The superintendent of a Houston-area school district threatened students with three-day suspensions if they participate in gun violence protests during school hours. Participants have focused their energy on demanding lawmakers take action against gun violence. But Curtis Rhodes, superintendent of Needville Independent School District, warned students that they would face “consequences” for participating in such demonstrations. !” Rhodes wrote in a statement posted Tuesday to Needville High School’s Facebook page. “We will discipline no matter if it is one, fifty, or five hundred students involved.”
