    “Left and right are like a gas pedal and brake,” Mr. Haidt continued. “If you have a car with just a gas pedal, just progressive, it’s going to crash in a very predictable way. And if you have a car with just a brake, well, you don’t go anywhere.”

    Even North Korea has smartphones. This moron is flying a little too close to the sun. Of all the terrible things that might actually become law someday, an all out smartphone ban isn’t one of them.
