My situation is this and I go to ENHS (Edmond North High School); I'm not sure if this is the same for any other EPS (Edmond Public School or Edmond Public Schools) or if anyone else has the same situation as me. Please support me with this by signing this and looking at the comments and adding a comment after you read this. Here's my situation at my school:

People last year at Edmond North High School liked to do school work on their phones when they had free time in class. The ban that EPS established for all Edmond public schools is very bad. Edmond North High School made it so the students couldn't even access the WiFi at school; which is a bad thing because students have to use cellular data. If the students plug their phone into their Chromebook to charge their phone somehow the administrators are able to scan and see everything on the student's phone. If a student plugs their phone into the Chromebook to charge it; it scans their phone, and the administrators can see everything on that student's phone. These are both an invasion of a person's privacy and people can't invade other people's privacy. Teachers are on their phones, can be, which makes it very bad for students and more tempting for us to get on our phones in class. Teachers are on their phones while students are taking tests or quizzes and even after they give students assignments, projects, etc. Teachers will take students' phones away if they catch them with it out in class. Our phones are our property and can people take away people's property; no. Phones are your property if you are 18 and live at a hotel or somewhere not with your parents. Before the students got Chromebooks they had to deal with being very bored during closed tutorial because no one felt like talking and everyone just wanted to play on their phones but couldn't. Student's can't even listen to music in class anymore because of the phone ban and because of that; they have to listen to bad music on the Chromebooks; because all of the good music is blocked on the Chromebooks. Students in their free time after they're done with all of their assignments in the class they're in and assignments for other classes; used to play CoolMath games but it got blocked so know they have to play other games, but all of those games get boring after a while. With Coolmath blocked it is making kids want to play on their phones more.

This is making teens life at school very bad and if you sign this petition you can help this cause. EPS sent out an email to stop people from making petitions put I am making this to rebel because we have the freedom of speech and the freedom to make petitions. ENHS is taking away our right of the freedom of speech and our right of freedom to make petitions by blocking my old petition. I made another petition in the past on change.org but they blocked it after sending out the email. What do petitions do; let you say your opinion and so others will see your opinion; like the freedom of speech; so they Head of the EPS is taking away our freedom of speech a.k.a. our right. When you are born into the US aren't you a US Citizen and don't US Citizens have rights; even if they are in school; yes except for in any EPS. So please sign this to help my cause.

The EPS messed google images and a classmate of mine searched Comic Sans because he liked comic sans and he was using it for a web design project and these are some pics of what he saw: https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&source=images&cd=&... and many other pics that weren't what he wanted to see which was a picture of Comic Sans. The link may only work on Chromebooks; I'm not sure if it does work on another computer besides Chromebooks.

Another problem is that there a websites blocked for no good reason and students can't search those websites on their phones unless they do it sneakily and it is also because all of the EPS students got locked out of the school's WiFi and the cellular data and some kids can't afford to waste their parents data; so we need to get the WiFi back to EPS students so there will not be any service in some classrooms. Since students can't access the school WiFi; they have to use cellular data and their parents get mad at them for using too much cellular data because not all students can afford or have unlimited. Students also can't listen to music on their chromebooks; because all of the music sites are blocked and we want to listen to music while we work. It is the twenty first century and it is the age of technology and technology is always advancing. So if you join this petition you can get google fixed, unban phones and get school WiFi back, and get Coolmath unblocked from the Chromebooks, get all music sites that are blocked on the Chromebook not blocked anymore, and all of the other problems in EPS.

This year we having annoying lanyards for security and we have to wear them during class and they do work on this door by this room and its room number is W-131; but when you open that door you have to yank it open to get it to open. In the door that everyone comes into a hallway with complete glass windows that connects the new building to the rest of the school didn't scan a student's ID today on 11/20/2019. Maybe we can make laminated IDs wristbands that you can wear on either of your arms and it will have our ID barcode and other things on it; they are laminated so the barcode and other things on it can't get scratched off.

I just found out today on 9/18/19 that my first hour U.S. History teacher, Vickie Wilson, gives us grades for wearing our lanyard with our ID on it and I don't think that she should be allowed to do that. Sign this petition to help me make her not able to do that.

Another thing is that we, the students are not allowed to wear hats and hoodies with the hood up or the hood up; covering our face in the classroom, because it is hard to tell are identity from the classroom ceiling cameras. Not being able to wear hoods and hats (are a form of expression) in the classroom; it is a violation of student's constitutional right to freedom of expression and the same with not being able to wear hats. Sign this petition to help get us to be able to wear hats, hoodies with the hood up or the hood up and covering our faces and beanies in the classrooms students go to.

Something I just learned yesterday 10/23/2019 is that we can't wear hoodies with the hood up or the hood up; covering our face, hats, and beanies in the hallways; it's probably because the hallway cameras can't see are faces; but I look at the cameras in the hallways and classrooms and they can see my face just fine. This is another thing that violates student's constitutional right to freedom of expression. Sign this petition to help get us to be able to wear hats, hoodies with the hood up or the hood up and covering our faces and beanies in the hallways.

Here is the link to my first petition and I can’t edit it anymore because my account got locked out and my school blocked the website Change.org on the Chromebooks: https://www.change.org/p/students-unban-the-phone-ban-at-all-edmond-public-schools

Here is the link to my second petition after my first one with the account I had getting locked out of it; so after that I made this one before they blocked the website Change.org from the school Chromebooks: https://www.change.org/p/students-unban-the-phone-ban-at-all-edmond-public-schools

It's also about how students have no power to change things and we need to change all of the things I mentioned on here and on my YouTube video on my YT channel SallyPurpleYT.

We as students and parents who support them; will unite and join together from all over the USA and change the school system for the better and for the future and for the better and for the future of the students.

I am going to start something and it is going to be a hashtags which are these: #Unban the #PhoneBanAtAllEPS

#UnblockCoolMathGamesAtAllEPS

#FreeCoolMath

#BringBackCoolMath

#FixGoogleImagesAtAllEPS

It is a bit of a stretch but it works to promote and get my petition noticed and post these hashtags on all social medias that you have with the link of this petition below all of the hashtags.
