RFK Jr Wants to Ban Cell Phones in School

Niamh Harris

Director of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr says that children should not be using cellphones in schools.

He claims they affect children’s health and their academic performance.

In an interview with Fox and Friends on Thursday Kennedy said: “Cell phone use and social media use on the cell phone has been directly connected with depression, with poor performance in schools, with suicidal ideation, with substance abuse.”

He added that they “produce electric, magnetic radiation, which has been shown to do neurological damage to kids when it’s around them all day, and to cause cellular damage and even cancer”

“And you know, other countries that have done this (banned cellphones in schools). The states that are doing this have found that it is a much healthier environment when kids are not using cell phones in schools. And the teachers loved it” he continued.

While he believes that cellphones should be kept out of schools, he also thinks that parents should be making the decision themselves.
