He had the option of alternative study hall, where he should have gone if he chose not to participate in the walkout.
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.
Looks like School Policy is NOT EDUCATION, it Political Agenda of the Teacchers & Staff.
It was a school day, the student had every right to expect to be in school and not forced into a Political Protest.
I have never seen anything like this. During Vietnam, and other protests, students violated school policy, took over administrative buildings, and did other things that were UNAUTHORIZED, and against the rules because they believed in something.
Now, the school, teachers unions, Bloomberg, and Soros anti legal gun groups fund, and encourage a protest to advance the Democrat agenda. It is purely partisan, and a huge conflict of interest. The students should have protested after school, or over the weekend, and not on school grounds, with school support.
He had Option A or Option B. He chose Option C, and that's why he got in trouble. He wanted to make a point, and he should be happy to pay the price since he made the choice. In many schools, walking out came with a penalty. Many others made alternate activities. Whatever the rule of the school was, students who didn't comply should be punished according to policy.

Wouldn't let me rep you but +1 and Amen. And what really frosts me is that the same folks who would throw a fit over a student wearing a Christian T shirt or reading the Bible on school grounds are howling in support of a political agenda being taken up on school time.
I find the whole thing leaving a bad taste in my mouth....That is how I see it....
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.
