2. I'm not a lawyer but I feel like Tinker allows one to express themself but that doesn't include walking out.

Mind you, I’m happy the youth are protesting.

I don’t want to be guilty of getting anyone in trouble for skipping class or walking off school grounds when they are supposed to be in class. Schools have to keep order. If anything violent happened and schools didn’t try to maintain a learning environment then the school could be accountable.

That said, wearing anti-ICE clothing or other symbols of protest on the same day nationwide might be interesting.
