Abbott calls for elimination of screen time in Texas classrooms
Abbott was speaking to the Moms for Liberty when he touted an "extraordinarily consequential" law that came out of the 2025 legislative session that banned cellphones in classrooms.
"After it got implemented, administrators, teachers, parents and students all love it, because now we have restored that communication among kids in school," Abbott said.
Abbott says he wants to eliminate screen time in Texas classrooms
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said that he wants screen time in classrooms eliminated, saying 1-on-1 time with teachers is better.
The Republican seeking reelection for a third time and a historic fourth term said he wants to expand the technology ban during the next legislative session.
"We’re going to be eliminating and reducing screen time in classrooms for students, and getting back to true education," Abbott said.
