Children are racking up more screen time than ever before on social media and state Sen. Danny Burgess thinks they need social media safety taught in the classroom.
Burgess proposed the bill for the second time this year and has hopes of making it law.
If approved, for the first time in Florida’s history, the state might require public schools to teach social media safety.
“It’s about protecting kids. It’s about helping them realize things they do today may live long after they posted it.” Burgess said.
The bill aims to teach children about the advantages and disadvantages of social media by teaching them social media literacy.
Both Republicans and Democrats were on board for an almost identical bill last session.
