A Pennsylvania high school principal is being hailed as a hero by parents nationwide after delivering a brutal reality check to dozens of students who walked out of class to protest President Trump's immigration enforcement policies.

Daniel Weber, principal of Wilson High School in Spring Township, confronted the protesting students in a tense exchange Thursday that was captured on video and quickly went viral. The footage shows Weber telling the group of anti-ICE demonstrators that while they have the right to express their views, they don't have the right to disrupt the education of other students.

"You can protest all you want, but you're not going to do it on school time," Weber told the students in the now-viral clip. "You want to make a political statement? Do it on your own time, not when you're supposed to be learning."

The walkout was organized by leftist student activists opposed to the Trump administration's mass deportation efforts, which have been highly successful in removing criminal illegal aliens from American communities. But Weber wasn't having any of their virtue signaling on his watch.

"This is exactly the kind of leadership we need in our schools," said one parent who praised Weber's actions. "These kids are being manipulated by radical teachers and activists, and it's refreshing to see a principal who actually prioritizes education over political theater."

The incident highlights the growing tension in American schools as Trump's second-term agenda continues to trigger meltdowns from the radical left. While Democrats and their allies in the education establishment have turned many classrooms into indoctrination centers, patriots like Weber are fighting back.

Weber's firm stance comes as the Trump-Vance administration's deportation operations are ramping up nationwide, with ICE successfully removing thousands of criminal aliens who were allowed to flood our communities during the disastrous Biden regime.

The viral video has sparked a national conversation about whether schools should allow political protests during class time. For parents who are sick of seeing their tax dollars fund political activism instead of actual education, Weber's message is crystal clear: not on his watch.

Will more principals follow Weber's example and put education before political theater? American parents are certainly hoping so.

FINALLY! A principal with backbone who understands their job is to educate kids, not let them run wild with political protests during school hours.

My tax dollars pay for these kids to get an education, not to skip class for political theater. Kudos to this principal for doing the right thing!

What exactly did the principal say to them? The article mentions a 'reality check' but I'd love to know the specific points made.

These kids have no idea what they're protesting about. ICE exists to enforce laws that Congress passed - maybe they should learn how our government actually works before staging walkouts.
