Student protesters were right about segregation in the early '60s, right about Vietnam in the late '60s, right about apartheid in the '80s, right about Iraq in 2003, and right about wealth inequality in 2011. Seems generally bad to side against student movements.

Excited to announce that @APA has issued a health advisory on social media use among adolescents: apa.org/news/press/releases/… with additional resources to help (see links on the right of page linked below). A balanced and science-based perspective that lays out steps all can take including tech companies, policy-makers, educators, parents, and teens!
