Yep, he WAS suspended for not participating in the March. He wanted to continue the regular school day, was told he had to March or go to a special room - because the Educators left his normal scheduled class. He refused. You can bet almost all the teachers marched according to AFT Commands.

That's being punished for trying to continue an ordinary school day.

Where were the adults? Oh yes, encouraging and accompanying the March, in lieu of doing their jobs.


You must know you're making shit up here.

suspend the one kid that stays exactly where they should be, IN THE CLASSROOM!


THey had a different classroom location for him to go. He refused. You're trying too hard to make this about something it isn't. But then again, lies sell here a lot better than they used to. And I'm not about to bother taking them on.

You still don't understand. If somebody should have been ordered to a location it would have been the kids who left without permission, not the kid who stayed according to plan. Of course they could have let everyone leave at their own risk, but certainly not punish the kid that did what he was supposed to do. Cmon seriously?

Actually it's you who don't understand. If you wanted to you and T-Lips could look into how this was organized, the way administrators at schools responded and so on.

Kids at many or most schools did not walk out. Many schools arranged brief little moratoriums, internally to occur at that time. At large schools where it was determined that a large number of kids planned on participating, they did what was smart, let the kids go out for a while, chant their little protests, and even have some adults follow them to keep them out of trouble. Police are informed as well.

THese things are not nearly as simple as you imagine. Nor are they arranged by evil left wing socialist teachers. Teachers have things to get done in their classes and don't appreciate losing class time for this type of thing. Even most left wing zealot type teachers (there aren't as many as you think) know that these marches don't do much if anything.

Admin and police are on board with letting students have their little protest in most cases where a large number wanted to go out.

Why should he go to a different classroom? Was there a tornado warning and all the kids were sent to the safest, windowless part of the structure?

Why wasn't the teacher in the classroom, conducting class as normal?

Why should the kid be suspended for staying in his class.

Good for him, question authority.

Yeah, not only the school teachers, but the Governor of NY State,

Needs hearings. Did Admins and Teachers encourage just one iota the protests?

No leg to stand on, because the AFT/NYSUT/etc. wasn't protesting conditions or wages.

Conspiracy to violate mandatory education laws, I'm sure there's plenty of contractual and administrative violations.

Yet it's the kid who refused to participate and wanted to continue the school day that got suspended.

Total BS. We all know what happened: The Dumbest Majors by SAT Score encouraged the kids to go, the Admin was with them or unwilling to put a foot down, and the Teachers followed the kids outside, chanting with them.

What should have happened is the Admin lets the kids go but calls the cops and the COPS can follow the kids and make sure they didn't get out of hand. Like they did in, of course, Chicago:

Agreed. It's crazy that this is even debated. it's like going into a store and being punished for not shoplifting like the others, but paying for your stuff. I don't want to weigh in on the protests, don't really care about them and the school's reaction, however whatever they do they should make sure that enough teachers are at school teaching, that's where the taxpayer money goes to. When in doubt let the others take off to their protests and notify their parents that they are running lose and the school does not assume responsibility because the teachers are at school where they are supposed to be.

Pure and simple lies.

IF he wanted to continue the school day, he goes to the study hall for that one period (as instructed) and then attends all his other classes after that.

Exactly. If the kids left, the teachers conduct class as normal, and send a note home with the missing textbook pages for the protesters to follow up on their own time.

Explaining that when Emerson and Thoreau talked about Civil Disobedience, it included taking all the lumps that went along with it (ie having to make up the classes you missed by reading on the weekend).

Study Hall in lieu of regularly scheduled Calculus or Social Studies is not the normal school day. Where was the teacher teaching his class? Hey, she got that small class size she wanted, same pay less work.

Her ass better be on that chair or near the blackboard. Not getting paid to be at a protest she supports, on the taxpayer dollar.

Cops conduct security at protests, not Educators.

It's funny, educators are like "Muh CE, Muh Credentials". What credentials does the Dept of Education offer for Crowd Control?

In most cases, that's what happened. But ooooh Brietbart found an example where it went down a little differently.

No need for them to lie about it though. I get it about being an online provocateur. But can't they do it with even a slight amount of integrity ?

So the kid should be suspended? If other schools didn't suspend re: Walkouts, why should a kid who stayed in his classroom be suspended?

What are you missing here ? He is asked to go to a study hall where other students and an adult are present and he says no. I'm quite sure they asked him repeatedly. I'm also sure they felt it was a reasonable request. They have rules and policies. This doesn't really even have anything to do with the walkout. IT's about a student defiantly refusing to follow a perfectly reasonable request.

Maybe you have a legit argument about a very small percentage of teachers encouraging students to participate. I beleive less than 1%. Guaranteed it's under 2%. But that's independent of that particular student's refusal to go to another location where an adult is present and thus being suspended.

Where is the adult that's supposed to be in his classroom, teaching at her regular appointed hour?

He has a right to be educated. And the taxpayer is paying that adult to instruct him. Where did she go?

Ohio has mandatory schooling laws like every state in the nation.

Good, so what's their punishment? If they're going to punish a kid for wanting to continue his regular school day, they can certainly punish the teacher who encouraged walkouts, yes?

marcus says

Again, where was the adult that was supposed to be in his room?

Turns out a Teacher WAS punished, this one for daring to make a comparison:

California teacher put on leave for asking if schools would allow walkouts to protest abortion
California high school history teacher Julianne Benzel was put on paid leave after questioning in front of her students whether school administrations would let a group of students protesting abortion walk out of class in the middle of the school day like they did with students who did so on Wednesday in protests over school shootings.

“I opened up the discussion for if schools … are going to allow one group of students to get up during class and walk out to protest on one issue, would they still give the same courtesy to another group of students who wanted to get up and walk out in protest. And I used the example of abortion,” Rocklin High School teacher Benzel said on Fox News Friday morning.

Benzel said two students and one parent took issue with her comment and complained to the administration who then placed her on leave for two days.

The California teacher said she was trying to a start a class discussion ahead of National Walkout Day on whether the situation would be treated the same way if a school walkout was organized from the other side of the political aisle.

Good Question. And would most of the admins and teachers follow those abortion protesting kids out into the street to "protect" them? Probably not.

The Teacher was encouraging students to THINK about the issue.

The Admin wanted to silence attempts at THINKING.
31   marcus   2018 Mar 17, 7:20pm  

It's true that we can't have walk outs all the time over random issues of the week. But 70% of the people are for stricter gun control laws. Higher percentages if you specify something like large capacity magazines. Allowing occasional walkouts (once every few years or less) is instructive to students about our system. Student still say the pledge of allegiance a few times a week at many high schools, including the one I work at. Is that indoctrination ? I don't think so. But we want students to believe in America, and in their rights to protest. When the issue is one that such a super-majority agree with (stricter gun control laws), some school allow it.

Yes, a majority of school admins and teachers are typically center to left of center who vote democrat. Deal with it.

That's a far cry form some commie marxist indoctrination camps that the whackos on the right want to make them out to be.

Which new laws would that be on top of the existing 20,000+ already on the books? This is the default Liberal Straw Man, but when you ask a Liberal what NEW specific gun laws would have prevented a Parkland, all we hear is "crickets".

What's a "large" capacity magazine?

Where are the random walk outs regarding the number of teens killed in cars because of distracted driving? Please link the article where that is a major concern in the schools, and the protests, since hundreds more die that way compared to dying from being shot by a AR-15.

It's called an "exculpatory resonance". When emotions/logic ratio is infinite, then all meaningless gestures are forgiven in the propaganda blizzard.

Nowhere in your post did you respond to the idea that bringing up "Would this level of support be seen for protesting students if they were protesting abortion?"

marcus says

I hope to do so, by encouraging the various States to investigate and dole out punishments for those who broke from rules and policies about what typically happens during a walkout by students. And, if Union Members colluded to support it, which violates the law and almost certainly their contract.

Even the ACLU admits what teachers say in the classroom can be considered official an School District platform, and that they have little protection.

He insisted on staying in the room the class was, where there was no adult (meaning next he could do whatever), rather than go to the prescribed location for students from that class that were not going on the march.


Not sure if you're doing this intentionally, or obstinately, but obviously all students have a right to expect that when they go to school, it's to learn not to be babysat in a study hall, or march in a federally sponsored protest. Now if there was a physical danger that necessitated removing the student from his normal learning activities, I could see him getting in trouble, but this wasn't the case.

Bottom line, public schools are either a real effort to educate youth, or they're not. This incident clearly seems to indicate education is secondary, what is primary, I think we all know.

In the 60's you think they suspended kids for not protesting Vietnam?
