After a student-led protest and walkout at River Ridge High School in Olympia on Jan. 31 in support of a student-athlete who was the recent subject of racist taunts during a basketball game, North Thurston Public Schools said it will halt student protests on campus.

The Black Student Union organized the walkout in hopes of putting an end to racism and rape culture within schools, according to flyers for the “BSU student strike.”Students carried signs and chanted “Black lives matter” and “we have rights.”

The district said it is listening to student feedback on the investigation process with a view to updating its protocols. Beginning Feb. 7, officials said it will no longer allow students participating in the walkout to protest on campus as they will be expected to attend their classes.

Never should have allowed the teachers to organize them in the first place.

Instead of protesting, how about create a solution? No? You’d rather whine avoid a problem than actually do something to fix it. Think about it. The hours spent protesting and making signs could be spent looking for people who need help due to racial abuse or rape.

North Thurston School Board meeting on 8 Feb at 6pm.

The GOP will double-down on their attack when they discover she went maskless to read any book. Quadruple down if it's a book to celebrate Black History. She was wrong. Just say it. So did you or did you not wear a mask?
