Things have sure changed since I was in high school. Sure, you had some political protests and walk outs, but if you didn’t attend a walk out, you weren’t suspended. I guess in the twenty first century under progressive liberal authoritarian rule, school and politics are quite a big different. A student at Hilliard Davidson High School in Ohio was actually suspended for one day because he did not participate in the anti-gun, left wing indoctrinated walk-out. You’d expect something like this to happen in California or New York. But Ohio?

High school student Jake Shoemaker, a senior at Hilliard Davidson High School in Ohio, was suspended for refusing to “follow instructions” when he opted to remain neutral during a nationwide student walkout on Wednesday.
In an interview with WSYX-TV, Shoemaker said “I really didn’t have a choice here. If you walked out you were with the protest, you were for gun control and anti-gun violence. And if you sat in this pit with all these other people you were pro gun-violence.”
The student further defended his decision, saying “It’s the least political protest that exists. The thing that I was protesting was politics in the classroom. I feel it has no place in a school, in a district, anywhere.”
A day before the protest, Shoemaker met with the school’s principal to discuss the purpose of the protest. According to Shoemaker, the principal explained that the walkout was a way for “students to express themselves.”
During the protest, Shoemaker says he just worked on his homework. When his teacher and the other students returned, he was served a one-day suspension slip.
