New York City schools have a patchwork of rules surrounding phones in class, and students, teachers and parents say they are confused and frustrated. Amy Zimmer, Chalkbeat New York bureau chief, shares her reporting on the issue, and talks about why Gov. Hochul is mulling a statewide ban on phones in schools.
The threat came in an e-mailed letter from the principal to the entire student body: Stop following the anonymous Instagram accounts, or face suspension.When Principal David Marmor of Francis Lewis High School in Queens discovered two accounts — one which posted fight videos and the other which included vulgar content that in some cases targeted specific students — he didn't hesitate to act. In addition to threatening suspension, he promised to cancel all “celebratory events” like pep rallies and prom until the accounts were deleted or lost all their followers — a dramatic step that raised questions about the line between students' free speech online and punishable behavior. First reported by Chalkbeat New York, the case immediately caught our attention. Social media's impact on our lives as teens can't be overstated. Anonymous Instagram pages that share confessions, photos, and videos about school communities have become increasingly common. Sometimes the content is harmless. Other times, it feeds into vicious bullying. We called up Chalkbeat's Alex Zimmerman to break down what happened at Francis Lewis and discuss the broader implications of Marmor's actions. Should schools be allowed to regulate students' social media use? If so, did this principal go too far?Learn more about our work at https://bellvoices.org.—This episode was hosted by Shoaa Khan and Jose Santana.

StraightioLab All-Star Amy Zimmer returns to the hot seat along with her introverted friend "Kelly" for an episode that defies all categorization. We psychoanalyze the "undecided voter" archetype, invent a subversive new eyebrow trend, and speculate on Barbie's religious affiliation, all before turning our attention to the topic of the hour: DAIRY. What types of cheese are conservative and what types are progressive? How "fraiche" can store-bought creme fraiche really be? And finally: mold? Well it's not that simple...
