Florida Student Hit by Car During Anti-ICE Walkout
A student suspected of participating in an anti-ICE protest in West Palm Beach, Florida, was struck by a car on Monday and suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
Police said officers responded to the incident around 12:30 a.m. near South Wind Plaza on North Military Trail, CBS 12 reported Monday.
The driver remained on scene and the youth was transported to a local hospital for treatment.
Video sequence showed Firefighters and police surrounded the student, who was lying on the ground as traffic passed. The minor was reportedly a student at Palm Beach Lakes Community High School:
“The juvenile being hit by a vehicle comes as hundreds of students from at least four Palm Beach County high schools took to the streets in a coordinated protest against ICE. The schools involved are believed to be Lake Worth Beach High School, John I. Leonard High School, Royal Palm Beach High School and Palm Beach Lakes High School,” the CBS article said.
One of the walkouts turned into a fight and police had to intervene, WPTV reported Monday:
Meanwhile, Breitbart News highlighted how teachers and school administrators across the country have been leading children to leave their campuses to participate in “often violent and dangerous left-wing protests” against ICE.
“Some parents, however, condemn schools for allowing children to leave school grounds and engage in dangerous activities,” the media outlet said.
Watch:
State leaders have begun blocking teachers and school administrators from encouraging such protests “amid increasing violence from emotional and ill-informed children,” Breitbart News’ Warner Todd Huston wrote Tuesday, noting that authorities in Texas and Florida were working on the issue.
Watch:
Indeed, “the investigation into anti-ICE student walkouts expanded Monday, with three additional Texas school districts added to a growing investigation examining whether officials coordinated or encouraged students to join the Jan. 30 protests,” the outlet’s Randy Clark reported Thursday.
