Seattle Public Schools' (SPS) legal counsel told KING 5 Tuesday they are thrilled to see their messaging echoed in a new public health advisory by U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy.
“This was a really significant development because the Surgeon General is, ya know, the nation’s doctor," said the school district's attorney Felicia J. Craick of Keller Rohrback L.L.P. "We think this sort of evidence is gonna be really compelling to the court, and eventually the jury."
In that May 23 advisory, Dr. Murthy issued warnings about the potential dangers social media poses to youth mental health. He also called on policymakers, families, researchers, and tech companies to try and make social media safer.
