About 100 Stephenville High School students sat silent in class Wednesday — not responding to their teachers, not taking notes — in protest of a classmate accused of sexual assault being allowed to return to school. Protest organizer Faith Young says other arrangements should have been made to safeguard his accusers at Stephenville High School. A group of silent protesters wore buttons and safety pins on Wednesday at Stephenville High, after a male student was accused with sexual assault earlier this month. We're just trying to make sure that the school board, like, understands that things need to be changed," he said. Protest co-organizer Cameron Caines he thinks the students' silent protest got their message across.
