NEA Member at Skyline High School, Mesa, AZ
During lunch, students at Skyline High School walked out in protest against ICE. Carrying signs that read “Keep ICE Out” and “No One is Illegal,” the students gathered at a street corner before marching off campus.
The mood was electric. Cars honked in support. One student said, “We have to walk out. They can apparently just arrest anyone, and that’s crazy.” Meanwhile reports have already come in that other schools in Mesa have also had walkouts!
Students are fed up and showing that they will not only stand up for themselves but also for their fellow students, families, and neighbors. To quote the immortal words of The Who, “The kids are all right.”
