I think I actually agree with this. I'm libertarian and generally believe fewer restrictions are better, but schools should be able to restrict what kids have available to them during class. Kids should be able to bring them to school, but they should be put away while class is in session.

If parents disagree with that policy, they can enroll their kids somewhere else. But schools should absolutely have authority over what's allowed on school property.
