STUDENT WALKOUT - Students from multiple Salt Lake City high schools walked out of class Thursday in a demonstration to support abortion rights.
The walkouts happened at East, West and Highland high schools, as well as Skyline and Taylorsville high schools.
While the demonstrations were not school sponsored events, Chatwin explained school leaders do support First Amendment rights. Chatwin said these kinds of demonstrations are not"rare occurrences" at Salt Lake City high schools and she urges others to listen to voices of the rising generation. The demonstrations remained peaceful Thursday, as students made signs and gathered outside of the schools for roughly 15-20 minutes.
