As for those students who walked out of the school in support for the teacher, I saw them on TV...they looked rather passive to me, and I know from my teaching days that any excuse to get out of class is appealing.

Oh yeah. I would have loved class walk outs!!! I would join just about any cause just to get to walk out on a boring class. Unfortunately, we had a principal everyone was scared of. :) He would walk into the lunchroom and there would be total silence. At the time I didn't like it, however when he retired the school went downhill fast. A lax coach took his place.
