District Will Suspend Kids Who Leave Class To Protest Florida Shooting

NEEDVILLE, TX (CBSDFW.COM) — “We are here for an education and not a political protest.” That’s is the message from Needville ISD Superintendent Curtis Rhodes Tuesday in response to a call by political groups for students to walk out of class to protest gun issues in the wake of the Florida school shooting.
In a post on Facebook, Rhodes said, “A school is a place to learn and grow educationally, emotionally and morally. A disruption will not be tolerated.”
Rhodes said that students who walk out of class — or disrupt school — to protest current gun laws face a possible suspension. “They will be suspended from school for three days and face all the consequences that come along with an out of school suspension.”
“The Needville ISD is very sensitive to violence in schools including the recent incident in Florida,” Rhodes continued in the post. “Anytime an individual deliberately chooses to harm others, we are sensitive and compassionate to those impacted.”
Addressing the planned possible protests directly Rhodes said, “There is a ‘movement’ attempting to stage walkouts/disruptions of the school through social media and/or other media outlets. Please be advised that the Needville ISD will not allow a student demonstration during school hours for any type of protest or awareness!!”
Rhodes said that — regardless of how many kids participate — nobody will escape discipline “no matter if it is one, 50, or 500 students involved.”
Rhodes said a parents note will not alleviate the discipline.

This would be the only reason I would do it.
Before I thought it was dumb.
So much for protecting constitutional rights. I guess some are valued more than others.

If you really care about the cause, then it's worth it. Everything has a price.

Good. They should take time in school to learn about civics and then go after school or on the weekend to put their knowledge into action.
Sounds like this was organized by the failing student in class who was looking for a way to skip school.

You don’t get to excercise your rights and live free of consequences

Interesting take, but I think you just pulled it out of your arse.

Actually, you are free from consequences from the government.
A private school or an employer would be a different story.

freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

That’s not true in all settings. Go excercise your right to free speech in a courtroom...tell the judge to go frick himself

In loco parentis
There are several reasons why violations of student rights are upheld by the courts. One of the most basic reasons is known as in loco parentis. This Latin phrase basically means that while a student is in the custody of a school, the school can and often should act as a parent. In this duty of the school, many decisions can be made that are outside the normal governmental purview. The other basic reason for violation of student rights has to do with the goal of school — to educate. If an act of a student can interfere with the educational process, that act may, in many cases, be suppressed.
A few things should be noted here. First, most of this essay applies only to public schools. As private institutions, private schools are not subject to any restrictions in terms of violations of the rights of students. Hence, while a public school might have to prove that its violations are for a higher purpose or stem from its in loco parentis responsibilities, a private school may set limits arbitrarily.

The superintendent isn't saying they're going to jail. Just that they will be suspended for a day or two.
A district superintendent has the right to do that whether you disagree with it or not. Just like the kids have a right to go protest. Just like the parents have a right to vote out the superintendent if they don't like his policy.

So kids should be allowed to say anything they want in school free of consequence, iyo?
