school boycotts
Refusing classroom attendance
School boycotts are organized refusals by students, parents, or communities to attend school as a form of protest.
They typically target educational policies, segregation, or institutional conditions: Civil rights activists organized school boycotts to protest segregated facilities.
The tactic pressures authorities by disrupting normal operations and drawing public attention to grievances.
