'Ban Cellphones in all Schools': Nationwide Clash in U.S Over Kids, Screens & Social Media Addiction

Michigan Senator Elissa Slotkin has reignited the national debate on technology in education by calling for a nationwide ban on cellphones in every K-12 classroom. In a powerful speech, she warned that social media algorithms are hooking kids to extreme content, harming their focus, and destroying real-world problem-solving skills. Backed by bipartisan legislation targeting phones in military children's schools, Slotkin is demanding urgent action — not just on phones, but also on regulating AI in schools before it’s too late. Is she right to sound the alarm? Or would a full cellphone ban go too far? This video dives into the facts, expert opinions, and what’s at stake for students across the U.S. #CellphoneBan #ElissaSlotkin #USSchools #TechAddiction #K12Education #SocialMediaHarms #BipartisanBill #AIInSchools #EducationDebate #DigitalDetox #ScreenTime #MentalHealth #ProtectOurKids #SchoolPolicy ~HT.410~PR.274~
