I am thinking that the school suspended classes and if the teachers wanted to walk, they could.  And then the rest of the teachers were assigned to monitoring the alternative study hall?

Or hang out in the lounge? 

Sounds pretty stupid. Teachers should be teaching their class that they get paid to teach. Again, if you marched in this you’re a tard

Should the students who walk out of school, directing anger at lawmakers over lack of gun reform, be suspended or given detentions?  

No. Fuck administrators with little man syndrome that sit around and worry about rules and punishments for the pettiest shit all day.

It’s not like this is a weekly occurrence, and of course there’s the double standard that it was OK when this stuff happened in the 60’s-70’s and now it’s completely out of line.

Their primary responsibility is to the students. If the circumstance suggests that the teachers stay in the classroom with the majority of students, that's where they belong. They can express their political views on their time, not mine.

I don't know if you are getting my point.  I'm saying that it probably wasn't a choice given to the teachers.  The administration said no classes during that time period.  Either participate in the walkout, or help monitor the alternative study hall.

Today administrators do the opposite.  Kids get away with everything

Sadly, doing the right thing too often will get you sued or fired...or both.

Or he could have worked on his math in study hall.

QO falling for clickbait.

Dear Students,

We are taking students on a protest march that supports the political agenda we adhere to.  If you do not want to come with us then go to study hall and work on math (that we are supposed to be teaching you, but cannot due to our taxpayer-funded absence).

Sincerely,

Liberal administrators and militant NEA

Teachers: If you walk out of my class, you'll be suspended from school!

Also teachers: It's the day before Christmas break, watch this movie. 

We are talking about a few minutes here. It's not like the walk out is an entire day. Good schools, teachers and administrators will try to use this as a learning opportunity, not as vehicle for punishment.

Also- it is not fair to compare school to work. Very different dynamics.
