El Paso, Texas – An 11 year old Texas middle school student was hit and killed today during the time of the National Walkout when he tried to cross the freeway – Loop 375 in northeast El Paso. Though he was not actually participating in the walkout, he and another group of 12-15 students jumped the wall and left the campus during the walkout. It was a fatal mistake.
The students from Parkland Middle School took advantage of the National Walkout Day today to sneak off and do their own thing. Though a staff member was posted at the front and back doors of the school, the group of students left by a side door.
Jonathan Benko, 11, was struck by a Ford F150 on the busy freeway. Ysleta Independent School District officials are questioning the other members of the group that were with him, trying to determine why they left the sanctioned event. Hint: necause they’re kids, and that’s what kids at that age do…whatever seems most exciting. The actual walkout ended at the football field.

....no adult supervision... Letting
11 year old students roam off school
grounds....NEGLIGENCE!.. PERIOD
Is this northeast or far east EP?
I haven’t been on this highway, since it’s completion and cannot remember.
Yes, in a nutshell.
*Clue: it is not to catch debris like on NASCAR tracks.
kids are supposed to be in school....this is on the school officials who allowed this “walkout” to occur.
North East El Paso.
Thanks. I was trying to place it.
So sad. Prayers up for his family and friends.
The district will likely be held liable.
OT....what is your fave Mexican Food restaurant in EP?
Maybe his family can sue Boss Hogg, among others.
Lesson Learned?
If we ban private vehicle ownership, we could save almost 30,000 lives per year!
The gun control protesters have blood on their hands!
Parkland Middle School? How tragic and ironic re that school name.
My granddaughter found out about an unauthorized planned walkout at her school and told her mother, who then told the school officials who didn’t know about it.
It petered out like George Costanza swimming in cold water.
and yet, there's time for the kids to be let out to pretend their protesting something....like who isn't against shooting up schools....
Waiting breathlessly for a statement from David Hogg....waiting...
“His blood is on the hands of the cynical leftists who run our so-called “educational” system.”
Yes. In their make-believe world, they can’t foresee the consequences of their delusions.
I assume their will be some firings.
+1. Was it a full “auto” car?
Grab a seat...bring your lunch?
“Should we be calling for a ban on cars”......
No, but banning liberal educators might be a good place to start.
Screw the public school teachers that led elementary school-aged children out of the safety of their classes to be their political props.
That school, it’s administrators and teachers ALL have that kids blood on their hands. Promoting such walkouts is, or should be a “criminal” offense. Keep poltics out of schools completely and stop brainwashing the future generations.
