Stoughton students walk out of class to protest Walker’s moves
About 100 Stoughton High School students walked out of class Monday morning in protest of Gov. Scott Walker’s proposal to limit the collective bargaining of public employees, including teachers.
The students walked across the street to the parking lot of Stoughton United Methodist Church, where they signed a petition. Several students gave speeches while standing in the bed of a pickup truck.
“Let’s show Gov. Walker that we care about learning and the teachers are worth every cent that we pay to them,” said Theron Luhn, a junior who helped organize the protest, which lasted about an hour.
The students then returned to the building.
Stoughton police observed the protest.
