Students in Portland, Oregon public schools ditched class on Wednesday to protest in front of City Hall against a plan to increase patrols of armed school resource officers in buildings.
The activist group “Don’t Shoot Portland†posted a video of students urging the Portland City Council to nix a plan approved by the school board to increase patrols to five days a week from the current four-day schedule, KTVL reports.
Students with the group followed up by walking out of class around 9 a.m. to grandstand against the decision, which still needs approval from the city.
