On one hand: this seems 100% to go against the first amendment. If this were across the state, any device government, personal, or whatever, I don’t see how this ban can stand.

On the other hand: these are government devices. I know on the laptop my employer provides, I’m lucky to install half the things I need for work, let alone something like TikTok. There’s zero way that would fly.

I get that teachers want to use it per the article, but there are alternatives for that if their employer decides to not allow that avenue.

Also, the privacy angle really should have been the first attempt taken here. There’s definitely precedent for that approach in other states and the EU.
