A principal at Wilson High School in Spring Township, Pennsylvania, ordered students who walked out of class to protest Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to return to class.
Across the country, students have walked out of school to protest ICE, especially since Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officers were involved in the fatal shootings of Alex Pretti and Renee Nicole Good in January. Principal Daniel Weber addressed the students in a video posted on TikTok by a user known as othersideofanalia.
“We go back to class and we’re good. If you stay out here, we will get your names, you will be suspended, OK? That is your option at this point because you are operating outside the bounds of what was granted,” Weber told the students. “That event was canceled. You left school without, you left school without permission. Your rights do not supersede the school. So if you understand that, that is your option.”

Students ditch class for a commie protest, and the principal drops the hammer: “Back to class or suspended.”
That’s exactly how any normal school handles little Red Guard rioters.

Should students be allowed to protest without school permission?
“If you wish to return, Doctor Damiani will let you in that door over there,” Weber continued. “If not, I will be getting your names. You will be suspended, OK? Those are your options, all right? Your rights do not exceed that of the school.”
The school district considered allowing an anti-ICE protest and had discussed the matter with students, but the event was cancelled, WFMZ TV, a TV station based in Allentown, Pennsylvania, reported. Roughly 60 students walked out of class to carry out the protest, according to WFMZ.
Other walkout protests have generated local and national attention. At Enumclaw High School in Washington state, police confirmed that two arrests were made, with one student being charged with assault, obstruction and resisting arrest, while another was charged with obstruction, according to a Friday Facebook post after independent journalists were targeted and assaulted.
During a Feb. 11 meeting of the Highline School Board near Seattle, Vince Glawe tore into the members of the board after his son was among students who participated in an anti-ICE walkout.
“I have the right to know where my child goes,” Glawe said during remarks that went viral. “That was taken from me. I was not given notice. I was not given an email. I was not given a call. You exposed him to real danger. That’s neglect and that’s endangerment.”
The Wilson School District did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation.
