Proud to join #WalkOut2Learn in opposition to the FL GOP’s dangerous policies moving through the legislature. As the state Legislature attempts to roll back the rights and civil liberties of our young people, we will fight back!
Banning books, forcing LGBTQIA+ children into hiding, and denying Black history are not the solutions our students and educators need!
Shoutout to the courageous students who walked out all across #Florida! We stand with you 👏🏽
#Walkout2Learn@walkout2learn
Thousands of students across Florida telling DeSantis and his enablers in office they don't want to be #1 in the nation for banned books; anti-LGBTQ policies; gun violence; and anti-freedom to learn policies. Follow #Walkout2Learn
PROUD to have joined the Eckerd College @walkout2learn today! We won’t back down and will continue to shake the table to win our rights back✊

Hundreds of Florida students will skip class today, opting for a banned history lesson. It's part of @walkout2learn, a protest in defiance of FL's crackdown on lessons about race + anti-LGBTQ laws impacting youth. I spoke with organizers & participants:https://t.co/BLNflKTPDH
"It’s a short- and long-term strategy that allows survival and then, hopefully, a chance at reclaiming our state," @walkout2learn's 19-year-old founder and executive director, @zandermoricz, said about the multi-pronged day of action in Florida.
Beyond the walkouts, students will check their voter registration and hear a five-minute banned history lesson from a student peer. They'll also have the opportunity to sign up for a virtual introductory-level African American studies course, @walkout2learn told me.
Florida high school + college students: @walkoutolearn is organizing walkouts + rallies at campuses across FL to tell state leaders that they can't erase Black, queer, & trans history on Friday, April 21st.
This is the beginning of a movement. Join us: https://t.co/ZAVEka124g
