Simon Kenton, Walnut Hills students walk out of classes to protest gun violence

Simon Kenton High School and Walnut Hills students staged walkouts Wednesday to stand in solidarity with the families of the 17 students killed in last week's school shooting in Parkland, Florida. "Never again! ...We want change! ... We are not a number!" about 200 of Simon Kenton's 1,700 students chanted as they marched through the parking lot and around the building. The students were supervised by school officials, who say they support the teenagers' First Amendment rights to protest, according to Kenton County Schools spokesperson Jess Dykes. They're not alone. Similar protest took place at the other high schools and middle schools in the Kenton County district. In Cincinnati, about 200 Walnut Hills students chanted "We are Walnut. We are change" and "No justice. No peace. No guns on our streets."   Students said they made a spontaneous decision at fourth bell to walk out. They marched around the school grounds and were back inside the building within a half hour having made their point.
