Yeah there is literally no logical connection to "my kid has a smartphone" and "they are safer in case of the occurrence of this black swan event"

But the smartphone can be used as a projectile to throw at the shooter, therefore they should always have their phones on them

I'm not saying it's logical, I'm specifically saying I can see how parents wind up reacting irrationally to the idea of their kids getting randomly murdered when actual solutions like gun control don't appear to be on the table.

I don’t think my kid is safer, but I’d be so desperate for them to tell me what’s going on and if they’re alive. (To be clear, I think they should take phones away during the school day, but I feel a pang about it)
