I don't think it works that way when pertaining to schools.
There are Supreme Court rulings in regards to public schools.

Okay? This is a borderline free speech issue where a government entity is telling people they can't do something.
It's like ignoring the 1st amendment in defense of the 2nd.

Yep. But since people agree with it in principle on this site, no one will agree with you. But if the opposite occurred with some liberal talking point, people would be up in arms.

Large part of the successes in a Texas education is the ISD.
The guy is more beholden to the citizens of his direct district than a politician.

Texas schools receive state funding based on average daily attendance. Having 500+ out for 3 days would have a pretty large impact on that number.

Whether I support the kids' message or not, courts will balance their First Amendment rights against the disruption caused by a mass walkout. If anything, current jurisprudence has been swinging back towards the schools in the interests of "safety".

I'd have a protest every Friday starting at lunch time.
Get a good start to the week

A number of other school districts in and around the Houston area have said disciplinary action would be taken if kids walked out.

Not if their attendance policy is correctly worded.
He is literally not telling them they can’t do something. Just that if you skip school to do it, you will be punished. Not for what you did or why, but the act of skipping school.
Like I said, it all depends on how the policy is worded.

They can protest all they want. There are just consequences to doing it during school.
Just like people can say racist things or other offensive shite but they can get fired from their jobs. There are consequences to choices you make. A good lesson for these virtue signaling kids.
The full post was a pretty good one. Fair and balanced. But I’m sure a bunch of over emotional anti gun loons lost their shite so they took it down.

Because any dissenting opinion is now dismissed as virtue signalling

Had the idiot Superintendent simply got involved with the students, he and his entire staff could have facilitated and participated in the protest with the kids. A simple change of narrative - to ensure it's about school safety and not guns - would have led headlines all over the nation, who would applaud him. But leave it to simple-minded authority figures who puff their chests out and miss the forest for the trees...

Yeah I could see this being the key.

I get the saftey angle too, like someone mentioned, schools are responsible if one of these kids gets hit by a car.

It'd be cuck this cuck that all over the thread if this was a school responding to a gun ban or something

They actually should be in school during school hours. After all, it is school.
Posted on 2/22/18 at 12:10 pm to trom83
Are they protesting guns or just the violence?
Second, while walking out is inherently peaceful speech, it is nonetheless disruptive, and such speech can be curtailed. Wearing black armbands, as a different example, does not disrupt class and is totally acceptable.
