Check out the picture of the school along with the article. Apparently, Governor Bloomberg is just as much of an asshole about making his schools similar to jails as he is about attempting to shut down gun stores in other states. The only difference is this time he enforced a law versus breaking several laws during his "investigations" of non-New York State gun stores.
What a fucking asshole.
The Education Department first banned “communication devices” around 1988, when the electronic toy of choice was a beeper. But the rule was not strictly enforced until last year, when the Bloomberg administration took action to prohibit cellphones in schools.
The sweep yesterday was one of the biggest so far since the crackdown. An unannounced visit to a Queens school on Wednesday yielded only 40 cellphones, 16 iPods and 33 unspecified electronic devices. The police collected only 83 cellphones during a sweep at a Bronx school a week ago, but also took 37 items like headphones, batteries and can openers — all forbidden.
According to rules set by Middle School 54’s principal, Elana Elster, the items confiscated yesterday could be picked up only by parents, and no earlier than Tuesday. But she later amended those instructions in an e-mail message to parents, saying that students could take home the cellphones and other items at the end of the day on Friday.
