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.
