Mundo’s Cell Phone School Ban Rant… | Mundo Clip 3-31-26

I don't want to hear the whining.

I do not want to hear the whining.

I don't want to hear the complaining.

I don't.

They actually get something done for the kids into Pika.

They do something bipartisan.

And you've got whining and moaning,

especially from people in Johnson County public schools,

mostly administrators.

So we talked about this last week when it passed,

bipartisan measure,

passing that is a build a bell cell phone ban in the state of Kansas.

And this has been universally applauded

by regular people all across the state.

And by the way, Kansas, as reported yesterday by KCTV 5,

is now one of only four states in the nation

to earn an A grade for banning student cell phone

use throughout the entire school day.

Four organizations announced yesterday

that Kansas has achieved the top ranking

to their phone free schools state report card.

These organizations include the anxious generation movement,

smart phone free childhood US,

and the Institute for Families and Technology.

Governor Kelly signed the bill.

It was sponsored by Republican Senator Chase Blassey

and Democratic Senator Deena Sykes out of Linuxa.

And it got done in the state of Kansas.

I think it's the biggest win-in-to-peek

and not that there have been a lot of big wins

unless you're Clark Hunt,

but it's been the biggest win-in-to-peeker

for regular people and parents this year, not even close.

All right.

So we should all be celebrating this.

Instead, you have pieces like this from Channel 41,

headline school leaders raise budget concerns

over a Kansas cell phone ban.

I, you gotta be kidding me.

I mean, this is, this is right right where they wanna go to

is we're gonna need some money for that.

We're gonna need a few more dollars to make this work.

Here's what they're saying.

Blue Valley School Superintendent Gillian Chapman

told Channel 41 she's not against limiting distractions

but that a one-size-fits-all statewide policy ignores

what is already working locally.

We have a policy in place that works really well,

that does not cost us valuable resources.

The Blue Valley Superintendent has concerned

that the new law will require the district to use

already limited funding and resources

to create ways to collect and store devices

for hundreds or even thousands of students.

Because the mandate comes without government funding,

the cost will fall directly on the schools.

Cry me a frickin' river.

My goodness.

They have no self-awareness.

They have none.

They are so caught up in their little bubbles

that they can't see the forest through the trees, man,

for a second.

They have no ability to do it.

All you have to do is figure out how to get the phones

out of the kids' hands when they get into school

and get out of school.

And guess what?

Yeah, I looked it up on the Kansas opengov.org website.

I mean, they've got, at the Blue Valley School District

alone.

Several dozen employees make 150 grand a year.

Take one of them, put them in charge of a room

where the cell phones are stored,

and then figure out a way to get them back

to the kids at the end of the school day.

That's it.

Need a place to store them.

Just keep them in your pocket, kid.

Well, no, you got to give them up.

You got to give them up.

That's the point.

Well, you're not supposed to use them.

No, no, no.

You got to unload them somewhere.

Unfortunately, you have to do that.

I guess, right?

I got a bunch of chewy boxes from the cat food.

I get every two weeks that are piling up in my house.

We can store them in my chewy box.

That's, yes.

That's what I mean.

Each class gets its own chewy box, okay?

Yeah.

You walk into school, you throw them in the boxes,

and you pick them up at the end of the day.

And you put a couple of administrators in charge

of the room where the cell phones are

to make sure no one's stealing phones.

That's it.

I mean, I know I'm oversimplifying this,

but I'm doing it to make a point here.

These school districts that are just whining about,

oh, boy, the cell phone plan.

How are we going to fund this whole thing?

I'm looking at the numbers here, okay?

You've got a lot of highly paid administrators

who probably have a little bit of free time in their day

to help figure out how to make this work.

And instead of saying, wow, you know what?

Even if you already have a policy like this,

it's great that the state of Kansas does something

for the kids to get the phones out of their hands during the day.

And now, by the way, you don't have to listen

to the mother who insists that her kid

have their phone on them all day complain.

You can say it's state law, ma'am,

I'm sorry, there's nothing we can do about it.

You can now, I don't want to say hide behind state law,

but you can justify good policy by now using state law.

Instead of having some crazy mom yelling at the poor secretary

in the school district, this is fantastic news.

And if you're immediate reaction, if you're an administrator,

and I mean, I don't know what the blue valley

superintendent's making, she's new this year.

I know the last superintendent,

Tony American was clearing 440 grand a year,

which, you know, whatever, God bless her, this is America.

But you look at the blue valley school district

and do not tell me you don't have the resources for something.

I'd nobody wants to hear that, okay?

Everybody's property taxes are to the moon right now.

And a lot of that's going to you

and to have the balls to go on and talk on local TV

about not having the resources for something in blue valley.

My goodness, the audacity from some of these people

is truly disgusting, unbelievable.

With that, we wrap up a tirade Tuesday.

Yeah, I guess we extended tirade Tuesday this morning.

There's a bonus round.

At just, oh my gosh, that just really just ticks me off.

It really does.

I'm gonna piss now.

Full send golf.

You guys know how much I really, really love golf.

I think every week would be dope to post on the golf channel.

I want to get a lot of guests on here.

So, Liam's gonna take leave.

I'm down to being it.

It's not really work to play golf.

Join the party on the golf course.

I was like, let's go to the range.

So, what are we putting on it?

We said 10k, right?

10k.

We probably bet more than all the other golf channels, right?

10k, 9 holes.

Those guys bet for like cooking stuff.

I'm gonna shank it.

This guy's been trading like a Navy SEAL when it comes to golf.

I'm very, very excited.

You excited?

Full send golf.
