Anthony Soltero: “martyr” or “misguided youth”?

There has been some debate around the blogosphere over how to treat the suicide of Anthony Soltero, a 14-year-old from Californian who shot himself after being disciplined for taking part in a student walkout during school hours. Latino Issues believes that Soltero should have been better able to face the consequences of skipping school and wonders what role his mother should have played. Conversely, a poster to VivirLatino believes that Soltero justly took part in a protest against unjust laws and the school overreacted with Soltero’s punishment.

So what do you all think about the case of Anthony Soltero?
