Calls for cell phone-free education in our K-12 schools

The cold hard truth is, cell phones are damaging the developing minds of our young people. Last year, I issued Executive Order 33, calling for cell phone-free education in our K-12 schools. This year, every school division will have cell phone-free environments in their classrooms, with 100 school divisions, bell to bell. In fact, many divisions across the state that attempted half-measures found they didn't work and have now gone bell-to-bell.

Prohibit tech companies from selling children's data

We can also choose commonsense when it comes to social media, and the ever-growing threat that the Chinese Communist Party poses to our national security, our privacy and our way of life in Virginia. We know that our children use technology at an unthinkable, breakneck pace. But the data of our teenagers should not be used and manipulated by big tech companies. I'm asking you to pass a bill that prohibits tech companies from selling the data of children under the age of 18. Source: 2023 State of the State Address to the Virginia legislature , Jan 11, 2023
