No one forced him to participate in the actual protest. He was not allowed to stay unattended in the school. He could have just got up and stayed on the sidelines. Much ado about nothing.
The kid showed more guts and individual thought than thousands who walked out, teachers included. Can't have that kind of dangerous individualism in a school, though.
I would say that this kid was probably the only legitimate protest done at this school on this day. It's why he was the only one that had anything done to him.
A choreographed school sponsored walk out is not a protest. The rest of the kids allowed themselves to be used. They are kids so I don't blame them.
I disagree with the kids in generally BUT I completely support their right to protest. Next time I hope they actually protest rather than allow themselves to be used.

^^^^^This. The were just pawns in a Far Left, Partisan, Democrat exercise. Not a protest. Maybe they should get their heads out of the phones for a change, and actually think.
mmmm...yes.. The spin put on this is interesting. They're claiming he violated school policy and protocol. And the ones who walked out? From where I'm seeing things those students also violated policy and protocol in a far more blatant manner.
The way I see this suspending this kid is making a statement that the school is supporting the political agenda the walkers and they wanted to make an example. Yea yea, I know. It's trendy to support these student walkouts.
However not everyone feels so. I am one of the latter. The student in question here is correct in his take. Many of the students who walked out did so just because it's an excuse to skip class plus if someone doesn't stand with these walkers they WILL face retaliation. This has been proven over and over. This walkout business is totally out of control.
Actually, this walk out is proof that the liberals are using our children as pawns, because they are now either too indoctrinated or brainwashed to know they are being manipulated, or if they are aware, they are afraid of being persecuted for exercising their first amendment. This is definitely a very dangerous game that the libs are playing here. And I am sickened that our federal government is doing nothing to stop it. This is how people start losing their freedoms and basic human rights. Before we know it, we will be back in Hitler era Germany or Stalin era Russia soon enough.
This just proves that the whole "walkout" has been politically motivated and these kids are being used as pawns. They are being forced to support it. The suspension notice this kid was given stated the reason for his suspension was "Student refused to follow instructions."

Agreed. Don't be surprised if we find this kid has decided to hang himself out of peer pressure later on. Seems every time there is a legit person out there that the American people can look up to that is not part of some corporate sponsored puppet, something happens to them.
He had the option of alternative study hall, where he should have gone if he chose not to participate in the walkout.
No, you're missing the point. The alternative study hall would still have been supporting the walkout. He wasn't going to do that. He stayed in class. That was his point. He wasn't going to choose either option because both were in support of something he disagrees with.
He did the right thing.
