    1. It is not surprising that nearly all the comments that follow are from boot-licking curmudgeons.

      Your generation ruined our country. Please, just go away and die.

      6

      1. You are such a baby. Go cope. We had to stop your generation from eating tide pods, and tell you which bathroom to use.

        11
        3
        1. A toddler is developmentally unable to determine that a Tide Pod is dangerous to put in their month.

          As a an adult, you chose to give this dangerous man our presidency and you continue to support him. You are the idiot. And to think that you believe your point is logical. Very sad.

          3
          10
    2. They have no idea what they are protesting. What’s your plan ? Just open the door? Do your parents leave the door open at home?
      If you want to allow everyone in the world just walk in because they are worse off , that’s about 7 billion people. Is that your plan?
      Ice is arresting criminal illegals. We had no shortage of criminals of our own, we don’t need to import more

      20
      2
      1. Look at the news genius ice is NOT jus arresting criminals, they are specifically targeting ANYONE who have brown hair and an accent.

        4
        10
          1. Your Dear Leader’s irrational actions are causing the stock market to tank. You may have to get that part time job at Walmart to pay for that big ass truck that your cult requires you to drive.

  1. Good for CHS. This is totally unacceptable! I hope they follow through with the unexcused absences . They should not be protesting during school

    32
    10
    1. If a rally was held at 5pm on the sidewalks of Central, how many students would show? If this rally was planned for after school hours, I’m sure these students would have their butts in their nice warm home

      14
      1
    1. Plenty of parents support this. Plenty of teachers do not. Don’t assume that just because they’re teachers that they all teach or approve of this. I can assure you that they don’t.

  2. All students who walk out should have another lesson assigned. Each student shall have 10 random illegals assigned to live in their residence for which they’ll have to provide room and board. They should also have Venezuelan gang members living next door and in 30 days write a report on how their lives were affected.

    29
    13
    1. Well I think if their parents aren’t white and own land they shouldn’t protest either. We all know that only white land owning men have the right to protest the government. Repeal the 19th amendment and really make this country great again

  3. I’m sure Ice will see a buncha kids protesting and say, you know what guys? The central kids with pink hair are right, let’s go home.

    17
    5
  4. If you’re leaving, don’t come back. ICE is law enforcement, period. It’s been turned into a circus by the left‑wing loons. The reason it looks chaotic is because they’re turning it into that. FAFO- that’s why people are being shot. Law enforcement has a right to go home to their families each and every night. These people protesting are the problem, not the solution. It’s un‑American, period. Stop being manipulated by the media; you’re acting like lemmings. Remember, the enemy in our country is from within right now. Our adversaries are licking their chops. Wake up!!!! Do you think these pukes would defend our country if we were attacked, not a chance. They are turncoats, they just like to protest. What other group of law breakers will they protest next? Anyone participating in this walk out is part of the problem, no shame. If a teacher participates, they should be Fired. You don’t get to decide which laws you’re going to follow.
    Also, keep in mind, the poster child for this chaos is Minnesota, the epicenter of mental illness and crooks. Please give this state to Canada

    23

    1. I will bet the Number of Girls participating in this grand idea will be 5-1. Real Boys-future men, please take notice of these women, they are the future Bat Shit Crazies ones, they can’t be fixed. You might love them however, I would recommend staying far away. But please don’t marry, you’ve been warned.

      19

  5. Shame on central for even allowing the flyers to be at the school. Where in the hell is the respect that people are supposed to have for authority??? School is for learning, and, if the kids are not there to learn but to protest, then, they are trespassing. Lock their asses up and let mom and dad bail them out. When it hits the pocketbook, maybe parents will sit up and start teaching the kids respect.

    19
    7
  6. I never thought “Can I please see the warrant?” would be a controversial statement in the United States.

    10
    1
  7. Westosha is focusing on allowing free speech whilst also ensuring the safety of their students. While you may not agree with the reasons for the walkout, giving students a safe place to be able to express their views and protest in a peaceful way is undoubtedly the best course of action. Families can choose whether to punish their student for an absence rather than the school enforcing an extra punishment aside from their normal notification of an unexcused absence.

    9
    22
    1. Safety? It’s 10 below zero out. Maybe the Patriots should protest the next day, where does it end? Let them protest after school in the football field, let see how many people show up. You have no right to protest without consequences; free speech comes with conditions. If you leave the school grounds you will be suspended, free speech all you want.

      24
      3
    2. Brookcleo….
      They can protest after school, on their own time,with their parents providing them their “safe place” it’s NOT the schools responsibility to babysit these kids. They have no respect for authority and LEO and will accomplish nothing.

      16
      3
  8. Free speech??? What?? We are talking about kids here. Once again…what about respect for authority??? Nothing in this world is free, unless you are an illegal living here. Hell, I worked for what I have and they still get better medical coverage than most veterans!!! Unless these kids that are spouting their “free speech”, are willing to put their name on the dotted line to serve this country, they can just go to school to learn. What they do on their own time is their own business, but, school is for learning, not protesting. This is exactly why our country is going down the crapper, no one has to pay consequences. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

    21
    5
  9. What a stupid thing to protest. They just want to “fit in” with the losers and crazies online. What a bunch of idiots LMAO

    17
    4
  10. Let every student in both high schools look at who is in class and who is attending the ICE Protest.

    Then you will know exactly WHO IS WHO !!!!

    Both boys and girls can look directly at those people and see who you want to be friends with. Who you want to date. Who you might want to spend the rest of your life with.

    Or Who you want to actually try to convince them to change sides !!

    Let this be a full on learning experience of judging a book by its cover.
    It will be telling on not only who is on what side but more importantly if you are willing to admit in front of all your peers that you stand up for your side and are proud to do it !!!

    This is PERFECT !! Stand up for what you Believe !!

    Just be ready for the Fallout

  11. These students have no idea what thy are even protesting about. Tik tok, Instagram and Facebook reels/ influencers that are paid by political parties have informed the students. Most adults that vote do not even know. Also I feel like since most of these students are under the age of 18 (legal adult who makes choices for themselves) doesn’t the school have a responsibility to A) keep track B) protect C) say no to minors! It’s a school not a village hall. Use it to educate and learn ethics and manners.

    4
    2
  12. Bottom line is that either they just want an excuse to skip school and/ or, they are just dumbass libtarded dumocratic assholes! Either way, FUCK THEM!

    7
    4
  13. Interesting comment by the district, “…the DISTRICT is not supporting or endorsing the even…”

    Of course not, BUT THE TEACHERS ARE SUPPORTING AND ENDORSING it and most likely came up with this idiotic idea. No way the kids thought of this themselves.

    4
    5
    1. Teachers are the bain of society. Coddled little marxists with zero real world experience. How many have illegal gang bangers or rapist pedophiles living with them. Those who can do, those who can’t teach.

      4
      5
      1. So we should all go back to the non educated days?? Or better yet let’s only let the rich white kids learn and send the rest to the factory

    2. You need to stop assuming that all teachers are supporting and endorsing this. They are not. There are more parents that support their kids doing this than teachers and, God forbid, you tell the little darlings no. The kids are constantly using social media. That’s likely where most of these ideas come from. Maybe restrict the time your kids spend on their phones.

    1. what’s stopping you? Why don’t you walk out of your job (if you have one)? No one’s stopping you from protesting ICE. It’s the American way, right?
      Teach your kids that whenever they don’t like something, just walk out. I’m sure that will serve them well in life

  14. My son said the NOT one student left his class today. They were taking finals and would not pass the class if they walked out.

    2
    1
  15. If they want to protest pick a time when you are not supposed to be in school learning. Anyone who walked out should be suspended. And any staff involved should get a few days off with no pay. We pay taxes for the children to go to school. Get politics out of our schools.

  16. Leftists are a strange brew. They love to revile trump as a pedophile and a rapist yet they are perfectly happy to import more from the third world. They hate America but think everyone should come here. Hypocritical psychopaths
