Across Maryland and across the country, high school students are organizing walkouts to protest ICE. School administrators are responding, parents are asking questions, and social media is applauding the demonstrations.

On this episode of The Jimmy Mathis Show, Jimmy Mathis breaks down the legal, constitutional, and historical reality behind student protests—and why civil disobedience is widely misunderstood.

This episode is not about silencing students. It’s about education, accountability, and telling the full story.

Why students do not have a constitutional right to walk off school property

The difference between protest and civil disobedience

Why civil disobedience historically included consequences

What the Civil Rights Movement actually achieved—and how

The role of ICE and why understanding it matters before protesting

Legal vs. illegal immigration: why the distinction matters

Federal vs. state authority and the role of the Constitution

Why schools should use protests as real civics lessons

The responsibility schools have to protect students during school hours

Civil disobedience is meant to force attention—but it also comes with consequences

Protest without education leads to misinformation

Legislative change—not slogans—creates lasting impact

Schools should teach the entire constitutional process, not just the protest narrative

“The Constitution is not a blank check to break rules.”
“Civil disobedience only works when people understand what comes next.”
“If students want to protest, we owe them real education—not applause.”
