Why was she antisemitic for being PRO PALESTINE ? give me a BREAKKKKK, and the way they tried to just paint her as a bad person and made the zios “just kids” which the viewer will automatically be more sympathetic too. Also seemed like it was playing to the fact Pro palestine / anti genocide protesters and people like to spread misinformation and are attention seekers (when it’s literally quite the opposite (MAGA / zionists)
Her husband (in an awful twist) being a typical ’shia law’ Muslim man, it’s how the American entertainment industry loves to dkvkeupi bbl ct Muslim men, classic Islamophobia that hasn’t changed since the early 2000s.. because i guess him being a homophobic rapist wasn’t enough. there was another episode early on an SVU that I can’t even watch that was basically the first story where middle eastern / muslim people were the “main plot line” (Brother attacks / kills sister because she was raped) obviously I know that some Muslim men do follow this, but come on.
The whole homophobia stuff just felt so ridiculous, such a random distasteful plot twist, it felt like they were scared of making someone mad, so they had to add some #gay into it idk??? and they’re all willing to go HARD on MAGA (as they should) but not all the way on the genocide of innovation l uh cent people?

And considering mariska and the a lot of the other cast members stance on palestine etc i would’ve just assumed something like this wouldn’t have in the script in the big 2020s … but i guess this was right after Oct 7th so it was a “hot topic” I know in the recent seasons they actually did a pro Palestine episode or it was mentioned or something.

idk just my thoughts.

Disclaimer: Because I feel like i have to say this, I am not antisemitic, the problem is in my opinion, is zionism the apartheid state of Israel, you can be anti-Zionism without being antisemitic. this post has no directed hate to all jewish people as a whole.

I work in a school district (not SPS specifically), and I’m not entirely against it though i think it’s good to be limiting phone use during the school day. Especially if it genuinely getting in the way of the student learning etc.

That said, I do have some concerns I haven’t seen talked about as much. With the reality of emergencies in schools, and the fact this could be a potential Band-Aid instead of solving a bigger issue: Bullying and harassment, most cyber bullying, threat of violence against the school / students, etc happen outside of school hours. What are we doing to fix that? what extra resources can we provide for kids besides no phones? What training can we give to teachers?

Some schools have been using those magnetic pouch systems where students keep their phones on them but can’t access them unless a staff member unlocks it. That seems like a more balanced approach to me.

Also curious—what happened to the old model where if a student had their phone out, it just got taken for the day? I grew up in the Midwest and that alone was enough to stop most of us from using them during class. Does that not work anymore? Also, so I work at k-8 school right now, the “phone issue” isn’t really prominent. I’d be interested in seeing ALL the driving forces as to why they don’t want the phones (besides the obvious reasons)

Would love to hear how people (especially parents, students, and SPS staff) are feeling about this.

EDIT: Just to clarify since people seem to be taking this the wrong way, I’m not against limiting phones in schools at all. As someone who works in a school, I actually support it, and I think things like Yondr pouches are a solid middle ground since students still have their phones on them but aren’t using them during class etc. It can definitely help with focus and engagement, and even bullying.
My other points were just to make sure that this isn’t being treated like a full solution to bigger issues. A lot of cyberbullying and even threats of violence happen outside of school anyway, so I think it’s fair to ask what else is being done to support students beyond just restricting phones.
Not everything has to be all-or-nothing — you can support something and still question parts of it or want more to be done.
