Bartlesville Students Walkout in Protest Over Education Funding

KWON Radio-Bartlesville

Over 300 students gathered on the Bartlesville High School football field this morning. The students were there to protest state education budget cuts.

The students walked out of class for a 22-minute protest. That is one minute for each million cut from school budget this week by the Oklahoma legislature.

As the students walked on to the field from the school, they heard applause from parents and supporters, kept outside the gates,  watching.
