THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU xXx_DC_xXx !!! I was wondering when somebody was going to get around to this point.
I always find it interesting how people rush to reference 9/11 when it's convenient for them. If only parents keeping in touch with their children were the only factor here. From the article posted above by Don Cardi:
"...Mayor Michael Bloomberg and schools Chancellor Joel Klein have staunchly refused to drop the ban. They insist cell phones are a distraction and are used to cheat, take inappropriate photos in bathrooms, and organize gang rendezvous. They are also a top stolen item..."
With all the functions available on cellphones these days...I think the ban is justified and I hope Bloomberg and Klein do not buckle on this.
