The students said not enough is being done to keep them safe on campus.
SANTA ROSA, Calif. - Students from a high school walked out of class Monday, demanding more safety measures after two classmates were stabbed.There was anger as students tried to process how two fellow classmates could have been stabbed at Montgomery High School.
During the assembly on campus, students said the suspect had been involved in other fights before at the school.“It took a death to finally understand that our school is suffering and we are screaming for help. We need their help,” one student said Wednesday, witnesses told police Jayden Pienta and another student went inside an art classroom to confront the 15-year-old.Pienta was stabbed three times and died. The second student was taken to the hospital.“Jayden did not deserve to die, and the school, I blame the entire administration. I don’t care where you guys are. I blame all of you,” another student said.“Pretty much that they aren’t safe because so many things happen and it’s so unpredictable that you never know,” a student said.
“I just want to protect my daughter and my kids, make sure that they have a safe life because no kid should be dying before their parents,” a parent said. Jayden Pienta’s mom and stepfather were at the walkout wearing a sweatshirt with a picture of their son.The suspect was in court Monday, charged with one count of voluntary manslaughter and one count of bringing a knife onto school grounds. Both are felony charges.Copyright 2023 KGO via CNN Newsource. All rights reserved.
