Proud of these kids for their accomplishments! I do hope our MHHS Students were some of the 100 students that walked out of this:

Great job, journalism students!

Regarding walking out...

Because that's exactly what journalism students should do: walk out/ignore/talk over when they hear things they don't like or agree with. Maybe by staying a student could then write an editorial piece expressing their opinion and only by staying could a student report objectively on the incident.

Oh by all means, write an article stating the reason for walking out or write an article about the anti-bully speaker being a bully. Principles don't have to be compromised in order to write an article. It would be a great article as to why this person, Savage, was chosen to speak to high school students with the language he was using.
