And I left there I heard the ACLU is on it too

Yup. When wingnut school boards or superintendents started announcing they would punish students for protests or walk-outs, the ACLU issued a public statement (and letters to said people) that while a school can punish someone for a walkout, it can do no more than it would for any other student skipping a class. Moreover, if that school made an announcement that is specifically was punishing students for exercising their I Amendment rights, the school would be open to lawsuits from parents or civil libertarian organisations.
