Then there is nothing to see since he was given the other option. If not, then it would be a totally different story. We all have to live with our decisions. I would support him if they did not give him the other option to avoid the walk out.

Is the purpose of going to school to be educated, or is it to take part in political activism that is approved by the administrators of the school?
Last time I checked, we don't live in North Korea. Teachers and schools are stepping outside of acceptable bounds by choosing to sanction political demonstrations like this. Schools should be politically neutral, they are there to educate not indoctrinate. By sanctioning a walk out, they are taking a political position and making a very bold statement that they consider their politics more important than education.

Before the camps, I regarded the existence of nationality as something that shouldn’t be noticed - nationality did not really exist, only humanity. But in the camps one learns: if you belong to a successful nation you are protected and you survive. If you are part of universal humanity - too bad for you -Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
I love that you can so blatantly lie about something, and then make a stink about it. It's adorable.

If you read any part of the article, instead of the false thread title, you'd know that you were wrong. Just in case you care about reality.
Well, yeah, that's defiance. The school organized an activity and he refused to do the activity. He also refused to do a separate activity provided for him.
School is both for education and to prepare us to become adults. I see protesting as a civic duty that is a sign of becoming an adult.
Also, by forbidding protesting, they are also taking a political side. This is the best a school can do: allow those who want to protest to protest, but have a place for the students that disapprove.

The irony of him getting death threats for not protesting against gun violence... the ridiculous hypocrisy of morons, honestly.
Pretty much this, using only the click bait title of the thread it sounds like a terrible thing happened, but looking any deeper its an issue with the student being a little shit and not listening to directions.
Given who the OP is, I am not surprised he warped the story how he did.
