PORTLAND, Ore. โ Hundreds of students walked out of a suburban Portland high school to protest an offensive banner that briefly appeared in the cafeteria.
The sign that read "build a wall" was put up Wednesday at Forest Grove High School and then quickly removed by officials. It's a reference to Donald Trump's plan for a wall at the U.S.-Mexico border.
The Forest Grove district has the highest percentage of Latino students in the Portland metro area, and officials said the students responsible for the banner were disciplined.
The students who protested left class Thursday morning and marched through Main Street before eventually returning to school. Some students from other Oregon high schools also protested.
