      I’m in Beverly Hills, where some students plan to walk out and get bused to a local park today to protest the planned route of the @metrolosangeles Purple Line beneath part of the Beverly Hills High School campus. They plan to ask Trump to revoke federal funding for the line.pic.twitter.com/FdqImyfJ1T

      Beverly Hills school and city officials have long argued - in court, and in the court of public opinion - that Metro has not considered all the risks of tunneling near the oil wells on campus, citing the risk of a methane gas explosion. Metro says it conducted extensive studies.

      The Beverly Hills students will have two hours or so in the public park during the @metrolosangeles Purple Line protest, where they will hear lessons from parent volunteers about peaceful protest. One lesson plan mentions Rosa Parks.

      There are still two lawsuits pending over the Purple Line, filed by the city and the school district of Beverly Hills, and neither has yielded an injunction to stop the project. @metrolosangeles plans to start tunneling on this segment of the project next summer.

      As I was interviewing him, his friends gathered around me and said they supported Trump, too. “The @latimes is fake news,” one of them said.

          Senior Sean Toobi, the student representative for the Beverly Hills school district, helped organize the protest. He told me delaying the @metrolosangeles construction to move the route away from the high school would be worth it, “for the health and safety of the community.”

          My story on the protests today in Beverly Hills over the @metrolosangeles subway. Officials said the crowd included more than 1,500 students, teachers and parents.http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-beverly-hills-metro-20181012-story.html …

          They don't care about the safety issues of a tunnel under the school, they just don't want L.A. metro users to go through their neighborhood. We see you, Beverly Hills High School students. You're not subtle.

          It's not even the students organizing this. It's the school board. This is a field trip organized from the top down--not a student-originated and or led walk out.
