Somebody should ask the students exactly what it is their protesting against. When they can’t answer, tell them to think about how they ended up at this protest and how they feel about having been programmed to protest on demand without even understanding what it is they’re protesting.
Rebels without a clue.
Teachers and students need to get a grip with reality. The reality that they live in a country with a Constitution and relative freedom.
I pray the school board keeps the curriculum.
The first clue they need is to be made to realize they're being manipulated. They're going to hate that idea.
What about the teachers that walked out at two high schools?
Fire them and get new teachers — my suggestion.
Fire the teachers and the pricipal who put them up to it.

This group of students were protesting against the changes in AP History curriculum and censorship.

Extra credit for protesting?
I think the best response of this school board should be to bring in decorated veterans to teach history and patriotism. And they should gender segregate, with male veterans teaching the boys and female veterans teaching the girls.
Set aside one day each month so that every student in a mandatory class will get a presentation.
And to make it better, a number of these veterans should be disabled veterans, to make their commitment to patriotism crystal clear.
Ideally, there should be teams, with a veteran officer and a veteran NCO, referring to themselves by their active duty rank, so the students can see what that relationship is like.
This would convey all sorts of ideas to students. First of all, these are adults worthy of respect, and this is how such adults behave. Most students have never seen anything like that.
Second, they give information like the students are smart adults themselves, so if they don’t pay attention, they will miss out. There will be no testing of this information, so no need for notes. But the information they give may be the students only shot at ever hearing it.
There are so many other things that veterans can impart that it’s hard to name them. But it would result in a major attitude adjustment for these students.
