Lathrop High student walkout attracts 30

32

Fewer than 30 students of the 900 enrolled at Lathrop High School in Fairbanks took part in the walkout on Wednesday that protested the election of Donald Trump as president.

Students carried signs, one of which read, ironically, “Abortions save lives,” and others that referred to the dangers of climate change, the importance of LGBTQ+ sexual orientation, and other key Democrat issues.

The protest was supported by the Native-oriented Sunrise Movement and the Alaska Youth for Environmental Action, a program of the Alaska Center (for the Environment), which is underwritten by dark money from Outside the state.

Meanwhile, while there was little interest in the walkout, someone painted “MAGA” on a rock known as Spirit Rock near the entrance of the school.

  1. “Abortions save lives,”

    Umm, well, yeah, we’ll just ignore that an abortion is actually the ending of a life….

    • The timeline does not favor them.

      The price for being in a death cult that does not favor family formation, marriage or child rearing that creates thriving children that become confident and productive adults.

    • This. At the last high school walkout in my liberal SE city (protesting Dunleavy’s education funds veto), most students attended because it was scheduled immediately before lunchtime…the majority stayed for 10 minutes then got a bonus, extra-long lunch! Reported by my daughter, who attends the school.

  2. They can keep right on walking. The moves they make today could very adversely affect their entire future. I would not hire any of them. Not a fan of Marxist living. Awesome on the 830 that kept on with their education.

  3. So when are the people who organized this event going to be charged with participating in the truancy of minors?

  4. LOL. Junior Hopkins probably showed up with Bobbie Burgess in tow and the smarter students purposely stayed clear. Even the young adults at Lathrop get it. The quacks in local government are to be avoided, and sometimes even reported to the authorities.

  5. I hope the 2025 Alaska state legislature does not pass an LGBT anti-discrimination bill. In the 2023-24 legislature, there was an LGBT anti-discrimination bill called HB-99, that did not pass, but which was supported by Rep. Maxine Dibert, Rep. Ashley Carrick, and Sen. Scott Kawasaki.
    In my opinion, all anti-discrimination laws directed at the private sector, are wrong, because they take away some basic human freedom (the freedom to choose what we want.)
    .
    A person being against HB-99 does not mean they are against gay people.
    2 of my favorite actors are gay (Jim Nabors and Jack Larson).
    As far as the Lathrop students protesting, it would have been better if they had protested after school, rather than missing valuable class time. I hope all students study the U.S. Constitution and the importance of limiting government power and oppressive regulations, so as to preserve our precious liberty.

  6. It is good for these things to happen. The toxic members of society show themselves in the spotlight of public awareness, revealing social behaviors cause and effects. We observe the results of and determine if they are healthy to carry forward or to leave behind as detrimental.

    Looks like the people as a whole are rejecting the childish petulance and moving forward with maturity.

    Back to sleep with the WOKE and eyes opening with a true Great Awakening.

    You love to see it.

  7. Stupid. I’d say that America has a sad future ahead of it, but this is only 30 privileged little shits who don’t know a damn thing. Luckily, election night proved there is actually hope for America as we saw liberal lunacy and their mascot kamala crushed at the polls. God bless America.

  8. The article highlights a recent student walkout at Lathrop High School, where 30 students participated to address their concerns on a specific issue. While the turnout was modest, the demonstration reflects student engagement and activism within the school community. It’s a reminder of the importance of listening to youth voices in fostering a collaborative environment.
