Parents & School Boards Rally Together to Ban Smartphones in the Classroom | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

A new study says a majority of National Education Association members want to ban smartphones in the classroom. According to a recent survey, 90% of NEA members support school policy prohibiting cell phone or personal devices during instructional time. As students go back to school across the country, the Parents Television and Media Council is joining the calls to ban smartphones and what it calls "digital distractions". Vice President of the Parents Television and Media Council, Melissa Henson, joins to tell us more about this study from the NEA and why her group supports these findings. Henson shares how this ban on smartphones in schools would work and whether students would have to keep their phones in a locker. Henson fills us in on any final thoughts. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
