If student organizers approached school administrators and recieved permission I see no problems with a student walk out. As a matter of fact, I encourage it as a valuable lesson in civics and 1st Amendment rights. Approval of such events does not automatically mean endorsement so I wouldn’t think much of the “school sponsored politics” angle.

Will you be ok if MAGA supporting students walk out? Politics do not belong in schools. Do not brainwash the kids (i neither dem or rep)

Nothing. They have Freedom of Speech.

No one is stopping MAGA kids from walking out. They should feel free to.

Agree. I saw them as I was driving by and tears came to my eyes. My dd participated and guesses 75% of students did based on what teachers said. I watched the videos and this was not kids cutting class.

Thank you so much for sharing this IG link. Got me teary-eyed as well. I’m so proud of these kids for standing up for what’s right.

My DS participated, too. He estimated that about 1,000 kids participated, which would be about 40% of students. I’d be surprised if it was that large, but it does sound like it was in the hundreds, which is amazing.

As I said above, politics should be banned in schools. Kids are not yet experienced in the nuances of what is going on right now. What if something happens during such a walkout? Student killed? Who will be responsible? MCPS -> potential lawsuit against MCPS.

B-CC is about 20% Hispanic. Even if there was no impact on ICE policies, at the very least they showed their classmates who are afraid for themselves or their family members that their school community has their back.

Please show me where in the Constitution that it indicates that our rights don't begin until adulthood?

The Supreme Court disagrees with you on numerous cases.

Can you please elaborate?

Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District (1969): The landmark ruling that students retain free speech rights, allowing them to wear black armbands to protest the Vietnam War, provided it does not cause substantial disruption.

West Virginia State Board of Education v. Barnette (1943): Ruled that public school students cannot be forced to salute the American flag or recite the Pledge of Allegiance, upholding freedom of speech and belief.

Mahanoy Area School District v. B.L. (2021): The Court ruled in favor of a high school student, finding that the school violated her First Amendment rights by punishing her for an off-campus, profanity-laced social media post.

All landmark Supreme Court Cases that ruled that students have First Amendment Rights. While they may not deal specifically with walkouts, our freedoms of speech and assembly that have been Consitutionally protected include those measures.

Bethel School District v. Fraser (1986) did rule in favor of schools when it came to students using vulgar and profane language. If people have that much of an issue with teenagers cursing, feel free to take it up with administration. However, without a very clear and published student code of conduct in place that strictly forbids the use of swear words, I doubt you have much of a leg to stand on. You want to punish these kids for saying F*ck Ice? You better punish every kid who curses in the hallway. Do we have the means to place EVERYONE in In School Suspension over a swear word?

Yup I would be fine. For democracy to survive we need this generation engaged, exercising their first amendment rights, and supporting the rights of others to do the same .
