Hundreds of students at several Houston-area districts walked out of class Friday afternoon to protest the federal immigration crackdown, defying Gov. Greg Abbott's threat to punish students, their teachers and schools for disrupting the school day with political activism.
Schools with demonstrations included Houston ISD's Bellaire High School; Humble ISD's Atascocita and Summer Creek high schools; Pasadena ISD's South Houston High School; Klein ISD's Klein and Klein Collins high schools; and four high schools in Conroe ISD.
