It’s not a done deal, but Montgomery County Public Schools’ board members voted unanimously for preliminary approval of the proposed policy change at their meeting on Sept. 11.
If the proposed policy changes get final approval, public school students in the county would get up to three excused absences per academic year for civic engagement.

ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS
That should free up thousands of teens to attend the prolife March for Life in DC in January.
More liberal indoctrination approved by the school system!
Montgomery County is nothing but Liberal/Democraps so on it goes. Ship them all to Calistinkingfornia.
Maryland is the dumbest damn state without a doubt just for doing nonsense such as this
With the Board choosing what protests will qualify. It's a slippery slope.
As long as those excuses go for students attending any protest!!
803, really? So conservatives don't believe in encouraging kids to be active citizens who are encouraged to practice their first amendment rights?
Someone should sue the board of education!
9:38 I think what 8:03 is getting at, they wouldn't do the same to attend an NRA rally.
They are children with a CHILD'S MENTALITY! So, absolutely NOT! If Demoncrats like yourself had COMMON SENSE YOU wouldn't either. You all are just SICK and DISGUSTING TRASH!
Participate with black masks and baseball bats
Pussy hats for everyone!

They can protest all they want. There are 365 days in a year and they are required to go to school for 180 days that leaves more than enough days they can protest on their own time. This should NOT be an excused absence.
9:38 thought he had a really smart, argument ending retort.
Big fail.
Typical Democrat Indoctrination!! They should be arrested for Truancy violations.
2:13 That is too funny! Lol!
The dumbest thing I have ever heard. Miss school to protest and act like an ass. Brilliant! Montgomery liberal county! I bed if Obama was still in office and a conservative wanted to protest him, this would never fly.
Should be interesting if a student chooses to protest a LIBERAL cause...will they still get the free pass? I seriously doubt it...seems like a great basis for a massive lawsuit...
