A group of Pennsbury High School students walked out on Thursday to protest after troubling lawsuits against the district came to light this week.
At 7:20 a.m., about 150 students gathered by the football stadium at the Falls Township school and raised concern following reporting and two recent lawsuits by former administrators that claim serious problems within the school system. Administrators and school board members were accused of making crude and offensive comments. In addition, the lawsuits state there was retaliation against staff.

Some students carried a rainbow flag and others shouted under the watchful eye of staff.
Students said the rally was to protest the alleged actions of administrators. In a social media post, students said they wanted their voices heard.
A LevittownNow.com reporter arrived on campus to cover the protest. After quickly snapping a few photos, school security and an assistant principal asked him politely to leave. They also captured a photo of his license plate.
