More than 800 Los Angeles Unified students walked out of their high schools Wednesday as part of a nationwide protest against the administration.
Adults accompanied groups of students "in all cases" as they left from 10 high schools -- Los Angeles High, Van Nuys High, Downtown Business Magnet, Francisco Bravo Medical Magnet, Marshall High, Hamilton High, Fairfax High, Orthopaedic Hospital Medical Magnet, Lincoln High and Belmont High, said Dan Isaacs, the district's chief operating officer.
"Our issue... was safety, and I think we fulfilled our mission, frankly," Isaacs said.
The groups varied in size from 10 to 250, he said. The district sent staff, school police and youth relations personnel to walk with the teenagers and made buses available to take the students back to school when they got tired.

And they sure as hell wouldn't have done it should it have been an anti-Barbara Boxer rally.
x2, that makes it looks like the school district/board is against the present administration also.

I'm not sure about the law, however I think that if anything happened to one of the kids, even though they walked out the school would still have been held liable. The parents got their kids on the bus/dropped them off at school thinking that they would be safe and in school all day, however that was not the case.

Not sure about L.A., but here a school can not be held responsible if a kid decides to leave campus without permission. Stuff happens like that all the time when kids cut school and get in a car accident. The school is not responsible.

Um, because they aren't against Boxer? Why would you facilitate protesting against someone you support?
My point did a fly by over your dome.
Had there been an anti-something against someone who leans left, the kids would have been suspended and no buses or chaperone's would have been provided.
