Seattle Public Schools is suing social media companies including TikTok and Meta, saying the tech giants' "misconduct has been a substantial factor in causing aThis mental health crisis is no accident.

The crisis affecting these children is the woke agenda being pushed by the teachers. Nothing but groomers and indoctrinators messing with the kids heads. Parents should be suing the schools

Real mental mental health crisis is why these kids are still wearing fucking masks
SPS should spend less money on grandstanding lawyers and more on counselors, nurses, teachers, and services for disabled students. Not defending the tech giants here, but SPS should look a bit closer to home first, at their own failings which are legion.
How about sue the parents!!!! They are the ones that let their kids onto these social medias.
REGIONRAT Frivolous lawsuit. Hopefully the companies counter sue for attorney fees, damage to reputation, and frivolity.
Just when I didn't think anything good could come out of Seattle.
Please ignore our decade of crippling incompetence, absolute indifference to if the students actually learn anything, or the device we could literally ban from being on campus if we choose too. The point is were greedy incompetents, and need a scapegoat for out own failure.
Children don’t use the Lamebook so is it there just as a fig leaf to sue TikTok?
Yes like the teachers woke agenda has nothing to do with it. Parents should be suing the school
Just like fast food, sugar and processed foods. Put out there freely with absolutely no education on what they do to the body until it's too late or there's an epidemic that needs to be addressed.
Maybe they should 1st look at DC and many in positions of ‘leadership’ - lying doesn’t seem to matter, physical aggression doesn’t seem to matter, nasty rhetoric & bullying doesn’t seem to matter. We need to hold many of our ‘leaders’ accountable.
More schools need to do the same. The lack of regulation for the most impressionable (kids) needs to be under scrutiny. In addition to the open radicalization of social media users.
This is true, but closing schools and making kids wear masks forever was just as big a factor.
It can’t be bad parenting or leftist teachers pushing queer gender ideology.
