Ohio student suspended for staying in class during walkouts
Excerpt: An Ohio high school student says he tried to remain nonpolitical during school walkouts over gun violence and was suspended for a day because he stayed in a classroom instead of joining protests or the alternative, a study hall. Hilliard senior Jacob Shoemaker says school isn't the place for politics, and he wasn't taking sides Wednesday. The district says it's responsible for students' safety and they can't be unsupervised. Jacob's citation for not following instructions was shared online by a friend, prompting a flood of messages to his father. Scott Shoemaker says some people thought his son was suspended for walking out, and angry comments accumulated, including some that mistook Scott for the principal. He says he also got a couple death threats and had to consider switching phone numbers. (No, these protests aren't political, they are spontaneous, the teachers and administrators are carefully nonpartisan, yep, all that. Except this kid doesn't leave the classroom to take part, and bingo! he's suspended. Because he couldn't stay there unsupervised... ah, last time I checked it was the responsibility of the school to supply that supervision. So they couldn't find a teacher or even an aide or a security person or anyone to sit in the classroom with him? And he was instructed to leave the classroom? How is instructing a student to leave the classroom a nonpartisan act? I love it when the leftists let the mask slip and really reveal themselves for what they are. --Del. Totalitarians. ~Bob)
