Why is Jacob (or any other student) not entitled to a free and public education during 'protest time'?

Why are public schools involved in staging political protests while they are being paid by taxpayers to educate children?

They percentage of the school day missed while students are escorted out of school should be subtracted from both their federal and state financial allotment.

[grobdriver]

instead of joining protests or the alternative, a study hall

Why didn't he just go to the study hall?

[petitfour]

Where were the teachers?

[Red Badger]

His 1st amendment rights were trampled on. He was protesting the protesting............

[tomkat]

Any of the damned teachers indoctrinators who weren't in class giving lessons to those kids with sense enough to be there to receive them should be suspended for a week without pay, and the disciplinary action noted on their record.

[fwdude]

“Study hall” = detention for infraction

The “infraction” of being politically incorrect.

[MissTed]

Conservatives need to start suing the crap out of the school districts. We have to fight back.

[BenLurkin]

In other words, the “walk-out” was actually a field trip. Sponsored by the so-called “school”

[Southside_Chicago_Republican]

The walkout in my town was completely staged by the school administration. Students had little, if any, input, and had to participate unless a parent sent a note asking for them to be excused from it.

> The district says it’s responsible for students’ safety and they can’t be unsupervised. <

The article’s title makes it seem like the school district was wrong, very wrong. But then I read the above sentence. Yep, the kid should have been suspended. If he didn’t want to protest, good for him! But then he should have reported to the study hall, where I’m sure a teacher was present.

If a district lets a kid stay unsupervised, that district opens itself up to all sorts of lawsuits. Kids left alone can and do get into trouble.

And clueless taxpayers are paying for public schools that penalize the few students who are there to learn.

That’s how Leftists control all the institutions that we pay for.

You have to pick your fights. He had a choice, he could have gone to the Study Hall.

“Hilliard senior Jacob Shoemaker says school isn’t the place for politics, and he wasn’t taking sides Wednesday.”.....

Sound like Jacob is the only adult in that school. Law suit pending?

[Getready]

Modern public schooling is horrible.

Why are we paying for it? To create a class of worker drones?

[bgill]

“The now-viral story is false, district leaders said. Shoemaker says that the story is partially true, but not in the way the sharers are trying to spin it. “There are a lot of groups out there that are using this to push an agenda, and I don’t appreciate that,” said Shoemaker, whose son Jacob, a Hilliard Davidson High School senior, was suspended. Jacob Shoemaker said he felt as though he would be making a political statement about guns by walking out, his father said, but he also would be making one if he stayed in and allowed himself to be sent to wherever the nonprotesters were being rounded up in the building. “The biggest problem, Dad, is that there shouldn’t be politics in the classroom. ... I may just sit in my seat. As far as I’m concerned, that’s the least intrusive of the choices I’ve been given,” Jacob said, according to his father. So Jacob stayed in his seat. About an hour after his lone act of civil disobedience, he was handed the out-of-school suspension for March 15.”

Lil’ I’m So Special should have gone to the study hall as he was told to do.

[tbw2]

This is proof the walkouts are fake.
If you MUST participate, it isn’t real.

[Sirius Lee]

The nazis demand you show up to take part in Kristallnacht or it’s off to the death camps.

[Rebelbase]

I wonder if any students who left school and skipped the protests were ratted on by the little Eichmanns and punished by the schools?

[SMARTY]

Huuuhhhh...?

[AppyPappy]

School; We support students protesting because we believe in freedom of speech but freedom comes through obedience
