A high school student in Ohio was suspended for refusing to leave the classroom during the National Walkout on Wednesday, March 14.

The walkout involved students across the nation leaving class to advocate for gun control legislation, coming exactly one month after a shooter gunned down 17 people at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida.
