Something's Wrong: Ohio Student Suspended for Staying in Class During National Walkout Day

Caleb Parke reports at Fox News:

An Ohio high school student said he tried to stay apolitical during the National Walkout Day over gun violence but was suspended for his choice to remain in a classroom instead of joining protests or the alternative, going to study hall.

Jacob Shoemaker, a senior at Hilliard Davidson High School, said he didn't want to take sides in the gun-control debate consuming the country. If he went outside for the walkout, he said, he would be supporting gun control. If he stayed in the common area of the school, he said, he would be seen as supporting gun violence and disrespecting the 17 lives lost in the Parkland, Fla. High school shooting the month before.

Jacob had met with the school's principal on Tuesday, a day before the rally, for about an hour to find out what exactly the walkout was supporting. But he said the principal reportedly told him it was for the "students to express themselves."

"This left Jacob wondering if it was a memorial for the lives lost or a show of support for gun control," Fox News continues.

The senior student "decided, instead, to stay in class for about 20 minutes doing homework after his teacher and fellow classmates left and locked the door," Fox reports. But "when they returned, he was slapped with a suspension."
