Schools have gotten in on the protests against ICE.
One high school learned a hard lesson about left-wing activism.
And a woke school watched this anti-ICE protest backfire in the worst way possible.
School officials turned blind eye while students made protest materials in class
Fremont High School in Nebraska just gave every parent the roadmap to a lawsuit.
A student walked out of class late last month to protest ICE and got hit by a red SUV while standing in traffic.
Her mother is furious — and she's got every right to be.
The girl suffered bumps and bruises after the vehicle struck her during the chaotic demonstration outside the school.
But here's what has parents across the country fuming: the daughter was allowed to make her protest poster in class.
In career class.
"My daughter was allowed to make her poster in class, in school, to career class," the mother told local station WOWT. "Where are the teachers and why weren't they paying more attention to what these kids were doing?"
The mother — whose name the station withheld — didn't mince words about the school's role in nearly getting her daughter killed.
"I feel the school is quite a bit at fault for this," she said.
Fremont joins nationwide pattern of schools enabling radical activism
This isn't some isolated incident.
Schools across the country are actively facilitating these anti-ICE walkouts by letting students skip class and even helping them prepare materials.
In Texas, Governor Greg Abbott ordered investigations after Austin ISD police vehicles were caught on video escorting protesting students through city streets during school hours.
"Schools and staff who allow this behavior should be treated as co-conspirators and should not be immune for criminal behavior," Abbott wrote. "I'm telling you, if there's any student that gets run over because of a protest that was allowed by the high school to take place, I fully expect the school district and the leaders to be held legally responsible for that."
In Asheville, North Carolina, videos showed students streaming out with professionally printed protest signs — the kind that don't get made in a high school art room.
Over 1,000 teachers in Colorado called out sick on the same day to join student protests, forcing multiple schools to close.
An Auburn, Washington mother went viral after confronting school staff and pulling her daughter out after witnessing the school-sanctioned chaos.
The Texas Education Agency issued guidance warning that teachers who facilitate walkouts could lose their teaching licenses and school districts could face state takeover.
California legal experts are even clearer: schools that help organize off-campus protests can be held liable for student injuries.
"By assisting in organizing walkouts and off-campus rallies, a court could deem the events to be district-sponsored and hold a district liable for any harm or injury," according to guidance from education law firm Fagen Friedman & Fulfrost.
Trump's ICE enforcement exposes schools' radical priorities
The Fremont mother raised another point administrators won't want to address: the kids have no idea what they're even protesting.
"I don't feel she's informed enough to have made a decision like the one that she made by doing a protest," she said. "I don't feel that any of the young people that were involved know enough about what's going on to do or set up a protest because I feel they don't know what they're protesting."
These coordinated nationwide demonstrations against President Trump's immigration enforcement aren't about student initiative.
They're about teachers unions and radical left-wing groups using children as political props.
The protests surged after two left-wing agitators were killed in separate incidents involving federal agents in Minneapolis — Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
But the demonstrations morphed into attacks on Trump's entire deportation agenda, with students marching to demand ICE be abolished.
Fremont Public Schools released a statement claiming the protest was "non-school-sanctioned" while also admitting staff were present "throughout the situation to help monitor student activity."
That's the same double-talk schools nationwide are using — claiming protests are student-led while teachers make materials in class and administrators provide police escorts.
Police cited six people connected to the Nebraska protest, including the driver who left the scene and the injured student herself.
Here's a suggestion for schools claiming they'll "review the event": stop letting teachers turn taxpayer-funded classrooms into protest planning workshops.
And maybe keep kids in school during school hours.
It's not a complicated concept — unless you're more interested in indoctrinating the next generation of radical activists than teaching them to read.
