Madison High School students walk out of class for third time this week in protest of new cell phone policy

Principal Edgar Contreras said the new policy was necessary "because cellphone video has been at the center of multiple recent fights on campus." But a blurry video making rounds on social media this week shows what some say shows Contreras engaging in a physical altercation with a student.
