BREAKING: Robert Kennedy Jr says he will work to get cell phones out of schools: “Cell phones produce electric magnetic radiation, which has been shown to do neurological damage to kids when it's around them all day.”

Readers added context

Despite widely circulated conspiracies and some tests on rats, there is no evidence in humans that cell phone radiation negatively impacts young people. Excessive screen time on the other hand have been proven to be problematic. cancer.gov/about-cancer/c… frontiersin.org/journals/commu… Screen time: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10…. aacap.org/AACAP/Families…

we need to make lead-plated phone cases for the kids ASAP

Yeah, we should just paint it on the walls to block all the dangerous signals.

As long as both distributaries of a river lead to the same sea, I guess it's a win regardless of which one you take?

He had me for a second until I read the rest of his statement. Just utterly embarrassing.

Yeah, but phones shouldn't be in schools... But for like other reasons lmao

There are some good arguments for keeping kids off cell phones, so of course RFK Jr ignores all of them to once again show he’s a complete lunatic.

It's funny when someone is completely wrong about their reasoning, but what they want to do is probably correct policy.

Can I get a Drake meme for this? A Vince McMahon meme could work too.

It'll be extremely funny if he ends up doing good completely by accident

There are many good arguments to be made for doing this... This is not one.

Haidt is right there

Remove phones so students can concentrate. Leave out the conspiracies.

Next they’re gonna start promoting SCIFs for classrooms. Both bulletproof and signal proof. Combatting two crises w/ one stone.

Lmaoooo yeah he believes some wild shit

Does it really matter how we get them out?

Actually one thing from him I support. We have done this in New Zealand, and it works

Sounds like a job for the Deparment of Education. Oh, wait.

Shit, I need to listen to Butterfly.

here I think about the kids in the last school shooting -- where they managed to say one last goodbye to their parents in text but sure ban the phones instead of having red-flag laws

Finally a sane voice working towards healthy public policy. Why did we have to wait for someone to be pushed to the Republican party to finally get cell phones out of schools. Insanity.
