A school district in New Jersey plans to punish students who took part in the nationwide walkout against gun violence on Wednesday with two days of out-of-school suspension, according to reports.

Officials from the Sayreville Public School District sent out notices to local principals in the days leading up to the mass protest, claiming it put kids in danger and was a risk to school safety.

While the district’s code of conduct only calls for Saturday detention in cases where students leave campus “without authorization,” officials threatened to punish protesters with suspensions, according to MyCentralJersey.com.

Sayreville Board of Education president Kevin Ciak told the outlet that the act of walking out would be considered “willful disobedience” and a “failure to follow administrative direction.”

One teen — who attends Sayreville War Memorial High School and participated in National Walkout Day — said she and several others were told they’d be receiving two days of out-of-school suspension for taking part.

“I walked out with two of my other friends,” explained Sierra Thomas, a 16-year-old freshman who spoke to MyCentralJersey.com.

“We met up with about 10 more people,” she said.

Sophomore Rosa Rodriguez was also one of the handful of students who went outside to demonstrate — and at one point, appeared to be the only one.

“I don’t care if I get suspended,” Rodriguez told News 12.

At 10 a.m., when it came time to walk out of Sayreville High, local media reported that Rodriguez was the only student to exit. It wasn’t until hours later that word spread about the other participants.

Though the turnout was better than expected — in light of the district’s threats — Rodriguez told 1010 WINS she was disappointed in her classmates for not going outside to protest.

Some reportedly demonstrated inside the school’s auditorium, while others participated in different parts of campus.

“If you were gonna come outside in the first place, you should have still came outside,” Rodriguez said. “Just because you didn’t want to have these consequences and stuff, just stay inside, you should have came outside and proven them wrong.”

According to officials, about two dozen of the 1,800 students at Sayreville War Memorial High School took part in National Walkout Day, which was drummed up last month by teenage gun control activists following the Florida school massacre

“Some participated within the building, some left the building but remained on school property and a handful — two or three — actually left school property,” Ciak said. “We’ll be following our student code of conduct for those categories.”

Colleges across the country have come forward in recent weeks and said that students who get suspended for protesting would not have it held against them when applying for enrollment.

“Fundamental to our mission is our belief that students have the right to protest peacefully about issues of concern to them,” the Harvard College Board of Admissions wrote in a statement last month following the Parkland shooting.

“Students who are disciplined for engaging responsibly in exercising their rights and freedoms would not have their chances of admission compromised or their admissions revoked,” the school said.

Hannah Mendlowitz, Yale’s senior assistant director of admissions, added: “What high schoolers across the nation are doing right now is brave, it is good, it is larger than an absence from school or a blemish on an academic record or a college admissions decision … If you can’t march beside them, at least stand behind them. And at the very least, do not stand in their way.”
