They are all unexcused.

No they aren’t

Cite specific examples.

Nothing to protest. It's a new and wonderful president and we are celebrating. We (parents and kids) worked hard on this campaign.

Kids can't win with you all. They're either too self-centered to care about anyone else, or sticking their noses in grownup business when they should be focusing on themselves and going to school.

Student protests, whether they're meaningful or not, are a part of American culture. Why all the hate about kids actually caring about things? Wisdom comes from experience.

They can do it on their own time and not disrupt our kids learning.

Not only are they part of our culture, student protests are constitutionally protected free speech.

"Students have a right to assemble for discussions of issues of
importance to them and to demonstrate peacefully. Students
have a responsibility to consult with a school administrator
to determine if the activity will be allowed during the school
day, the time and place, and the type of supervision required.
Students also have a responsibility to work cooperatively with
staff members, take reasonable steps to ensure that the activity
is orderly, and make up missed work.
Any walk-out or departure from campus during the instruc-
tional day will be treated as an unexcused absence, given the
disruptive impact on school operations."

Good thing MCPS eliminated their SRO program and banned police on school grounds so the students themselves can, you know, . . . police them selves and organize their own safety.

Police are not banned on school grounds.

Do you not understand what protests are? School *is* the kids' own time. If your kids don't want to do it, they don't have to.

If you get excused for doing it, it isn’t a meaningful protest.

What happened with MCPS's Civic Engagement proposal?

It can be if they are protesting something that isn't the school.

It’s not their time, it’s the school’s time. Yours can stay home and scroll their phone to “protest” on that day.
