Penn High School students stage walkover to protest ICE

About 80 students from Penn High School participated in an unsanctioned walkout to protest the recent actions of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Despite school administrators’ efforts to discourage participation, the students left their classes and circled the campus with some carrying signs.

Students from more schools, including Noblesville, are planning to hold walkouts next week to protest ICE.

To quote John Kennedy “This is a 12 peace bucket of stupid”. Their job in life at this time is to learn, not skip school to protest. They would better spend their time learning granny math and how to write cursive. Expel them sot the teachers can help those students that want an education.

I don’t think they are learning anything even if they are in class. Logic and reason elude them.

ICE should show up at these walkouts and round them up making sure to keep the families together as they go back to where they came from.

Tired of seeing foreign flags flying here.

Good for them exercising their rights! Looks like they learned from their government classes their right to protest. Kids are Americans too (thank you Bill O’Reilly)

And John Kennedy is stupider than Col. Sanders.

You can gleam insight into a person by the quotes they choose… tsk tsk.

So you chose failed RINO Bill O’Reilly? Says a lot.

While I agree with you that it is good to see the kids exercise their rights, it is bad to see them blindly support “the current thing” even when a little bit of critical thinking reveals that thing to be a farce. If you’re going to protest about something, you should at least understand it.

I could only hope that is sarcasm. They are minors and have no legal right to leave school and stage a protest. It’s just like leaving work for a protest, there is no right to do so and be paid or employed in the future. Protest on you own time.

If that was not sarcasm…I have no words that would allow to be printed.

Penn High School should school the students that the MN protests are following a “color revolution” playbook. Renee Good was part of this as a member of MN ICE Watch. Groups are trained by COPAL. MN and IDN organizations. Funding comes from multi-billion dollar organizations such as Tides Foundation, Open Society Foundation, Arabella, Neville Roy Singham (American Tech Billionaire). Maybe the students should know that they are protesting for a total transformation of America to a world where if this happens they will not have the freedom to protest.

Give all the protesters an English proficiency test.

Also, minor students don’t have the right to cancel classes and throw tantrums, and Col Sanders created a hugely successful business showing he was not stupid .

You can glean insight into a person by the slander they spew.
