Hundreds of New York City kids walked out of school Friday and staged a pro-Palestinian protest that was promoted by several radical teacher groups.

Some 350 students had descended on the Department of Education headquarters at the Tweed Courthouse in Lower Manhattan starting by 4 p.m..

They were seen waving signs on the front steps of the building calling for a cease-fire in Gaza and describing Israel’s military offensive on the region following the Oct. 7 terror attack as “genocide.”

The walkout was organized by Teachers Unite and a handful of other groups, including NYC Educators for Palestine, the Palestine Youth Movement, Al-AWDA NY, Movement of MORE Rank-&-File Educators, and Desis Rising Up and Moving, according to a protest toolkit viewed by The Post.

“I’m fighting for humanity, I don’t care what they do,” said another student from Stuyvesant High School, describing how they didn’t care about being punished by school brass for walking out.

“I took an absent day,” she added when asked if she was worried about being punished for leaving class.

A freshman from LaGuardia High School, who declined to give his name, said about 50 to 100 people walked out of the school at noon.

“We’re not exactly sure yet if we’ll be facing any penalties,” he said.

Another sophomore from Stuyvesant High School, 16-year-old Bogdan, said he came to the demonstration after dismissal so as to not face any repercussions for cutting class as had been threatened.

“I understand, but it seems to be more biased than just that — because there was a protest in March against climate change, and they were way more supportive of that than they are here,” he noted.

Abraham Fenton, 18, a senior at the Essex Street Academy senior Abraham Fenton, 18, walked out around 12:30 p.m. with about 60 others. 

They came out not only to support the Palestinians but to protest the US leadership for  “continuously [trying] to repress the student movements.,” he said.

In addition to Stuyvesant and Essex Street, students from   High School of Arts and Design,  La Guardia High School, Fort Hamilton HS and Susan E. Wagner were also at the protest.

The main organizers of the event remained unclear, with even participants saying they were not sure who was in charge.

One woman who identified herself as an organizer declined to speak to The Post.

In addition to Stuyvesant, there were about 50 to 100 kids from LaGuardia High School and an unknown number from Brooklyn Technical High School.  Police said that by 3:30 p.m. the group reached about 200.

A group of about 20 to 30 students from Fort Hamilton were among those present.

About 60 kids also walked out of Susan E. Wagner High School on Staten Island, Staten Island Live reported.

The students outside the Tweed Courthouse were also joined by educators and adult anti-Israel protesters.

The purpose of the walkout was to protect anti-Israel students and teachers “from unjust administrative retaliation and suspension,” Teachers Unite wrote online.

Teachers Unite also called for the city to redirect funding from policing and to implement lessons about Palestinian history in schools. 

Ahead of the Friday walkouts, the organizers distributed a protest toolkit to student and teacher participants.

The info sheet gave students tips on how to execute a walkout at their own school, and advised teachers on their civil engagement rights.

The walkout groups are expected to come together at the Department of Education headquarters at the Tweed Courthouse at 3 p.m. for a rally and march, the leaflet added.

Department of Education Chancellor David Banks tried to discourage the planned protest on Thursday.

“I’m a big believer in student voice and kids standing up for the things that they believe in … I don’t think you need to have continued walkouts to do that,” said Banks at a press briefing.
