Did School Cellphone Bans Work & Utah's VPN Users

A new New York Times study examines whether school cellphone bans actually improve student behavior and learning. The findings show mixed results, with some schools seeing better focus and fewer disruptions, while others report little change, raising questions about how effective bans are without broader classroom and cultural support.  Utah has become the first U.S. state to target VPN use under a new age‑verification law aimed at restricting minors’ access to online content. The law requires platforms to verify users’ ages and puts pressure on VPN services that could be used to bypass those checks, raising concerns about privacy, enforcement, and whether the policy will survive legal challenges.  Please Like, Comment and Follow 'Philip Teresi on KMJ' on all platforms: ---     Philip Teresi on KMJ is available on the KMJNOW app, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever else you listen to podcasts.  -- Philip Teresi on KMJ Weekdays 2-6 PM Pacific on News/Talk 580 AM & 105.9 FM KMJ  | Website  | Facebook | Instagram | X | Podcast | Amazon | - Everything KMJ KMJNOW App | Podcasts | Facebook | X | Instagram  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
