Agreed. And, any that are students only wanted to get out of class for the day. This is not a new trick. They did this a couple of times at my high school. It was your typical loser students who always walked out -- not because they cared about any cause, but because they just wanted out of school.
It is ironic that the students were using their freedom of speech to protest freedom of speech.
The students had teachers pressuring them to go do it. What does a kid do when his teacher shuts down the class, lays a guilt trip on them, and tells them to do it? Perhaps some defied the teacher and got a bad grade for it or got publicly shamed.
Grants Pass is generally very conservative. The school management is not. However we have actively protested the firings, attended school board meetings, and filed recalls. I think the fired teacher and vice-principal were also planning to sue for wrongful termination. The net result was the board changed its decision.
There is a rumor - probably true - that some teachers took kids on a bus field trip to an aquarium and then had the bus detour to a gay pride rally event where there were kids dressed in drag etc.. A friend quit as a teacher over that crap.
It's Oregon. If you haven't been there the very liberal parts of Oregon are like a different country. Their cultural and value system is completely different. I had a family member from Liberal Oregon that had married in. For years I just thought that that person (sorry don't want to dox) was insane. Then I went to visit a very blue city in Oregon and I got my explanation. Culture completely different, ideals very different, and they aren't modest or quiet about it they are loud loud loud about it.
I would have thought of Grants Pass as in the redneck category though. Logging and hunting have always been big. Not a very sophisticated place for the most part.
Yeah but they sort of self segregate so the blue cities, are full of gluten free, we feed our cats vegetarian food types. If you leave those cities the remainder is pretty normal.

Good. Walk-out and don't come back, you morons.

It's called Ashland.
