Yahoo title - Ohio Student suspended for not taking part in Walkout

[Teppodama]

They're not the ultimate deciders of policy but students do have strength in numbers, that much is clear.

Policy is only as effective as ones ability to enforce it. The perception of there being an upper limit to ones ability to enforce a policy defines the limitations of a policy as well as highlighting the weaknesses of both the policy as an expression of authority and the means of either neutralizing it or manipulating it.

He was suspended for disobeying a directive from the school admin to go to study hall. He would not have been taught if he remained alone in the classroom without supervision.

Students are never supposed to be in classrooms without supervision.

This isn’t complicated

This.

I saw the same story with the same headline on Reddit. It's fake news.

because it also showed up on Reddit? Any official sources stating that it's fake? I know Reddit is a cesspool but that doesn't mean things talked about there aren't things that actually have in fact happened.

So,during the regularly scheduled class time the teachers were not available to teach. What were they supposed to be doing at that time?

Presumably outside overseeing the "walkout".

Also lmao at what is essentially a government-backed walkout. The point of a walkout is dissent, but they were basically told "go on the walkout or otherwise have your day disrupted so teachers can earn their paycheck by chaperoning an 18 minute 'protest'..."

Even the Yahoo news article mentions the actual reason he was suspended. Which is exactly what I stated.

This is really dumb, really fake news.

I meant the headline itself is fake news.

Most "fake news" is in sensationalist headlines.

Agreed. It's a misleading headline.

Well, here's another to potentially discuss...

Minn. student holding pro-gun sign escorted off campus during walkout

A video that showed a Minnesota high school student holding a pro-gun sign being escorted off campus during Wednesday’s national school walkout has gone viral.

A video posted by Facebook by user Kenny MacDonald showed a male student holding a sign that read, “Guns don’t kill people, people kill people” and being confronted by New Prague High School Principal Lonnie Seifert.

According to Mr. MacDonald, the student walked peacefully and quietly with his sign as fellow students participated in a nationwide walkout in honor of the 17 students and teachers who were killed in last month’s mass school shooting in Parkland, Florida. Other students, according to Mr. MacDonald, held signs that read, “Arm our teachers” but were not escorted off campus.

In the video, the school principal is seen leading the student away from the protest. According to Mr. MacDonald, the student was threatened to be put into a police car.

The video had been viewed more than 2.4 million times as of Thursday afternoon.

The New Prague Area school district issued a statement Thursday saying its policy regarding “distribution of non-school-sponsored material” requires students to obtain permission by the school administration at least 24 hours in advance.

So at issue is that his sign apparently was against school policy due to it not being vetted 24hrs prior to the protest. That brings into question whether any of the anti-gun protesters also had signs and if they in fact submitted requests for sign vetting or if the school provided a blanket authorization for any and all anti-gun protest signs that might be utilized during the walk out.

The story is covered in a few other articles I came across but I found no further information regarding that question.

I think the school would put its foot down if the circumstances were different.

What, you mean one they didn't agree with and support?

 

[BEER]

Agreed. It's a misleading headline.

Most fake news is simply misleading headlines. A significant amount of people will share and discuss news based off of headlines they've read without ever actually reading the articles.

No, I mean if the students were vandalizing school property or something more egregious like that. At that point it wouldn't matter how many students do it, I'd imagine they'd punish as many as they could.

Can't speak specifically on how this school would handle such but we've seen at least one example of a college were such destructive behavior occurred but saw no appreciable consequence come of it. But then, I believe highschoolers are generally less inclined to property destruction than your average college student when they have a point to make. Lol

I believe plenty actually partially read articles, which in fact can be worse because they generally only get a cursory idea of the validity of an articles subject. Some also just like arguing the subject whether they know it's false or not because it appeals to their interests and or belief.

So the real story is why was this kid on Fox news this morning being interviewed about this nonsense.

Because Fox news is the TV equivalent of your dumb uncle's friend posting dumb shit on facebook to rile up the masses.

 

[Literally Bricked]

I think people with basic reasoning skills will understand that these staged events aren't student led protests and they aren't "walkouts".

They seem sort of like going to church at Catholic schools, a big waste of time.

Here's a note from the principal, totally NOT fake news...

 

[Amerikuracana]

So basically he two options A.join the walkout or B. study hall for those choosing not to participate in the walkout. He made up his own rules and got suspended. What that old saying. "Play stupid games win stupid prizes"

So, resistance is futile? You sound defeated.

He actually protested a little. When we had our walk-out, we planned it over like 2 days and just walked the fk out. You people that are so sycophantic to the rules are fkn weird. I guess that's why I have so many kids.
