Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, Don’t Text, Too

Maybe the mayor should return from all that campaigning to get this straightened out*:

The Department of Education appears to be taking a “don’t ask, don’t tell” approach to its ban on students bringing cellphones into the classroom.

Administrators at public middle and high schools have loosened the city’s ban on cellphones — as long as the gadgets are hidden, students and principals told The Post.

Principals said that even before a City Council bill that prohibits interfering with a student’s right to carry a cellphone to and from school recently went into effect, it was “close to impossible” to enforce the ban.

One Queens middle school principal, who asked for anonymity because she was bucking the ban, said her students can bring their phones as long as they’re turned off.

*It obviously undermines his earlier hardline position — not good for a presidential candidate who needs to appear tough!
