we can’t deal with gun violence, is laughable.

    Edit: also I never mentioned TikTok.
