What's at Stake

Social media is hurting our children's mental health and focus. SB 1128 gives schools clearer authority to limit it during school hours — let's support it.

CFC Analysis

SB 1128 amends the Education Code to allow school authorities to establish voluntary 'Wait Until 8th' programs encouraging students and parents to delay social media use until at least eighth grade, without mandating participation or authorizing monitoring of students' online activities.
