Virginia Schools Maine On How To Deal With ICE-protesting Students: Suspend, Not Mollycoddle

When students walked out of Maine schools recently, allegedly protesting immigration enforcement, they did so with complete impunity.

But when the same thing happened in Virginia last week, school officials suspended more than 300 kids.

In the Prince William County protest, some kids walked more than two miles to a nearby shopping center.

School officials confirmed 303 students were suspended for leaving school grounds without permission.

Compare that punitive action to Camden, Maine where a recent obscenity-laced ice protest prompted administrators to do nothing more than inform students of the “expectation that they be respectful and peaceful during their protest.”

In Maine the concern of school officials was more over worried parents videotaping and later publicizing the protest than the students leaving school.

Forgive, for they know not what they do.
Pray, they learn with ears to hear, eyes to see, & truth proclaimed. History & Bible studies would be a great start (less gaming).
