Cops Threaten Wallace HS Protesters
A walkout protest by students at Wallace High School ended abruptly when they were told by police that they'd be arrested and have to spend the night in jail, according to a parent who sent the information to Mike Perry/KHQ. The students walked out of class around noon today to show their dissastisfaction for state Superintendent of Schools Tom Luna's proposed overhaul of Idaho's public education system. You can see a video of the protest here (caution: S-bomb ahead)
- Keith Erickson: My youngest daughter attends LCHS and says there is widespread dissatisfaction (not her word) for Luna’s proposal. There was a planned walkout yesteray, but she says “there were cops at every door” to deter the walkout so it never transpired.
Question: Are you surprised more high school students in North Idaho haven't walked out in protest?
