Via St. Louis Today:
Less than a mile from where a St. Louis County grand jury decided not to charge Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson, Clayton High School students walked out of class Monday.
They wanted to make a statement, have a voice, join in on a movement across the country referred to as “Hands up walkout,” the latest protests after the death of Michael Brown, an 18-year-old black man.
In Clayton, they were doing so at one of the wealthiest school districts in the region, one where the majority of students are white.
Leaving English, French, gym and other classes, organizers Luke Davis, Katherine Warnusz-Steckel and Zachary Bayly knew they had about 40 students who said they would join them. The plans circulated on social media during the weekend. But even as they worked to fight against problems of segregation and racism, they realized the students they were planning with – their friends on Facebook, for example – mostly looked like them. They worried that they wouldn’t get a large turnout of students of color, Warnusz-Steckel said.
But within minutes, as students made their way from classrooms outside to the school’s quad, the group had nearly doubled in size. It was a diverse crowd, with white students, black students, Asian students and others participating, marching in a circle outside shouting “What do we want? Justice!” They carried signs, with messages like “Wake up white America.”
“Just because we are, you know, wealthy and predominately white doesn’t mean that we’re not aware,” Warnusz-Steckel said. “We are a part of this issue and we can’t ignore it anymore. Our school is just as segregated as any other. We’re segregated at lunch. We’re segregated in class. We’re not as forward thinking as we would like to imagine.”
