A vote turned into a walkout Wednesday afternoon, May 13 at Watertown High School.

The vote of 7-1 by the Watertown School District Board of Education, which was conducted Tuesday evening, May 12 during a regular board meeting, will remove a song which was scheduled for the upcoming Watertown High School Spring Concert on Monday, May 18. The song that was up for discussion by the board was an instrumental piece, "Mother of Revolution," which celebrates Marsha P. Johnson, an activist who was dedicated to social justice for transgender communties in the 1960s and 1970s.

The song is not in line with district policy, according to the Watertown School Board. 

The walkout by current students at Watertown High School was organized in order to protest the decision by the Watertown District School Board.
