As pro-Palestine protests on college campuses continue to sweep the nation, high school students have joined the movement to demand an end to US military aid to Israel and the ongoing war in Gaza. Amid finals, classes, and college decision celebrations, high schoolers have organized sit-ins and marches to nearby university campuses, echoing the frustrations of their college peers.
On Monday, May 6, students from various Massachusetts high schools blocked Massachusetts Avenue and circled MIT’s Gaza solidarity encampment, leading chants and keeping the space from state police interference.
As the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee’s encampment entered its fourth day on Thursday, May 2, roughly 75 students from nearby Shorewood High School journeyed from their classes to the college grounds, chanting with one another. That same day, dozens of students from various high schools marched at the state capitol, following walkouts at the end of April.
