- Share via
Antelope Valley high school students, who boycotted classes and attacked a sheriff’s patrol car Thursday to protest an anti-gang dress code, staged another class walkout Friday and said they were organizing a major protest before the school board next week.
About 60 students at Antelope Valley High School in Lancaster held a peaceful two-hour morning class boycott. School officials and sheriff’s deputies persuaded them to disperse, warning of suspensions and arrests if they refused.
Meanwhile, at Quartz Hill High School, where a student was arrested Thursday for threatening a teacher when his cap was confiscated, at least six students were suspended Friday for attempting to organize a boycott, school officials said.
