When you have to use the original meme to get a point across
Walk out. There is no such thing as a permanent record, but there is such a thing as ‘the entire administration gets sued and fired’.
I want to add again that schools are allowed to punish you for missing class to protest, but it has to be the standard punishment for missing class (as though you were missing for any other reason). If they would not normally suspend you for 3 days for missing class, then they cannot do it for this. It is a violation of your first amendment rights to punish you more harshly for protesting than for any other reason for an absence from class. [source - ACLU]
If your school is threatening you with a punishment that is beyond what would normally be given for an unexcused class absence, you should contact your local ACLU chapter. You should be able to find the standard disciplinary actions for excused and unexcused absences in your student handbook; if the punishment for protesting is different from the punishment listed in the handbook, then you need to contact that ACLU.

Hi everyone. This is my good friend Chiyoko. I love her very much.
Before I met her she was the victim of human trafficking. The events of which have left her with numerous physical and emotional injuries. She was unable to talk about what happened to her for a long time but she’s now opening up and started this donation page to help her pay for the surgeries she needs to correct her eyesight and teeth.
It would mean a ton to me if you were able to share or donate! I’m working on a sticker to contribute to her campaign (*not the art pictured above)
I’m so happy with the generous amount people have given so far!! People can be so amazing! But there’s still a little ways left to go.. let’s help Chiyoko!! ♥
