It's important for young people to get involved and be passionate about subjects that may affect their future and this is a learning experience.

As long as it's not once per week.

Judy Ostrom-Dixon

If they did it on a Saturday nobody would even know about it or care, politics is a topic that will hugely affect them and their future!

John Short

Politics is life and death, if they are educated enough in the issues facing the world that they want to protest, they should be allowed to.

Kenneth Swipies

Since the parents won't do it the children must.

Lani Shobe

Adults are ignoring the science. relying only on what's here now. and how changing their carbon footprint would affect their lifestyle

Nancy Cook

What better way is there for students to become a part of the process whereby the public lets their representatives know what is important to them?

Brandy Barr

YES BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT LEARNING ANYTHING USEFUL IN SCHOOLS ANYMORE!!!

Jimmy Chapel

Only if they are willing to accept the consequences of skipping school (missed lessons, homework...)

Diane Springstead Cole

Be aware, be involved! These students are our future and have every right to protest when they see an issue that needs attention!

I'm all for freedom of speech but they should rally after school or on weekends.

If it means that much to them they ought to do it on their own time.

Docile Jim Brady

Re own time Correct

TresMap_USA

Absolutely not!! They must be in school to learn. Politics should be outside of school hours. Oregon already has a graduation, test score problem. Keep politics out of the schools. So sick of politics

Steven Huillet

Students need to be in school! If they want to make this earth better study hard get a great education and come up with solutions that will fix the problems. Protesting does not fix problems!!!

Docile Jim Brady

Their “job” is to attend scho and become informed. They can strike after scho hours.

These kids are being led by the nose by their teachers influence. Liberals teach climate change and socialism and not about American government anymore. No one should be influenced by others.

Tee Bennett

Instead of standing on a street corner wasting taxpayers money that is paid for kids to be in school how about actually doing something like volunteering with Forrest service and replant the Forrest

Ben Wiborg

Not sure what happened to learning, and I suppose they don’t have to make up the day lost.

david cheney

they were coached by liberal teachers, who should teach them about the fossil record and the fact the climate is constantly changing. could have done this during spring break.

Latterdaysaint

Do it on your own time, school is for learning

Kiefer Davis

Allowing your kids to skip school for something they have ZERO control over is another far left insanity.

Kevin Crabtree

If someone skipped work at my business to do something like this whether I agreed with there stance or not they would be fired. Do the Crime Do the Time

Heidi Owen

What a joke, they're kids, really stupid to evn ask.

JohnWayne Kenneth Pool

I just graduated two years ago and am definitely for environment protection, but time and place.

Ka San

I respect their activism, but there are plenty of other times to do it w/o skipping school.

Wanda Hancock

Because they totally do not know all the answers and they don't get taught enough in school without them leaving school to cause chaos.

sharder8

School is for learning, not for political protesting. There is plenty of time outside of school to protest.

Missi Baldwin

Stay in school, get an education and then make a change!!!!!

Of course, isn't locking up people who are criminals their jobs?

Thomas OSullivan

This is a matter of law and order. I have no problem with immigrants coming to this country LEGALLY. Immigrants built this country and are a valuable asset but there is a LEGAL process that must be followed. Biden, Majorkas were disasters when it came to illegal immigration.

Eric Smith

We might get a bit closer to having fair elections without those voting who aren't even citizens.

Fred

Yes, that would be a problem that needs to be addressed ... if it actually existed.

Toasty

Immigration laws exist for a reason. I can agree our current immigration process is too complicated, expensive, and ripe with corruption. The solution is to change the process, not allow people to stay here illegally.

Jim Rosenberg

Illegal is Illegal, no matter the situation. Law enforcement is there for a reason, to enforce the laws. If I was in another country illegally, then law enforcement in that country would do the same thing, but probably jail time first. Without laws and law enforcement there would be anarchy.

Just like a Macy's sale, "they all must go!"

This is not a matter of legality. "IlLeGaL" immigration is a misdemeanor, like jaywalking or speeding. That people are being apprehended at immigration court dates, schools, and churches shows that these people are not dangerous nor violent. And finally, detention without due process is kidnapping.

Jeffery Schuyler

This is not only anti-american, but it is cruel, inhumane and counterproductive. Trump has managed to convince half our Country that 65 million immigrants are both an imminent threat and less than human. Worse, most of the people believing these lies are Christians.

Bobbi Meyer

Immigrants aren't the problem, politicians are

Leslie

They should focus on protecting the community from the reported crimes and not engaging in the current racial profiling that immigration authorities have been doing.

Paula Stanley

Police resources should not be used for ICE operations. Congress just voted for an unbelievably huge budget for their police state. Don’t use local community resources!

Sara Kalinowski

This is a hard question. ICE isn't explaining anything or identifying themselves. PO's might follow protocol,better. However, they shouldn't have to be involved.To be fair though, I think we spend too much unnecessary time on immigration & nothing else that truly matters.
