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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
