On a tangent, does this bother anyone else. The people were shot and killed. It's a fact. There's no allegedly about it. Don't think there's any liability danger in saying that something that clearly happened actually happened.

The allegedly is that he did it. He isn't convicted yet.

"Needville ISD will not allow a student demonstration during school hours for any type of protest or awareness," Superintendent Curtis Rhodes, of Needville, Texas, wrote in a now-deleted Facebook post, threatening a three-day suspension. "Life is all about choices and every choice has a consequence whether it be positive or negative. We will discipline no matter if it is one, fifty, or five hundred students involved."
It's the first part I find problematic.
"We will not accept any classroom disruptions and all school rules will be followed. Class walkouts, etc. will be punished in accordance with standard rules" is legit IMO. But this seems too much like an emotional reaction by the ISD.

Unless, you know, a kid shoots up 17 students. Then it's business as usual.

I see that. It still just seems silly to me. It really doesn't have anything to do with anything or matter at all, but I still find it annoying. It's pretty clear as day what happened.

These little buttholes are walking out of school to get a day off of school.
The kids can claim they dont feel like they are safe... if enough kids walk out, the parents and tax payers will have some questions to answer if only to calm the narrative.

graduated from Needville. Good for Rhodes. Glad the District is back to making a stand against idiots. That district used to be known for no nonsense discipline.

If there was ever a way to guarantee a protest, this is how you do it

Facist. Afraid the students are right and standing up to gun nuts. If they walked out for Jesus. He would give them an award

Just don't apply what you learned at school to the school!

The right to protest is a long-standing protection afforded by the U.S. and Texas constitutions. This right is contained both in the freedom of speech and in the freedom to assemble, which protect not only the ability to verbalize protests and engage in symbolic speech such as wearing an armband, but to arrange peaceful marches and protests on certain public lands.

The right to protest is protected by both the U.S. Constitution and the Texas Constitution.
The First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution states that “Congress shall make no law … abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble.
The Texas Constitution, in Article I, sections 8 and 27 protects the “liberty to speak, write or publish … opinions on any subject,” and “the right … to assemble.

Majority of HS kids are idiots.
Smart kids who want change will study hard and pursue careers where they can make a difference in the world.

That's how you do it. Don't let them push you around. You want to walk out go ahead and don't come back!

Once again, Texas is showing Louisiana how it’s done.

Zero tolerance in anything is dumb by default. There are gray areas in all aspects of life.
