Mustang Schools suspended 122 students for unexcused absences during an unauthorized protest, citing attendance policies, not protest content.

Mustang Public Schools suspended 122 students for participating in an unauthorized Feb. 5 walkout protesting ICE, citing unexcused absences as the reason, not the protest's content. The district said the walkout was not school-sponsored, denied staff involvement, and emphasized student safety and attendance policies. Oklahoma officials, including Governor Kevin Stitt, supported the district’s actions, while investigations continue into alleged pepper spray incidents linked to the protest.
