Here’s the proof that teens just want to talk on cell phones.

In Brooklyn, about 150 students protested for about an hour in front of their school because of new security guidelines, which includes not being able to carry their cell phones onto the schools campus.

This security measure is nothing new, since it has been in affect since 1987.

A total of 5 students were arrested, 4 for disorderly conduct and one for assaulting a police officer. It was reported that other than this handful of incidents, the crowd was more or less peaceable.

This protest didn’t change any rules or restrictions, and the mobile phone
ban won’t be lifted on their behalf.
