KALAMAZOO, MI (WKZO AM/FM) — Around 300 Kalamazoo Central High School students walked out of class on Tuesday, June 7, to exercise their right protest.
The students left the building and went outside near the end of the day around 1:45 p.m. to protest the possible overturning of Roe Vs Wade, a 1973 landmark decision of the U.S Supreme Court in which the Court ruled that the U.S. Constitution protects a pregnant woman’s liberty to choose to have an abortion without excessive government restriction.
Kalamazoo Central High School Principle Valerie Boggan spoke with WKZO News and said that the school, with around 1,700 students in attendance, encourages them to exercise their right to protest as long as they do it peacefully.
Boggan went onto say that even though Tuesday’s student protest of the possible overturning of Roe Vs. Wade was not school approved, it was thoughtfully planned, and executed peacefully with no disturbance to other classes still in session.
As a result, none of the protesters will face disciplinary action.
