A school principal at a school in Texas I taught at asked several students, who did a similar walkout, why they were walking out. None of the students had a clue. One of the students did respond “that Mexican stuff, you know”. The principal sent all the students, upon their return, to after school suspension until they could write a coherent paper on what the protest and walkout was about. Some had very long suspensions.

That’s what’s so funny (not in a humors but ironic way). The kids really are clueless. They are being manipulated. This is simply about fun, a day off, fitting in and being cool. That’s it. Most of the kids are probably not particularly political. They are just going along with the crowd.
