Larkspur High School Kids Walk Out in Protest of Trump

LARKSPUR, CA -- Students at two Marin County high schools left school Monday for protests against the election of Donald Trump as president.

One hundred students, some with signs, left Redwood High School in Larkspur at 1:30 p.m. and walked down Doherty Drive to Magnolia Avenue and Larkspur City Hall, Central Marin Police Authority spokeswoman Margo Rohrbacher said.

The students paused before walking back to the school on the sidewalk and obeyed all traffic signals, Rohrbacher said.

A similar number of students from Sir Francis Drake High School in San Anselmo walked on Sir Francis Drake Boulevard to Saunders Avenue and stopped and lined the sidewalks, Rohrbacher said.

Some students had signs and occasionally chanted 'Love Trumps Hate.' The students dispersed in time for the school's 3:20 p.m. dismissal, Rohrbacher said.

Police said both demonstrations were peaceful and the teens safely exercised their constitutional right to protest.
