I think this belongs in GenPol? Anyway, the world is upside-down:

The school district tries to spin it as fake news:

So, two thoughts:
1) Why would a student who refused to participate in a student walkout be alone in the classroom? Where the hell was the teacher? Clearly, the teachers walked out with the students, which leads me to:
2) Perhaps, instead of having a policy about students being unattended in the building, the school should have a policy that teachers are to stay in their classrooms and teach, instead of participating in unsanctioned acts of mass, civil disobedience.

A high school student in Hilliard, Ohio, didn’t want to pick sides in the contentious gun debate surrounding Wednesday’s “National Walkout,” so he stayed in class instead of joining the largely anti-gun protest or an alternative “study hall.”
Hilliard Davidson High School senior Jacob Shoemaker was then reportedly slapped with a suspension.

Hilliard City Schools said a post claiming a student was suspended for not participating in National Walkout Day is false.
...Stacie Raterman, Director of Communications, said the information in the post is false and no students were suspended for participating or not participating in the walkout.
...During the time of the walkout, students were given two choices by the school. They could participate in the walkout or go to the commons area of the school.
Raterman said their policy is they cannot leave students unattended in the building for security reasons.
She said students who went to the commons area could use it as a study hall.
