Push to break dependence on cellphones, social media gains steam in Fargo

Cellphones are everywhere—including in the hands of kids as young as nine. But in Fargo, parents, educators, and community leaders are pushing back. A new North Dakota law will ban personal device use in schools starting this fall, and local efforts like “Tech Free Tuesday” are encouraging families to unplug at mealtimes. The movement isn’t anti-technology; it’s about regaining focus, protecting mental health, and rediscovering life beyond the screen. As one advocate put it: “This is good for kids, and we all know it.” Robin Huebner with InForum has the full story.
