WESTWOOD HEIGHTS - An unknown number of students have been suspended by the Westwood Heights School District following a student protest at the high school last week.

Parent Kelly McWhirter said her daughter, a ninth-grader, was among the students suspended. McWhirter said her daughter was originally told she was suspended for picketing, but the letter on her three-day suspension does not give a reason.

"I think it's wrong," McWhirter said of the suspension. "A child shouldn't be punished for speaking up in what they believe in."

The students walked out of class Thursday, upset over the resignation of a popular teacher. <snip>
