Wire Report



DALLAS - Thousands of high school students left class around Dallas and Houston on Monday to rally for immigrant rights.

The Dallas district hasn't decided about disciplinary action for the 2,500 to 3,500 students who participated, a spokesman said.

About 50 from the Dallas-area Duncanville district who participated will not face disciplinary action, a spokeswoman said.

Students from two Houston-area high schools walked out in protest. The protest was peaceful, but the students will face discipline, a spokesman for the Aldine Independent School District said.

At a high school in the suburban Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District, 200 to 300 students walked out but soon returned and will not be disciplined, a spokeswoman said.
