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.

In ‘58, as a Junior in HS, I had a 6th period chemistry class. No air conditioning back then, so the large windows were often open. After roll was taken and the boring class had gone on a few minutes, several of us would just hop out of the windows.

Of course, I failed the course and had to take it again as a Senior to graduate. ...I barely passed. Just wasn’t my thing. ...Atomic weights, etc., on tests were foreign to me.

I’d more say if his parents had used their heads, he’d have been home or in school, not walking around on the freeway.

I’m sorry, but the kid was stupid. I’m surprised that there isn’t more accidents like that. Of course, if his parents homeschools him, he’d be alive..

Ban pickups! People are killed in more vehicle accidents than by guns.

Prayers for the family, but he tried to cross the highway on his own. There is barely a night the local news doesn’t report some idiot getting trying to cross a highway. One would think idiots would learn, but the don’t. That said, if Hogg & Co. hadn’t encouraged walk outs, if the msm hadn’t mad heroes out of the “survivors” and if the school hadn’t let them out of class, then he and his friends (guessing he had his posse with him) wouldn’t have used this as an excuse to skip. How many other times has he skipped and did the parents ever discipline him?

Someone is going to own that school district

You're property taxes will go up to pay for the suit. It's no skin off the school's back.

Bullshit. His death was caused by poor judgement on his own part.

The walk-out was held on school grounds. He chose to leave the school grounds.

He was in school but with a few others left the school grounds
during the ‘walk out’ event.

Hey, attention Hogg and all your leftist trainers, so how many more children will die for your cause?

I say, "Leftist Walkouts Kill Children! Never Again!"

These anti-2 school administrators who let hundreds or thousands of children out of their school during the school day with no way of keeping them in the "designated protest area" need to be sued out of existence.

I'm surprised there are not more accidents as well. There may be and we just don't hear about them. I just happened to stumble across this article.

Letting 11 Year olds out and about en masse during schools hours is never a good idea. The natural tendency for a number of kids, not all, is to run. I would of. I hated school.

Very few kids even care about this. The walkout is a chance for them to get out of school - for whatever the reason. Heck, yeah, I would walk out too just to get out of boring math work! A chance to goof off or do work? That is a no-brainer.

I’d have put as far a distance between myself and that event as possible.

Myself, from first to eighth grade, the school was about 1000 feet from my house...sometimes, I wwent home or sometimes I went with my friend to his house. That is until we broke his sister’s easy bake oven one day. He made chicken noodle cake...in the easy bake oven. His parents were made. (His parents both worked at their pet store.)
