Yes, this is the school that had the walkout. I saw it on local TV news. It was a lark, an excuse to get out of school for a few minutes. Some of the kids were throwing gang signs, some shouted "Bush sucks" and the rest just waited until the teachers herded them back inside in time for school to start at 8:50AM. There was no actual walkout, just a "walk-about" until class time supervised by teachers, who probably organized it to support the clown of a "teacher". The media ate it up.

That school protest was pure BS-----nothing more than an excuse to skip school for almost all of them. Back when I was in high school, the kids would do the same thing; but it was usually in the event of the death of a student. You would have 600 kids who never met the kid, supposedly attending his funeral instead of going to class.

Kids will take advantage of any opportunity to skip school.
