Indiana's governer, Mike Braun, has signed a bill that would ban cellphones from being in school, but also require students to put them in an inaccesable location for the entire school day.

This poses a danger due to the increased amount of school shootings, and would make it harder to call authorities or student's guardians in case of an emergency.

To add onto it, the bill protects teachers from any sort of legal liability if they physically grab your phone from you, allows administrators to search you if they have suspicion that you have a phone on you (which is unconstitutional, violating our Fourth Amendment right to search and seizure), and allow for students to be expelled if they get caught with their phone on them five times.

This is far too extreme, poses a safety risk, supresses our rights, and allows for educators to basically ruin a students record via expulsion over a phone.

If we reach enough signatures, we have the potential to overturn this. Students, think about your future if this law is enacted, and parents need to think about the consequences this could have on their children.
