A pro-Palestinian high school walkout was canceled after local Democratic officials penned a scathing letter to the superintendent calling on the school to protect Jewish students from the intentionally “hostile and isolating environment” created by similar events.
The “school approved walkout” at Eastern Regional High School was slated for Friday, the fifth day of Passover, and will be replaced with a “rally for peace” on May 20. Militant anti-Israel protests have engulfed schools around the country over the last week, resulting in many arrests.
