I teach middle school and see the damage social media is doing to kids on a daily basis. It is severely impacting their social skills and their ability to learn. This is the kind of legislation that even if you think is silly is absolutely vital for securing the well being of our youth.

Parent gave kids access to social media. Takes it away due to "potential" damage and personal guilt. Prepared for bullying of kids by peers for doing so. Then posts about it on social media and does interview for national broadcaster, bringing more attention to her kids. Feels performative.
