Tennessee bill to let schools ban, collect cell phones gains bipartisan support

A Tennessee bill that would authorize school districts to pass policies banning cell phone use during instructional time gained bipartisan support and unanimously passed its first House subcommittee hearing this week. 

The proposed legislation, sponsored by state Rep. Rebecca Alexander (R-Jonesborough) and state Sen. Ferrell Haile (R-Gallatin), would also allow districts to pass policies requiring students to hand over their phones at the beginning of the school day.

    We've had that policy for years in the upstate of SC, at least where our granddaughter went to school.

    Wouldn't it be cheaper and quicker to just deploy a secret cellphone jammer?

    Great idea. When I was in school I survived the 1950s without one. In addition my parents survived with a black rotary dial set on a 4 party line at that time as well. Coincidentally we had no self-promoting fags, trannies, BLMers and other mental cases then either. Life was good.
