Finally, some sanity in our schools. A Virginia high school principal has suspended over 300 students who abandoned their classrooms to stage an anti-ICE protest, and patriots across America are celebrating this rare display of actual leadership in education.

Students at Woodbridge High School marched off campus February 13th in what they called "solidarity" with nationwide protests against President Trump's Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations. But Principal Heather Abney wasn't having any of this leftist grandstanding on her watch.

The swift disciplinary action has triggered an avalanche of support from Americans who are fed up with schools being hijacked by political activism instead of focusing on education.

"Good. They're there to learn, not protest ICE doing their jobs,"

one supporter commented, perfectly capturing the sentiment of millions of parents.

This comes as the Trump administration ramps up deportation operations targeting illegal immigrants - exactly what the American people voted for in 2024. Yet radical leftists, including impressionable students fed a steady diet of anti-American propaganda, think they can disrupt law and order with impunity.

Not at Woodbridge High School.

FINALLY: School Puts Education Over Indoctrination

For too long, we've watched our educational institutions become breeding grounds for woke activism while test scores plummet and students graduate unable to read or do basic math. Schools have prioritized teaching kids to hate America over teaching them actual skills.

Principal Abney's decisive action sends a crystal clear message: the classroom is for learning, not for left-wing political theater. These students want to play activist? Fine - but there are consequences for abandoning your education to protest the lawful enforcement of immigration laws.

The timing couldn't be more perfect. As President Trump delivers on his promise to secure our border and remove those who entered illegally, the radical left is mobilizing every tool at their disposal - including manipulating children - to resist the will of the American people.

But patriots like Principal Abney are standing firm. She's showing what real leadership looks like when adults finally decide to act like adults instead of coddling teenage tantrums disguised as "activism."

How many more school administrators will follow her lead and put education back where it belongs - ahead of political indoctrination?

I'm curious - were the students given any warning beforehand that walkouts would result in suspension? Either way, they made their choice.

Good for this school! Students should be in class learning about civics and proper channels for political engagement, not disrupting education with walkouts.

FINALLY! School administrators with a backbone! These kids need to learn that actions have consequences and school is for learning, not political activism.

Exactly right. I've been teaching for 15 years and the lack of discipline has gotten out of hand.

This is what happens when adults actually act like adults instead of enabling disruptive behavior. Hopefully other schools will follow this example.

We need more of this nationwide. Schools have become way too permissive.

My kids go to school in the next county over and we had similar issues last year. I wish our administration had been this decisive instead of just letting it slide.

You should bring this article to your next school board meeting as an example!

About time schools remembered they're supposed to educate students, not indoctrinate them into left-wing activism. These administrators deserve praise for standing firm.

This gives me hope that there are still some sane adults left in our education system who will enforce rules equally.
