Schools Out (17 minute protest)

[indiucky]

A man after my own heart. And that’s saying a lot.

When I was a kid i would most likely have walked out of school for any cause just to get out of school.

According to the libs, anyone under 21 can't be trusted to own a gun but apparently they can be trusted to vote and tell us adults what is right...??? They are kids and they have some growing up to do yet. The real shame is that millionaire adults are using these uninformed kids to shamelessly promote their own agendas to try to accomplish things that they have been unable accomplish through logic and reasoning.

I like this kid's POV

he's certainly earned his platform to weigh in on the issue.

My problem is with the resurgence of an old American tradition of celebrating young people as inherently wiser and more moral than adults...

I don't know, I'm pretty stubborn and contrary.
The more I get pushed, for any reason, the more I push back.
My spirit animal is a donkey.

National Walkout: Nickelodeon off air for 17 minutes recognizing Parkland

Maybe they should go 17 days without electronics.

Maybe they should go 17 days without electronics.

If the protesters could go 17 hours....or minutes without expressing every thought they have, I would be impressed.

I guess I missed all of this because I was at work.

I know what would've happened if I would've walked out during class because of my feelings and the actions of some idiot.

my son didn't walk out and he informed me today that only 3 out of the 15 in his class did walk out. I don't know why they all stayed, I would hope it was for the same reason my son did.

Our school had a walk out back n 1982 from students who thought the new principal was to harsh. His response...all the kids were suspended for 3 days. Lol.

(from a mom too

My son asked if he could walk out in protest today...here's how the conversation went...
Son: is it ok if I protest on Wednesday?
Me: protest what? Why would you do that?
Son: protests initiate change; they bring awareness to the issue
Me: yes, like what...
Son: like civil rights; people had to protest for the right to vote, etc (he went on)
Me: that's true! Protests can be a great catalyst. So what are you protesting?
Son: gun laws
Me: and what are the current gun laws?
Son: I don't know, but they need to change
Me: how do you know that if you don't know what they are? Who makes the gun laws? Whose attention are you trying to get? State, federal, local...?
Son: I don't know
Me: then no, you may not protest in ignorance. You don't protest something just bc everyone else is doing it.
What is happening in our schools is wrong, and scary, and sad, and yes, some things need to change.
But you must educate yourself before you can be an agent of change.
...I'm all about protesting for change, for justice, and being passionate about a cause; I'm not about blindly following the crowd in ignorance...

Ditto. I think some may need a refresher. For those missing the reference (assuming I have bead on OD's notion)...

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances
