Students Protest In Frankfort
KENTUCKY...
More than 50 high school students angry over the firing of a popular social studies teacher protested on the steps of the state Capitol. Students from Western Hills High School said they headed to the Capitol after the doors of their school were locked Friday during their protest. Students told The State Journal of Frankfort that they hoped to bring change to the whole county by taking their protest to the Capitol. But administrators said the students would face disciplinary action, including possible suspension, because the protest meant they missed a school day.
Students were protesting the Thursday firing of teacher Aimee Graham, who was one of 56 to receive a pink slip across the district.
