[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who is Ryan McElveen? He’s mentioned in the tweet. [/quote]

A school board member.[/quote]

He also sent out information basically telling students it's ok to protest.  He failed to provide any further guidance on how that might be responsibly done, IMO.  Maybe the student is pointing out that he acted in accordance with was McElveen sent out?  Maybe pointing that out to get the suspension revoke would have been a better idea than threatening others and possibly ending up in jail rather than just suspended?  SMH.[/quote]

You have every right to HATE Ryan  but this has nothing to do with him. DONT BLAME RYAN [/quote]

I'm not blaming him.  Someone pointed out he was mentioned in the tweet, and that is my guess as to why he was specifically mentioned.  I also editorialized about the lack of any boundaries in what he sent out because I know students from DC's school were viewing it very broadly.  Also, I don't hate him.  I'm disappointed that the guidance he put out wasn't more complete as far as consequence and boundaries.  Kids see what SB members put out. [/quote]
His message that protesting is allowed was clear. Students only got into trouble if they did not return after the protest was over. [/quote]

Nothing said how long the protest can last, how many students are needed for it to be an allowed protest, it says protest can include leaving school premises.  The message from our principal made it clear the absence would be unexcused, that kids wouldn't be allowed to do after school activities on the day they choose to protest because of the unexcused absence, that disruptive behavior and taking advantage of the understanding stance on protests wil not be tolerated.  He should have left it up to the principals to articulate how each school will handle protests and the consequences.  Many kids read his post too broadly.  When dealing with kids/teens specificity, especially as to consequences, is key.  But, we can agree to disagree.  [/quote]
