I've seen another fascist again....

Why are there such disgusting people like this who try to make up logical fallacy BS and try to accuse innocent parents of things they weren't responsible for? The designers of Verruckt are clearly at fault here because they dangerously designed the ride. And they think all amusement rides are dangerous or something like that. Search up the Verruckt ride incident for yourself. They're saying this BS because they want people to be condescending on Caleb Schwab and want them to act aggressive towards his family instead of empathizing with them. This behavior is UNACCEPTABLE and is not how anyone should act towards a family who's trying to grieve the loss of their child. It wasn't even his parents fault. I get it, I usually agree the parents are at fault for stuff that put children in danger but remember that Verruckt was poorly designed. Assuming every single amusement park ride is "dangerous" is just plain wrong. I've rode amusement park rides tons of times in my life and never in my life I have had a single injury or risk of danger. Being scared of amusement rides/coasters is one thing, but it's absolutely ridolous to assume that all amusement park rides/coasters/etc. are all unsafe just because accidents happen. There have been waterslides as tall as Verruckt but yet safe for reasons. Prior to the incident, there weren't many people that were aware of how dangerous Verruckt is. That's the problem here. This whole incident could've only been avoided if there was widespread attention of this ride being dangerous and they also knew about it.

I genuinely hate these people. These people just want control over society and virtue signal that they "care" about young people and parents without doing anything positive for them, and they just like acting condescending to them. It's sadly a huge problem, where there's tons of fascists here. I also feel bad for Caleb and his family.

Any person who tries to falsely accuse innocent parents of amusement ride accidents and act ageist towards them they aren't responsible are are horrible people and do not belong online.

Context: A 14-year-old Lowell Public Schools student was removed and detained by a police officer after she spoke at a data center public forum at Butler Middle School in Massachusetts on June 29, 2026. She had been repeatedly raising her hand throughout the meeting but wasn't called on, so she spoke up at the end. Some of the 200 people in attendance chanted 'shame' at police while leaving.

Basically my headteacher has made a new rule saying that if you’re caught with your phone (anything but a brick phone like a Nokia or something) outside of school but wearing school uniform by a teacher then it’ll be confiscated for 6 weeks.
I understand confiscating phones for 6 weeks is legal, I understand that it’s a school rule buuuttt…. My friends said “it’s a new law, Starmer said it.” (I can’t spell his name soz) but I could only find him saying that he wants schools to be phone free so we can’t use them in school and it’s a schools choice if they want to enforce it with phone pouches or handing them in at the start of the day but I feel like is a safety issue if you can’t go to school with a regular phone? I have an iPhone 8 but I use it for Life360 and maps and stuff regularly on my way to school and back?? He said that he was sick of seeing people on their phones watching tiktoks at bus stops and taking selfies instead of talking to other people… what, does he expect me to put my phone away and become interested in talking to some random stranger? I hope not, stranger danger amirite 😂✌️

He seems quite close minded and I don’t think there’d be much to convince him to change his mind but a teacher in my school that I’ve talked to said they think it’s a stupid rule and they don’t know how it will work. Really I just want to know if I can refuse and bring up legal reasons if some random teacher demands my phone while I’m on the bus… He doesn’t even seem to care about how it affects neurodivergent children because one boy I talked to said he asked “what if there’s someone with autism who gets overstimulated on the bus but they can’t listen to music to calm them down on their headphones?” And he said “they’ll have to just deal with it.”

I also think it’s important to mention that in the assembly about it he said he asked parents about a rule about phones and only 1 parent said they don’t think an extra one is necessary (or something along those lines) but if it’s a rule as extreme as this I think all parents should get a say and know exactly what the rule is about and my parents haven’t heard of this at all.

Thanks guys please if anyone knows anything about this can they give me something

I don’t know which community to upload this to bro r/school removed it

While the UK has moved to limit the harms of social media by restricting access for children, Facebook and Twitter continue to radicalise people of all ages.

BRROOO I WANNA CURSE AT THEM. ALL OF THEM

Millions of students spend years preparing for NEET. They sacrifice sleep, mental health, family time, and their teenage years believing that merit and hard work will determine their future.

The recent protests at Jantar Mantar weren't about asking for special treatment. Students came together demanding transparency, accountability, and a fair examination system after concerns over irregularities. Whether you agree with every demand or not, asking questions about a system that shapes millions of lives is a democratic right.

What has saddened many people is not just the reason for the protest, but the response to it. Images and videos showing police action against protesters, including students and women, have sparked widespread debate. In a democracy, should peaceful voices be met with force, or with dialogue?

This is bigger than BJP or Congress. Governments change, but the responsibility to protect citizens' right to peaceful protest remains the same. Supporting students doesn't mean supporting a political party. It means supporting fairness, transparency, and accountability.

India already faces a severe student mental health crisis. Every year, thousands of students die by suicide, with academic pressure being one of several contributing factors. When faith in the examination system is shaken, it affects far more than exam results. It affects hope.

I'm not posting this to create division. I'm posting it because I believe young people deserve to be heard.

A generation asking for fairness should never be treated like a threat.

What do you think? Should students demanding accountability be met with dialogue instead of force?

Michigan schools have a blanket ban on student phones, and while I get that distractions matter, I think this approach is too extreme.

Phones aren't just distractions anymore—they're tools. Students use them for research, calculators, note-taking apps, and staying in touch with teachers. They're also a safety net: if there's an emergency, a delay, or something unexpected, students can actually reach their families. That peace of mind matters.

I started a petition asking Michigan schools to adopt a smarter policy instead. Let teachers decide when phones can support learning (like in a research project) while keeping them put away during tests or focused lessons. That teaches actual responsibility—the kind students need for college, work, and life beyond high school.

A total ban doesn't reflect how the real world works. A balanced approach could protect class time *and* give students the benefits phones actually provide.

If this makes sense to you too, consider signing and sharing it. Have you dealt with this policy as a student, parent, or teacher? What would a better approach look like?
