Why Students Are Protesting the Cell Phone Policy at This Houston High School

Students at James Madison High School in south Houston, Texas, staged a walkout last week to protest a new zero-tolerance policy banning student cell phone use on that campus. Some carried picket signs and gathered across the street from the high school, as seen in videos posted to X, formerly Twitter. Houston Independent School District Superintendent Mike Miles voiced support for the policy at a press conference last week, promising suspensions for students who walk out and pointing to the benefits of enforcing policies that keep cell phones away from students during the school day.
