San Anselmo High School Kids Walk Out in Protest of Trump

SAN ANSELMO, CA -- Students at two Marin County high schools left school Monday for a protest against the election of Donald Trump as president.

An estimated 100 students, some with signs, left Sir Francis Drake High School in San Anselmo around 1:30 p.m. and walked along Sir Francis Drake Boulevard to Saunders Avenue and stopped and lined the sidewalks, Central Marin Police Authority spokeswoman Margo 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.

A similar number of students from Redwood High School in Larkspur left at 1:30 p.m. and walked down Doherty Drive to Magnolia Avenue and Larkspur City Hall, Rohrbacher said.

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

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