I may have missed it, but where do they state there was the option of going to a study hall?
The way I read it - they're correct in saying a school cannot leave anyone unattended in the building. However, they should have offered another option on the form itself, stating that students who didn't wish to participate could gather in the auditorium or library or wherever where there would be an assigned teacher to oversee them while they studied or did homework.
Unless I'm missing something I didn't see any mention of another option.
You may have already seen it by now but, in case you have not, here is "what you are missing".
It seems that the kids original narrative that got spun into something FALSE on social media that did not tell it exactly as it happened. Surprise, surprise on that score!
Just another example of liberal teachers and school administrators proving they're more about indoctrination than education.
Have you not been reading the updates in this thread that provide a correction to the original & false narrative put out here by the op? The updates have told what really happened.
This thread, up to the point of your post and now after it, has been full of correct accounts of what really happened at that school so I must ask as to why you are thus still posting an opinion that is not based on the FACTS of the situation?

Thanks, Atler. Someone did point it out to me earlier in the thread. He was given two options and chose to take neither, so now he's suffering the consequences. I don't see what the big deal is, except that the way it's being portrayed is that he was suspended for not protesting, which is a lie.
He was suspended for not listening to his teacher.
Totally normal to get suspended for not listening to your teacher.
And then what happens when that teacher tells him to have sex with him/her? Just because a teacher tells you to do something, doesn't mean it's right, or lawful! The teachers in my opinion, were breaking the laws by using these kids as pawns. This student seen right through their BS and refused to play their games. I hope his parents sue the hell out of the public school system, then use the money to go to a private school.

It was not one "teacher". It was a strategy decided upon by the school to minimize disruption. Basically you could walk out to the memorial for the slain students or you could go to the study hall. The majority of students by the way went to the study hall.
This guy decided neither choice was tolerable. Tough call. But he made it and stuck to it.
If the kid did not want to participate with the demonstration, he was supposed to go to study hall.
Very simple, very solvable.
He didn't go to study hall, he was suspended.
Sounds right.

Exactly! A lie.
This leads me to recall the story that was promoted HUGELY on fox news after the Parkland shooting wherein CNN supposedly would not let a student ask the question that he wanted to ask at the on air CNN Town Hall.
The "scandalous" anti-CNN narrative was constantly put forth on fox news. As it happens, the kids father eventually confessed to having altered part of the communication record between his son & CNN which changed entirely the context of the communication record.
fox was forced to retract their story & tucker carlson aired an on air correction.
Which leads to the question of why does the "right" lie in such situations like these and present incorrect versions of these type of stories?
What's to be gained in a lie if the truth (the most important thing!) comes to the light eventually?
The end result of misinformation can be seen over and over such as here on the forum where the op created a thread topic based on an INCORRECT version of what happened at the school in Ohio where the student was suspended.

Oh for crying out loud!
Have you not paid attention here as to the FACTS of the situation and how they differ from what the op posted when they created this thread?
The FACTUAL TRUTH is available if you seek it.
I've now posted this link twice so READ IT!

How about not having these memorials , protests or walk outs during school hours but in the evening after school is over or on the weekends. Then we'll see how many "concerned " kids there really are.
Any time you give kids the option to miss class to do something else - whether they agree with it or not - most are going to do it to get out of class.
If the kid did not want to participate with the demonstration, he was supposed to go to study hall.

Sounds right.
But was the suspension justified? Just because he didn't follow the rules, that doesn't necessarily mean he should be suspended.
