%X The school shooting in Parkland, Fla., in February 2018 led many students to engage in walkouts and other protests during the school day. Some schools supported their actions, while others disciplined students who participated. Alan Singer considers these schoolsĄŻ responses and explains that the social studies standards in many states encourage student activism and other forms of civic participation. He provides suggestions for how schools might respond to controversies that arise when students take political action at school
