Classroom cellphone ban bill passes Senate, heads to TN governor’s desk
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — A bill that will require school districts to adopt policies that ban the use of cellphones during class has now passed the Tennessee Senate and will head to Gov. Bill Lee for his signature.
Bills like this are past due, and Well Done Tennessee. Cells should be banned during school hours period, not just during class time. Parents can call the front office like they did for decades, the kids don't need their phones.
I hope there are requirements in the bill that any pavement ape who acts out when their cell phone goes in a locker is expelled, and likewise if someone smuggles one into school.
Because bottom-feeder 'activist' lawyers will sue a school district who enacted the policy in a heartbeat as soon as the first ape gets punished, regardless of how many other students are punished first. Now, they have to sue the State of Tennessee, who isn't going to settle.
No, but they will lose, and have to cover court costs as well.
Surely I would think this is why schools can issue detention and suspend students. If neither of these deterents will work, why do you think an ignorant law will do any better?

No idea why the state has to get involved in it, other than because they shouldn't and they can. Leave it up to the schools.
