Principals allowed the students to leave their class to protest on the football field.

They should be fired! Since when does a school allow kids to leave (unattended) to protest? It serves zero educational purpose (Trump is president, there is nothing to change).

Sounds like the principals and superintendent are abusing their public servant positions to make their own political statement using students to do so.

They should be fired over this, there is no way a school paid principal or superintendent should have condoned, let alone allowed the protests.

It teaches students that the rioting, destruction and violence are OK, because the cause is noble, because the principal agrees with it.

They should be teaching the kids that Trump is the president elect.

If the kids want to protest/riot, they should do so after school, on their own time.

You are so unhinged.

"Unhinged" because I think it is wrong that the principals and superintendent are doing something unprecedented in allowing students to go out and protest the results of an election?

Wrong, in that students are being reinforced that the rioters who are destroying property, setting fires, throwing rocks at police officers, and the school is condoning this by letting the students participate in this ON SCHOOL TIME.

These kids are in school, the principals and superintendent are there to ensure they follow the rules and get an education. They are not there to let the students live out their "hissy fit" over the election results.

Trump is our president, whether you politically agree or disagree with him.

Those in authority over our kids need to teach our kids to accept our system of elections, and prepare them to be civil in society.

Any school paid employee allowing the kids to skip their classes and join in the riots and disobedience is doing our kids a disservice, and should be fired.

Kids are free to protest, but ON THEIR OWN TIME, not during school hours.

Renay Johnson is obviously very anti-Trump from her tweets. Linking to "What should we tell our kids" over the tragedy of Trump being elected, and it's twisted assumption that Trump is a bigot. It is very sad that Renay allows her personal bias to influence her actions in what she allows and doesn't allow with the kids. They were put in danger by letting them protest and wander the streets on school time.

Heck, she even retweeted "congratulations" tweets being proud of the students. They should be reprimanded for leaving the school, not praised. Not our principal! Fire Renay!

Hmmm... Based on what he's been saying over the last 18 months or so, it's no longer a simple assumption. By the way, you sounds a lot like someone..

"Twisted"? Really?

Those assumptions are based in fact. They are based on things he has actually said over the past 18 months.

Protesters across the country are not, in significant quantities, trying to prevent Trump from becoming president. They are being the majority voice that voted against him. They are refusing to normalize the evil inherent in a white nationalist buffoon leading the country. I'd be proud if my kid had protested.

Yes principals plan time for kids to do something other than schoolwork... Like a pep rally. A protest against racism is appropriate.

Yes, it is within the rules.

Students are not having a hissy fit, they are expressing themselves, get over it. It is protected by our American laws, educate yourself.

One part of our system is that we can assemble, we can voice our opinions and we can influence change. Sorry if that hurts your little trumped up feelings. But lobbyists are buying and selling their souls right now getting Trumpettes to do what they want.

Kids can take time off of school for their own reasons. They can get a note from home or take an unexcused absence. Sorry this is not a military state, not yet.

As they should.

Unexcused absence will be on their record regardless of their leniency. That may hurt these students when applying to colleges and it's about time we stop coddling these teens and realize that actions have consequences.

Ohhh actions have consequences. You mean like making statements that support sexism, racism, anti-Semitism etc (as a white male) can get you elected president? Happy you explained.

But what do they want? When you protest, you are asking for change. What is the change that they want?

You don't know what they want? Trump has not implemented his ridiculousness yet, they are protesting.... immigration laws.... sexually assaulting women....

okay, i got you started you should be smart enough to figure it out.

Your post doesn't answer the question. Exactly, what do they want? Vote again until HRC wins?

They want what any protestors want - a voice. What is the point of any public protest, any march? The point is to be heard.

They want it to be known that they are opposed to this "person" the electoral college elected to be POTUS.

I'd say get over it. That's life. As much as I hate Trump as our next President, he is our next President. We have to honor the system whether we like it or not.

The same way the other side honored Obama when he won? Was it year 6 of his presidency when most would agree that Obama was an American citizen? Or was it seeing the Republicans work across the aisle for the last 8 years and being super supportive of Obama that helped the Republicans run the table this election - not. You see, you seem to think rolling over is the answer and that's fine if you believe it. But I am personally not trusting someone that has said vile things and stirred up all this hate to do right by me. I will protest, I will donate money for the cause, I will put pressure on my locally elected officials to represent me. Why did people protest Vietnam, why did they protest the treatment of blacks, why did they protest women getting unequal pay? Where would we be now without the people that protested those issues the past two generations? Where will we be in the next four years if we do nothing now.

I saw an interview of the protesters who was asked this question. He said he was protesting the election process. Candidate with the most votes should be elected; get rid of the electoral college.
