Former Republican Senator Rick Santorum pushed back against Hillary Clinton's recent op-ed advocating for K-12 digital literacy education and classroom cellphone bans. His comments to Mediaite highlight concerns over government control affecting educational content and the stifling of diverse perspectives. Clinton, along with Jim Steyer, champions initiatives like the SAFE For Kids Act that aims to enhance children's online safety, including banning cellphones in classrooms and regulating social media. Santorum frames such government involvement as detrimental, particularly for culturally conservative viewpoints.
As we have witnessed over the past four years, government control of information resulted into hyper-partisan education for children and the stifling of viewpoints online that do not comport with leftist ideology.
Clinton and Steyer wrote, arguing that now is the time to build on that progress in three areas critical to kids' online safety.
