Groups of high school students in Fairfield County walked out of class to protest recent racial incidents that came to a head following a racist social media post earlier this month.
On Monday, May 24, students at Fairfield Warde High School orchestrated a mass walkout of hundreds of students that were also in collaboration with students across town at Ludlowe High School.
In total, upwards of 600 students reportedly walked out in Fairfield on Monday, which lasted a few hours, featuring speeches and some of the teens sharing their own experiences with race in the area.
