Updated, 1:59 p.m.: What appeared to be several hundred Montgomery Blair High School students walked out of class Monday morning in protest over Donald Trump's election.
The students first spread out to the football field and then made their way to University Boulevard. One student told Bethesda Beat the students were marching to Northwood High School, a little over a mile and half north of Blair High School in Silver Spring.
