Students Strike HS Skateboarding Ban

by The Editors on March 5, 2009

When the administration of Las Cruces, New Mexico’s Mayfield High School decided to ban skateboarding at the high school after a ninth-grade student injured after being hit in the face with a skateboard, the students decided to stage a protest.

Nearly 30 students joined at Mayfield’s “Skateboarding Circle” in front of the school this morning in protest and several had their boards confiscated as a result. . . Two hours later, students and administrators agreed to discuss in April a cooperative way to lift the ban, and protesters — partially satisfied — returned to their classes.

Way to stick it to the man.
