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 â not just on phones, but also on regulating AI in schools before itâs 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 whatâs at stake for students across the U.S.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt forcefully rebutted media reports blaming the National Weather Service (NWS) for the catastrophic Texas flooding, which left at least 82 dead. In a fiery press briefing, Leavitt dismissed claims that NWS offices were understaffed or delayed in issuing warnings. âFake news,â she said, confirming San Angelo and San Antonio offices had full meteorologist teamsâ12 and 11 forecasters, respectively. She detailed that initial weather risk alerts were issued as early as July 2, with escalating warnings on July 3 and an official flood watch by 1:18 P.M. Leavitt emphasized that warnings were âearly and consistent,â despite the flood striking during early morning hours. As questions swirl over the governmentâs disaster readiness, the White House insists the systems in place worked â and that misleading narratives must stop. The press secretaryâs remarks mark a key moment in the intensifying political fallout surrounding the Texas tragedy.
