Sigh. Let's not invent things? You can protest anything in the US just fine, with generally no consequences. Heck, our local _high_ _school_ students go out and protest everything to weasel out of classes.

Trump admin did put people in prison and then deported them, for doing nothing more than protesting.

Not as bad as China sure, but not as good as other civilized nations.

		Let's just clarify that visitors don't have the same rights as citizens. Whether or not you agree with the current administration's policies hopefully we can agree that it is entirely reasonable for them to deport foreign political dissidents more or less at their discretion. If you want to put this to the test try crossing the Canadian border and when they ask you the purpose of your visit respond that it's to attend a protest.

		Oh, I fully support their right to protest. It just looks a bit ridiculous when students walk out in protest against things that are far outside the influence of their school, city, or even state.
