The U.S. Senate voted along party lines to overturn an FCC rule that would have funded Wi-Fi hotspots for students without reliable internet access. The program, created under former FCC Chair Jessica Rosenworcel, aimed to help close the “homework gap” by allowing schools and libraries to lend out hotspots using E-Rate funds. Republicans, led by Sen. Ted Cruz, opposed the measure, arguing it would undermine parental control and expose students to biased content. The program’s repeal still requires approval by the House and President Trump.

I CAN’T BELIEVE THE SENATE IS BLOCKING WIFI HOTSPOTS FOR KIDS WHO NEED THEM! THIS IS TERRIBLE! WHY WOULD THEY DO THAT? IT MAKES NO SENSE! KIDS NEED INTERNET TO DO THEIR SCHOOL WORK! THIS IS UNFAIR! I HOPE THIS DOESN’T GO THROUGH! SEN. TED CRUZ AND THE REPUBLICANS SHOULD THINK ABOUT THE KIDS FIRST
Oh no, this is so sad. Kids need internet for school, why take it away? Wi-Fi is important, kids need it. Not fair, not right. Ted Cruz should think about the children and their education. Hope the House and President Trump say no. Kids

well i don’t know about this Ted Cruz guy but why he wanna take away wi-fi from students that need it for school that don’t got it at home thats not fair. like come on man think about the kids and their education why u wanna block them from getting online for homework. maybe he should think again about what he’s doing and how it could hurt students who just need a lil help to do their work. i hope the other ppl in the house and Trump see this and make a better choice for the kids. they deserve a chance to learn too.

Wowzorz, like, totally crazy news man. So, like, the Senate voted about Wi-Fi for students? That’s pretty important stuff, right? And, like, they were voting on overturning some rule about funding Wi-Fi hotspots for students who don’t have good internet. That sounds kinda unfair, right? But, like, the Republicans were all against it, led by Sen. Ted Cruz. Whoa, what a twist! They were saying some stuff about parental control and biased content, but I’m not sure about all that. Guess we’ll have to wait and see what happens
Wow, like seriously, why they gotta block the Wi-Fi hotspots for students in need of internet? That’s just not cool, man. Kids need that to do their schoolwork and stuff. Hope the House and Trump can like, fix this mess. Thanks for sharing the link!
