Students in Boston, Chicago, and more are protesting COVID-19 in-person learning conditions in schools.
Students are walking out of their classes in Boston, Chicago and other cities across the country in protest of in-person learning conditions as COVID-19 rages on.
Public school students in Boston are demanding that local leaders take more initiative in reducing the spread of COVID-19 in schools and implement a two-week period for remote learning.
"We will then stand there for exactly 10 minutes, one minute for every hundred thousand new COVID-19 cases found on the 2nd of January," according to a post from the student-run Massachusetts COVID Walkout Instagram page.
In a statement to ABC News, Boston Public Schools said it "believes deeply in students advocating for what they believe in."
