Texas Schools Will Suspend Gun Control Protesters

Problem Student
Now, if only they would do this in the Universities also...

Leave it to Texas to lay down the law.

As students nationwide prepare to walk out of school in protest of the Second Amendment, one Texas school district is firing warning shots.

Curtis Rhodes, Superintendent of Needville Independent School District, sent a letter to parents and students telling them that walking out of school will not be accepted.

His letter read, in part:

The Needville ISD is very sensitive to violence in schools including the recent incident in Florida. Anytime an individual deliberately chooses to harm others, we are sensitive and compassionate to those impacted. There is a “movement” attempting to stage walkouts/disruptions of the school through social media and/or other media outlets.

Please be advised that the Needville ISD will not allow a student demonstration during school hours for any type of protest or awareness!! Should students choose to do so, they will be suspended from school for 3 days and face all the consequences that come along with an out of school suspension. Life is all about choices and every choice has a consequence whether it be positive or negative. We will discipline no matter if it is one, fifty, or five hundred students involved. All will be suspended for 3 days and parent notes will not alleviate the discipline.

A school is a place to learn and grow educationally, emotionally and morally. A disruption of school will not be tolerated.

Respect yourself, your fellow students and the Needville Independent School District and please understand that we are here for an education and not a political protest.

The event, National School Walkout, is planned for March 14.
