St. Louis Morning Brief: Illinois Finally Bans School Cell Phones, a Teacher's Tragic Death Gets a Stunning Twist & Carnival Violence Hits Close to Home

The St. Louis Morning Brief is packed this morning and none of it is small talk. Illinois just followed Missouri's lead and banned cell phones in schools bell to bell — but buried in the fine print is an exception that raises serious questions about assimilation. Then, the heartbreaking story of a St. Charles teacher killed after a Point Fest crowd surfer accident takes a stunning turn — her family reveals the kick may have actually saved them from a far more devastating goodbye. And a local carnival near Mid Rivers Mall turned ugly fast when a laser pointer sparked a brawl that sent kids to the hospital with broken bones while bystanders filmed it for social media likes instead of calling for help. This is the St. Louis news the networks gloss over — and the Marc Cox Morning Show brings it home every single morning.
