Wrong. The title is correct.
Why she he be forced to miss classes and cot be educated?
Where are the teachers? Are they being paid their salaries to protest/
What if only 1-3 kids wished to protest? ... class is canceled?
Taxpayers and this student, Jacob, should sue the district.
You’re absolutely correct about the protest itself being wrong. People are not paying school taxes in order to promote the social cause of the moment.
I’m a veteran teacher. And I’ll bet you that 3/4 of the teachers in that school were against the protest. But they must follow orders. Sure, a few teachers might be Social Justice Warriors. But the majority have material to cover, and tests to prepare for. They’d rather be in class. I know I would.
So yeah, the district was wrong for allowing the protest on school time. But the kid was also wrong by not following a reasonable safety rule. If you don’t want to protest, report to the study hall.
Now, if the kid was told that he must go to the protest...that would be lawsuit time.
