Thailand has had a weird strictness around the king for a long time now.

We've had a similar ban in the Netherlands for a year or two now. Mobile phones were already not allowed in classes. Kids seem to have survived.

Gabbard was raised in a multicultural household.[8] Her mother was born in Indiana and grew up in Michigan,[9] and her father, who is of Samoan and European ancestry,[8][10] was born in American Samoa and grew up in Hawaii and Florida.[11]

Citizens United wasn't legislation, it was a Supreme Court decision. The only way to fix it following the current rules is to ask the court again or to change the Constitution.
