[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So what is the school going to do when kids want to make other political statements and protests? Because they’re effectively endorsing a political stance. Ya know, free speech and all, so when some kids want to walk out against gun restrictions, or against gay marriage, or in favor or building the wall, I assume they will be treated as fairly?[/quote]

Sure, that happens.  If it is just for a brief period of time, usually there aren't consequences.  If they decide to walk out and leave, it is treated like cutting class.

[quote]More than 100 students at Hillsboro High School, about an hour south of St Louis, walked out of class on Monday in protest.

The protesting students assembled outside the school for about two hours. Mr. Cornman said he did not believe any of them were penalized.[/quote]

More than two dozen students briefly walked out of class Monday at Green Mountain Union High School to protest what they called discriminatory treatment of a transgender student.

The students were protesting the school administration telling the student, who identifies as a boy, to use a gender-neutral bathroom, one of six in the school, rather than the boys’ bathroom, according to Superintendent Bruce Williams.[/quote]

(If the students returned to class after 30 minutes, they were not disciplined, but if they stayed out the rest of the day, they faced detention for cutting school)
