Sounds like Texas has marxist administrators and teachers like Utah.

Walk out of my classroom?
Pop Quiz! Write your name on the piece of paper, 100% for a daily grade.

I've heard of professors warning of pop-quizzes for the Monday after Thanksgiving break. But for the few students that show up the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, they'll say "You know that pop quiz next week? Don't worry about it."

Here in Florida, mandatory 3-day out of school suspensions.

State funding is based on average daily attendance among other things. If TEA would require the protesters to be counted absent, even if they don't walk off until after 10am, then the districts don't get funded for those students for that day.

Watch how quickly it stops when their funding takes a hit.

TEA is owned by the leftists. You think anyone is gonna crack down on them?

I remember walkouts when I was in Jr. High. Students protesting HB 72 "no pass, no play". It was the mid-80s. I dont think most students cared about the bill, it was more of "hell yeah, we're gonna skip class".

I'm watching one of these protests, complete with Mexican flags, occurruring in uptown Dallas. Police escorts blocking traffic. Looks like teachers leading the way.

Sure this is organic.

aisd will be run by the state soon enough.

Correct. You don't even need to actually do the protests. If the right would just plan to have one every Friday morning from 8-11 until school is out for summer. Announce that you are expecting 50% of the students to participate. Remember protesting is an excused absence. They will amend this policy quickly.

Maybe one you you teachers can enlighten me- why are the kids not being punished for skipping school?

Austin isd updated their policy to:

Quote:

If the protest moves more than 300 feet away from the building, administrators and staff will stay on campus, while police will follow the students to monitor safety. Once students leave campus, local law enforcement will monitor them, rather than AISD police, Segura said.

It says nothing about curbing the actions of the students

I've read where a school cannot force students to stay in a classroom or campus. So, if a student decides to go protest, or leave, the school lets them, apparently without punishment.

in an email I recently received, Round rock isd basically said if you wait until attendance is taken, then leave, you're good to go

They say students have a 1st amendment right to speech. They quoted in their email

Quote:

---

Students do not shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expression at the schoolhouse gate.

---

They conveniently left out the next part

Quote:

---

Student expression that is protected by the First Amendment may not be prohibited absent a showing that the expression will materially and substantially interfere with the operation of the school or the rights of others.

---

I can think of few less disruptive things to the operation of a school than mass walkout over the federal govt enforcing the laws its has already passed.

Why are students who participate in such walkouts not be punished for walking out? Do kids not get punished for skipping school anymore?

---

Take attendance after those brats leave.

Students from San Angelo Central High School protested against ICE during lunch today. Big turnout. It's cool to protest ICE.

San Angelo High School Students Protest ICE

Kids in Cedar Park blocking traffic in the roads around HEB at Parmer and Whitestone. Police just standing by.

Agree with San Angelo. Many of them look like they're just happy to be there and not in class. It's the cool thing to do right now.

Why don't we see interviews with the "activists" with them explaining what ICE does?

LOL, all those immigrants and their children will take their jobs and their children's jobs.
But of course I think lots of the youngsters actually think they will live an upper middle class life on handouts and part time work.

Yep.

Which is why they are using the 1st amendment excuse at the moment. After 10am, they get funding...so they dont care.

If that changed, like you suggested, the school admins would lock this down overnight.

That's all this is.

It's an excuse to skip class.

Probably because from what I could see, it was much less of a 'protest', and much more of a bunch of kids feeling empowered and important because they were skipping class.

The pace of walking was pretty fast, and they were making no attempt to engage in any dialogue. Just a bunch of kids acting like kids, not realizing that they appeared much more as useful, entitled idiots. But again, I didn't get the feeling they were interested in changing anyone's mind. It was just something for them to do.
