Link to article from the Baltimore Sun:
From the article:
“The
district’s proposal is believed to be one of very few in the country that would
formally let students take an excused day off to join marches, lead protests,
lobby leaders, campaign for candidates or otherwise partake in civic action. It
comes in a year that has seen high school students at the forefront of
political protests across the country, particularly on gun violence issues, but
extending into political campaign matters including student debt, health care
and abortion rights.”
It’s very sad that extremists (liberal politicians, teacher unions, hippies, etc.) continue to use
young children to fight their political battles.
