The school-to-prison pipeline is a real thing. The ACLU website has information on it

Okay, fair enough, but to insinuate this is a problem for all teens and not just certain minorities and low income students is a but dishonest. Also banning tiktok has nothing to do with this.

Yeah, like I said in another comment in this thread: Tik Tok is not a "third space" for teenagers. They're making money off of them, too, just indirectly.

And it's not just minorities. My friends and I were white as snow and still got the cops called on us just for hanging out at a pavilion in a park.
