Virginia School District To Allow Students To Skip School To Protest. So now  one of the largest school districts in the United States has said it will allow students to skip school once per year to participate in civic activities such as protest. Being that it is Virginia wouldn't it be awesome if students took one day off to protest in favor of the 2nd amendment.  That would be hilarious.  https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2019/12/virginia-school-district-to-allow-students-to-skip-school-to-protest/
