FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WOWO) – Several Fort Wayne high school students walked out of school on Friday to protest immigration enforcement.
Fort Wayne Community Schools says all five high schools had students gather for discussions regarding the matter, and some students at South Side and Northrop high schools left the buildings to protest off school grounds.

A statement from the district claimed that they understand that peaceful expression and civic engagement can be learning experiences, but they have to prioritize student safety and supervision.

I was one of the organizers for south sides walk out and i have to say, it was the greatest community effort ive seen from my fellow students. I was very proud of everyone who participated.
And we wonder why our youth have ZERO respect for law en”force”ment….. ZERO respect for any type of authority…..
For the love of God, get rid of you ridiculous, people haired liberal teachers. poisoning the young minds to hate their country, their fellow citizens and themselves. We need leaders to strengthen our Republic, not live in their middle class working families basements.
