[url]http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2016/11/10/three-pittsburg-high-students-arrested-during-trump-protest/[/url] [quote]ANTIOCH (CBS SF) — Police in Antioch arrested three Pittsburg High School students Thursday morning during an anti-Donald Trump protest that ended up at Antioch High School, according to police. The protest involved between 200 to 400 Pittsburg students who walked out of class and off campus with their principal Thursday morning in protest of Trump being elected as the next U.S. president, according to Antioch police.... The crowd headed through Century Plaza in Pittsburg and into Antioch on Auto Center Way and Sycamore Drive, blocking traffic as they went. “These Pittsburg High protesters continued to cause havoc on Antioch campuses and in the surrounding neighborhoods for over two hours,” Antioch police said in a statement. Of the three Pittsburg student arrests, one was for allegedly throwing a dangerous object at police, trespassing on school grounds and being a disruptive presence at school; one was for allegedly inciting a fight with another student, trespassing on school grounds and resisting a police officer; and one was for allegedly assaulting a police officer.[/quote]
Seemed like a peaceful protest for the most part outside of the three that were (rightfully) arrested. Though I question the necessity of it and what the principal wanted to accomplish with their actions?

Any person in charge of public education should be concerned about the future of their work if the president doesn't believe in something as basic as climate change.

They just heard the words "corrupt Clinton," and kept repeating them over and over, not even understanding the context of those words, nor bothering to look at the race beyond that.

If being polite and trying to show them why their opinions are oppressive would have worked, it would have worked already. They want life a certain way, and don't want to deviate from that. Gay people? Just be straight. Need an abortion? Bear through it, have that baby. Transgender? Just a phase, work through it and tough it out.

I've never heard one of them say so, but I can imagine it's just like a lot of the Trump supporters I've already heard: "doesn't matter, still not as bad as Hilary." Which, needless to say, I think is an agonizingly bad reason that refuses to acknowledge context. However, I am still only assuming that that's what they'd say, and haven't heard any proper argument from someone saying "I'm black, and I'm voting for Trump because..."

You'd rather them support Hilary, who supports, and funds the same people who throw gays off of buildings, drown them, set them on fire? You could say that she's not directly doing that, but by doing deals with the Saudi's.. She kind of is an accomplice to it. They're not misguided. There has been dozens of pictures of black, latino, asian women, women Trump supporters on The Donald subreddit, stating various reasons to why they want Trump in. Stating that they're misguided, and not voting for the RIGHT person is just going against what you're saying. You're treating them as an object for voting purposes instead of who they are, and what they want. They've listened to what the man said, and decided they're fine with that. People of colour just didn't all of a sudden go; "Hey, it's that WHITE Trump guy! Hah, lets vote for him for the lulz!".
Are we just going to ignore the fact that getting kids to boycott school with you is a pretty pathetic way to push your agenda? Schools are suppose to be bias free and not suppose to shove political agendas of ANY kind down kids throats nor encourage civil disobedence among students.

It's hard to believe so many kids actually gave a shit about the election, my guess most did it because it was "the cool thing" rather than have an actual anger against Trump. Not to say there wasn't any at all, but 400 kids actually giving a shit about the election, with enough attention and care to know what's going on? Unlikely.

Even if those kinds of people were not a present problem in this election, a lot of people would've even vote for Hillary still. The simple fact that Hillary Clinton of all people was chosen to run was enough to drive away people who voted for Trump because he's """"anti-establishment"""" or people who just didn't trust her because of her dirty record.

There are certain things you don't do when you're at work or in a certain position. As a principle you don't take your students out to protest because as a principle your students safety is your primary responsibility, but you also can make the school district liable. It is pretty simple that none of the students would have been arrested, or put in danger if he did his job. If you want to protest with the students fine, but do it after school hours and after the school released the students. Instead you turned a school function into a protest and now the ISD is liable and you got your own students arrested.
I live two towns over, they blocked an off-ramp as well Pittsburg is a shithole
