Especially the ones with news choppers, who love the chance to use them for dynamic news reporting.

By Erin Duffy

Omaha North High School students became the latest to stage a school walkout in the wake of last week’s election.

Omaha Public Schools spokeswoman Monique Farmer said about 200 students left the school, located near 36th Street and Ames Avenue, around 9:15 a.m. Wednesday. 911 dispatchers said they headed out to Ames Avenue.

Farmer said students had some signs protesting against President-elect Donald Trump, while student organizers called it a rally for unity. Farmer said most students headed back inside shortly after leaving the school.

Video showed that a smaller number of students lingered outside on the sidewalk near 36th and Ames throughout the morning, chanting slogans such as, “We have rights, too!”

Principal Gene Haynes was a coach & teacher at Tech when I was in high school. Marta, our kids, and I love him.
