Students in at least twenty states staged walkouts on Friday, supporting teachers (and teachers’ unions) in Wisconsin and throughout the country. The actions garnered a lot of attention at the grass roots — my blogpost on the walkouts is already this site’s eleventh most-read of all time — but virtually none in the national media.
Local media outlets, however, have been covering the story, and though most of the walkouts didn’t get any ink, quite a few have. Here are reports from news outlets and local bloggers on some three dozen walkouts in ten states, with more to come
- New Hampshire high schooler suspended for ten-minute walkout. (Morehere.)
- Sixty walk out in Amherst, Massachusetts.
- One hundred and fifty walk out and rally in Portland, Oregon.
- Students from two local high schools join rally at University of Illinois.
- Wisconsin students walk out in
