A mass walkout at a Silver Spring, Md., high school on Monday to protest Donald Trump’s presidential election victory began when a group of students decided to take to the streets rather than remain on campus for a school-sanctioned demonstration.
“More than 100 students from Montgomery Blair High School, in Silver Spring, walked out in a planned protest at about 10 a.m.,” Washington, D.C. newsradio station WTOP reported on its website Monday. “Montgomery County school officials said Montgomery Blair High approved a plan allowing students to protest on the football field on school grounds.”
“After an hour in the stadium, students decided to leave campus with the objective of receiving more media attention,” reported Montgomery Blair’s student-run newspaper Silver Chips.
“I just feel like if we’re in the stadium no one’s gonna see our protest. We gotta get out and show everyone what we’re doing. I feel like the protest should stay peaceful,” sophomore Ariana Brenig told the student paper, who reportedly was wearing a T-shirt reading “Rapists go to the big house not the White House.”

Suspensions NOW.
ReplyDeleteschool planned indoctrination. they don't even know what they are protesting and the instigator was a black teacher.
ReplyDeleteTeachers using kids to protest for them.
ReplyDeleteSchools were set up as institutions of learning, and instruction should be occurring as opposed to these sorts of activities. The Principal was wrong to allow this, and should have simply said that much and to further tell the students to protest on their own time - otherwise this looks like a school sanctioned event

ReplyDeleteGov Hogan what are you going to do about this I Want these TEACHERS FIRED.
ReplyDeleteThe administrators and teachers need to be fired for politicizing education and using the students as proxy protestors...they're teaching our children the wrong way to do things!
ReplyDeleteMaryland Libtards for you.
ReplyDeleteHogan is no better if he doesn't address it.
Montgomery Blair High has 2800 students. 100 walking out is one student in 28.
ReplyDeleteWould it have made the news if only 50 had walked out? 25? 10?
I would suspend all the students and the administrators and teachers should be fired. Tired of this crap!
ReplyDeleteThis is up to the county residents and their school board, but heads should roll.
ReplyDeleteSoros puppets.
