Thousands of Tucson-area students walked have out of school to show their support for illegal immigration over the last week.

Now, some teenagers at the school where the Southern Arizona walkouts began are vocally coming forward to say they're against students skipping school just to make a political point.

What next, eating ice cream sundaes in protest? Going to Disneyland in protest? Having sex in protest?

Let's all do what we like to do most in the world, and call it a protest.

So courageous.

Now if these kids would give up something they liked in protest, that would mean more.

Ennis students barred from Prom (for skipping to school to attend immigration protests)

"That's messed up because we been stressing over prom for like practically a whole year," Lesly said. "We've been excited about it and now they're taking it away from us for doing something that we ... strongly believe is right, and they shouldn't be doing that."

Awwwwww! Guess they learned that actions have consequences.

Here wipe your poor crying eyes and face with this --

That is hysterical! Borrowing it, that is, if you don't mind!

Back in the '70s, when I was in high school, a bunch of kids left classes in a day of protest against the VN war (yes, I'm ooooold). I was one of the few who stayed in class, as my brother was currently serving, and I didn't think it was right to protest with a loved one "in". I wasn't particularly political, all I basically cared about was boys and having fun back then. The kids weren't punished for it, but they should've been.

I don't think I'd have left class even w/o my brother being there, though.

And you are welcome to it.

Let's just say I do know from first hand experience and knowledge about the BLACK PANTERS, the VVAW, and the SDS. We're not old we're just 22 with (CLASSIFIED Presidential Eyes Only)-years of experience.

Good on those kids who stayed in school!
