Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin has signed an executive order to cut back on cellphone use in K-12 public schools, arguing that it is harmful for students.
"The necessity of implementing cell-phone free education in Virginia’s K-12 public schools is increasingly evident," Youngkin wrote in the order. "Parents, public health professionals, educators, and other stakeholders across the Commonwealth are expressing concern over the alarming mental health crisis and chronic health conditions affecting adolescents, such as depression and anxiety, driven in part by extensive social media usage and widespread cell phone possession among children.

"Cellphone-free education will significantly reduce the amount of time students can be on phones without parental supervision," he added.
