Romney, Murphy Unveil Bill to Keep Smartphones Out of the Classroom
Senators Romney and Murphy (D-CT) introduced the Smart Kids Not Smartphones Act, bipartisan legislation aimed at reducing the usage of smartphones by children in the classroom. The legislation would establish a non-competitive, non-monetary recognition award program—administered by the Department of Education—to highlight and celebrate any school that has and enforces a policy prohibiting the use of smartphones by students during instructional hours.
