The article covers that, simple devices that don't have Internet are allowed.

Buying a kid a smartphone for normal life AND a dumbphone for school sounds expensive. A lot of kids in America can't even afford lunch, how are they supposed to own two phones??

What phone doesn't have internet anymore?

Edit: Wait, I get it. So now kids have their at home phone AND their parents also pay for their "you're at school so this is how you get us your last words in the event of a shooting" phone.

Again, genius.

Parents needing to pay MORE money they don't have and kids have ANOTHER reminder of how their job is basically to obey AND very possibly be killed while obeying.

So much better of a solution instead of MOTHER FUCKING GUN CONTROL.
