Students Walk Out After Diversity Day Canceled--Again! [View all]
Hundreds of students in Ohio stormed out of school Wednesday, protesting the white members of the school board choosing to cancel Diversity Day—for the second year in a row.
“Do better, Forest Hills!” students at Turpin High School chanted while holding “Pro-Diversity” signs and wearing matching T-shirts that read “Protect Diversity Day” during the walkout.
Diversity Day was supposed to have been held at Turpin High School in March, but was rescheduled to May and eventually canceled by the Forest Hills School Board for the remainder of the year. Anderson High School students, another member of the Forest Hills district, stood in solidarity with Turpin on Wednesday during the protest.
“It’s bigger than Black and White,” a Turpin High School football player wrote on Twitter. “DIVERSITY MATTERS.”
“Showing support for all the incredible student leaders who exercised their right to protest the twice cancelled diversity day [at] Turpin High School,” a Turpin High School parent wrote. “[Forest Hills School District], you can do better.”
