NYC Protects Kids From Themselves, And Their Phones

The lawsuit filed by a group of parents in an attempt to overturn Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s ban on cell phones in city schools was thrown out yesterday, according to the NYPress.

"The plaintiffs argue that banning cell phones from the premises violates students’ constitutional rights, but that a ban on using phones in schools is justified. Now that sounds unenforceable. "
