The incident, captured in a viral TikTok video reposted on X, shows the upset dad confronting school staff while signing his child out.

“You have, like, a thousand kids on the overpass, one just about got hit by a car,” the parent tells school staff.

The father continued, “Kids shouldn’t be involved in that sh-t. This is for learning. I have to leave work because while I’m working, I have to worry about what you’re manipulating my kids into listening to. It’s bullsh-t.”

An upset Florida father says he had to leave work in the middle of the day to pull his kid out of school after students launched an anti-ICE protest.

I received word of another walkout in protest of ICE, this time at Lake Region High School near Winter Haven. I covered a protest last week by Kathleen High students.pic.twitter.com/BpoEHgcq7A
