The Tampa 5, female protesters arrested at USF, will not face trial but have agreed to community service as part of a year-long diversion program.

The walkout took place a day after five school staffers, including the principal, were reassigned for reportedly allowing a trans student on the girls volleyball team. The youth are pushing back against right-wing attempts to roll back progress on diversity, equity and inclusion.
