Defend the Princeton HS Walkout Students!
250 Princeton High School students are facing 2 days of detention after walking out of class and attending an hour long rally and speak-out protesting the five-year US occupation of Iraq on March 19th, 2008. Principal Gary Snyder had originally promised that the students would not receive detention, but reneged when it became clear that hundreds of student were planning on walking out. Four weeks earlier, the students were required to miss three periods of class while a New Orleans band played and Mardi Gras beads were thrown at them. What are the priorities of Princeton High School? We urge all student and community members to support students that have the courage to take a stand and educate themselves.
CALL and Email Princeton High School Administrators and demand that the students should be commended and not punished.

It's amazing what the students at this school have done. They should be honored, not punished.

I completely support this petition because I feel like I've gained knowledge from the walk-out experience that the school is unable to offer me.

I graduated from PHS in 2004 and was one of the organizers for the 1st ever Walk Out Against the Iraq War back in 2003 or 2004. Detentions were not issued then, and they should not be issued now.

It sounds to me like punishing students has taken precedent over supporting the actions of informed, active, productive citizens. That is absolutely wrong!

This just shows what's happening to America. People are losing their rights faster and faster. Freedom of speech should not be honored by oppression. Princeton, who should you support; the students who are the future or an imposing president? Choose wisel

Don't we want our young Americans to be politically involved and socially aware? Don't punish good citizenship!
