Mayor Bill de Blasio takes calls from listeners and discusses this week in NYC, including (but not limited to): school safety, the new schools chancellor, banning plastic bags, whether he'll support safe injection sites, the lack of diversity in specialized high schools, and much more.

93 schools have metal detectors, BdB tells @BrianLehrer, not ever permanently, and he understands why students prefer not to go through it, but safety decisions must be made.

On endorsing @CynthiaNixon, BdB tells @BrianLehrer to talk to her. "I don't know what her decision is going to be...I haven't been involved." BdB stresses a second time that he hasn't been involved in her process, and says still not ready to talk 2018 elections.
