Far-Left Activists Are Encouraging and Radicalizing K–12 Students In Nationwide Anti-ICE Walkouts

A growing number of K–12 students are taking part in walkouts and protests against federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations across the nation, raising questions about the activists radicalizing them.

The walkouts, which many school administrators say are a legitimate exercise of the students’ First Amendment rights, have seen increasing incidents of violence and lawlessness, ranging from beatings and scuffles to vandalism.

Similar protests and calls to “melt ICE” have popped up across the nation in communities, from Colorado to Texas to Virginia, where hundreds of students have been suspended for leaving campus during what school officials have called “student-led” walkouts.

The New York Post reports that it’s not just school officials who are facilitating these protests with far-left activists encouraging kids to skip class and “rebel against” ICE agents across major West Coast cities.

The activist group Dare To Struggle instructed students from six downtown Los Angeles area schools to meet at the “Federal Building by 2pm” to protest deportations.

Even in red states like Idaho, minors are being recruited by groups like the nonprofit Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL), which appears to be recruiting children for a Maoist-like revolution as hundreds of students are led away from school to protest ICE.

PSL has also been active at schools like AC Reynolds High School in Asheville, North Carolina, where school staff did nothing to stop some 200 students from bolting from their classrooms and running into the middle of a four-lane highway to wave flags and scream and curse at passing drivers.

The growing indoctrination and activism in K–12 schools is prompting parents to take a firm stand and to demand answers from school administrators, who are allowing the walkouts to take place as well as giving far-left activists access to their children.

The nonprofit Courage Is a Habit organization has provided concerned parents with 7 Questions for Schools Activating Your Children to give parents the leverage needed to pin down school administrators and to expose their double standards.

Parents are encouraged to demand written responses to questions regarding who is liable if a child is injured off campus during a school-sanctioned walkout, whether the same immunity and support is provided for students who support ICE, and whether the “community leaders” meeting kids at the protests have passed background checks.

Questions are also being raised over what protections exist for students who support ICE and are now facing a “hostile environment” created by the school.
