Michigan cell phone ban proposal dies in state House

Why did Michigan's proposed ban on cell phones in schools fail?

Legislation that would vastly limit cell phone use in Michigan schools had a lot of backing by educators and lawmakers. So why did it fail?

Explained

A bipartisan school cell-phone ban — supported by parents, teachers, and even Governor Whitmer — was

blocked by House Democrats.

Instead of protecting our children and ensuring focused, distraction-free classrooms, Democrats chose to play politics. They put partisan agendas ahead of parents, teachers, and students — leaving classrooms unprotected and filled with constant interruptions.

Michigan’s kids deserve leaders who put them first.
