More than 100 students at Jones College Prep took part in a sit-in protest on Monday, demanding their principal be fired in response to a video showing a student goose stepping in a German military uniform on Halloween.
on Friday, Chicago Public School CEO Pedro Martinez confirmed the school's principal is on leave pending a district investigation.
Protest organizers say the principal and other school leaders should have taken action immediately when students complained about the Halloween costume. These young activists hope their message is clear. They want new leadership and a change in school policy.
