Resisting this bill is Mayor Michael Bloomberg who "says cell phones are a distraction in schools, where students can use them to cheat on exams, take inappropriate photos and waste time chatting and text messaging instead of learning," states an article on www.newsday.com.
Parents, however, are outraged. They believe their children need cell phones to communicate with them before and after school.
The council's bill would "give children the express right to carry cell phones to and from school," the article continues.
"We recognize that those cell phones should not be on in school or during the school day, but they need to have them to and from, and we believe the Department of Education has to go out and figure out a way to make that happen," said City Council Speaker Christine Quinn.
Bloomberg, however, according to a spokeswoman, would veto the bill, despite the repeated efforts of parents and students to reconsider the ban.
