WATCH: Horrifying Footage Shows North Carolina High School Students Bolt Out of Class and Run Across Busy 4-Lane Highway to Protest ICE – No Teachers in Site
Shocking video from the AC Reynolds High School in Asheville, North Carolina, shows more than 200 students running across a busy 4-lane highway to protest ICE.
The “ICE Out” protest took place on Wednesday.
The students carried anti-ICE signs as they bolted out of class and ran across the busy street.
WLOS reported:
More students in western North Carolina (WNC) held a walkout Wednesday, Feb. 18, gathering for a peaceful protest against ICE and recent immigration enforcement by the Trump administration.
About 200 students at A.C. Reynolds High School walked out at 11 a.m., carrying signs and chanting.
“We don’t just represent the students that are here. We represent every student that can’t come because they’re scared or something else,” said Tommy Philyaw, a senior at A.C. Reynolds High. “Whatever they couldn’t come here for, we represent them.”
Also on Wednesday, students from Nesbitt Discovery Academy organized a protest at the school and in downtown Asheville, which had several dozen attendees.
In a statement to WLOS, Buncombe County Schools praised the students for running onto a busy highway:
“This activity was not organized by the school, but we respect the right of students to peacefully and respectfully express their views. We continued our normal school operation and schedule during this time, including maintaining our attendance policies for students who were not in class.
We are appreciative of our school resource officers and law enforcement partners who helped keep our students safe.”
The horrifying video shows the students running across the street without a teacher in site.
