A planned student-led anti-ICE walkout at Franklin High School has divided the community after parents received an email notification about the demonstration scheduled for Wednesday.
The school’s advance notice to parents has generated more than 200 online comments, with residents expressing sharply different views about students leaving class for the protest.
“If you’re at work and you walk out, you’re not getting paid. And if you’re at school and you walk out, you aren’t learning like you’re supposed to,” said Jay Missiaen, a Franklin resident.
