Walkout 2 Learn: Florida Students Walk Out of School to Protest DeSantis Education Policies

From TeenVogue.com April 20, 2023:

“Florida students are taking their education into their own hands…

In lieu of taking a quintessential college spring-break trip, a group of youth organizers with Walkout 2 Learn went to Sarasota, Florida, for a weeklong brain dump before the group’s upcoming day of action. From morning to night, the 12 youth activists sorted through data from Florida high schools, Instagram pages, and other social media accounts hoping to identify young Floridians eager to help their cause: a youth-led demonstration on Friday, April 21, to call out state lawmakers for their attacks on student rights.

Florida’s Republican-led state legislature and governor have passed multiple pieces of legislation that censor conversations in the classroom about gender, sexuality, and race, stripping rights from the very students the state’s schools are meant to serve.”

Below is a short clip of FAU students protesting legislation that will impact them (April 19, 2023):
