3/14/18 Nationwide School Walkout Has Begun

[Weatherman2020]

I agree. Also I read that some parents were being told it’s a memorial/vigil and are not being told it’s political and anti gun. I suspect there would be fewer students present if these parents were told of the actual agenda, and also there would be fewer if students weren’t being pressurised by being told they are uncaring etc - as your post earlier pointed out.

Well, the march may be a great time and opportunity for the NRA to tempt these kids to buy themselves n assault rifle....That may mitigate and satisfy your indignation over the march.

Be a good time for the Obama loving Parkland sheriff to explain why his men sat outside and let kids get mass murdered too.

 

[Lucy Hamilton]

Best lesson they could get is that they do it on their own time and not on taxpayers money.

YES, abolish ALL field trips.....Let these kids do it on weekends, correct?

Send the SJW Communist Children on Field Trips to Cuba and Venezuela.

 

[Soggy in NOLA]

Protests should be outside school. One weekend protest doesn't make up for any number of weekday protests in school

BEST civic lesson those kids could ever have........(careful, those kids willl be voting soon......lol)

Bull shit. Politics is not an appropriate school activity. This is why our schools are primarily leftist indoctrination camps.

And again, you'd say that for an in school NRA rally, right? Or for a pro-wall, anti illegal immigration rally? Sure you would.

You WANT schools to be leftist indoctrination camps that intimidate all other views into silence

Have you noticed neither Nat nor any other Leftie will answer whether they’d accept NRA, Anti immigration or Pro Wall rallies/marches on school time.

Careful, Captain Funnybutton (Nat) will funny your post. That's as good as it gets with that one.

NON, NO.....have at it........Let's see how many kids will march.....Start organizing.......(maybe even ask the NRA for some money to do so)...........LOL

Nope. Activists. That would be the complete opposite of T&P.

Every single one of those students should be suspended for at least 5 days.

If they had my father for a teacher they'd lose 10 points off their final grade as well.

I'm glad you arent a teacher. These shootings are directly effecting students. Id be more worried if they were turning a blind eye to this ongoing mess.
The right to join with fellow citizens in protest or peaceful assembly is critical to a functioning democracy and at the core of the First Amendment.

You think school is for staging protests? Actually, their own time is for that. Another reason our schools have such shitty return for all the good money we sink into them.

School is for learning. Weekends, evenings, do whatever the hell you want. When your homework is done.

So if they were staging a pro-NRA or a pro-wall demonstration, you'd be for that too, right?

If these students werent the ones getting shot while learning, Id probably agree with you.
A pro NRA ( you baffoons think the NRA needs a demonstration lol) or a pro wall ? I would accept their right to demonstrate.

Im just glad many gun owners dont agree with you all here.

Turn the schools into mini prisons
shut those snowflakes up and wish for a van to run over them
keep the "gun free zone" farce in the forefront
Dont deal with the people who should not have access.
Students have no rights beyond what we let them have

Oh please, cut the crap. It's you who deny teachers and administrators trained in gun safety with CC permits the ability to defend themselves and their students and rely on the government who was outside directing traffic and waiting for the bullets to stop.

When reality backs up your rhetoric, then you can argue a point.

Featherbrain: Let's make guns illegal in schools, then pretend criminals can't get them! You know, like we made drugs illegal and now no one can get them!!!!

The NRA wasn't responsible for any deaths in Florida. Your stupid plan was responsible for most of the 17 since statistically based on CC rates in Florida, there were roughly 15 teachers and administrators who had CC permits and no gun. What good is a gun if you're not allowed to have it when you're being shot at?

Be a good time for the Obama loving Parkland sheriff to explain why his men sat outside and let kids get mass murdered too.

Perhaps those police were OUTGUNNED by some kid who was able to purchase an assault weapon with NO background check???........Just theorizing here.

So, those kids are "TOO YOUNG" and being manipulated by liberals....BUT are not too young to purchase an AR-15???..............lol

^^^^ An AR-15 is not an assault weapon.

And?

And still, as Tilly pointed out, you keep running from my question. So you'd support an NRA rally in school?

"Obama loving".....he has declared his love for Former President Obama? Link to that declaration......?

I think you’re going to be disappointed, Nat. You should look up the polls on what under 18s think about gun rights and the second amendment, even in 2018.

 

[featherlite]

Protests should be outside school. One weekend protest doesn't make up for any number of weekday protests in school

BEST civic lesson those kids could ever have........(careful, those kids willl be voting soon......lol)

Nah, t hey'd be better served taking actual civics lessons rather than this stupid shit or learning about my two mommies and putting condoms on cucumbers. That's how we end up with the likes of, well, you.

A better civics lesson for leftist children would be to teach them how we run elections in this country and the Constitutional way to amend the Constitution. Federal powers like immigration control would be another good thing to teach leftist children. Gun rights. They have a shit load they're not learning in civics now.

Learning to be leftist stooges manipulated and used by their parents can wait until later

We should also include how our elections are rigged and how both parties have a huge stake in manipulating the American people. The first step should probably be to free them from this right /left lock in step merry go round.

I agree, Immigration does need an over haul.

Watch: Students Put Pencils Down, Walk Out in Gun Protests

Thousands of students across the D.C. area staged walkouts Wednesday to protest gun violence, one month after the deadly shooting inside a high school in Parkland, Florida.

Police cruisers escorted hundreds of students from Montgomery Blair High School as they marched through Silver Spring, Maryland, carrying signs that said "Protect Children, Not Guns" and "Our Blood, Your Hands."

The walkout is one of the first of many in the region.

The first large-scale, coordinated national demonstration is planned for 10 a.m. Wednesday, when organizers of the Women's March called for a 17-minute walkout -- with one minute for each of the 17 students and staff members killed in Florida. Many organizers and participants are using the #enough hashtag.

Thousands of Students Are Walking Out of School in Nationwide Protests. Here’s Why

The 1969 Supreme Court ruling on the case Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District makes it clear that students don’t “shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expression at the schoolhouse gate.” But that does come with some caveats and complications.

• First, it only applies to public schools. “This is because public schools are run by the government and private schools aren’t, and the First Amendment only controls what the government can and can’t do,” the ACLU explains on its “Know Your Rights” page. Students at private schools can be stopped from participating in protests like the #Enough National School walkout, and students should consult with their teachers and school administrators and know what the policies are regarding protests or absences.
• Second, free speech in schools extends “as long as you don’t disrupt the functioning of the school or violate the school’s content-neutral policies,” the ACLU explains, and what is “disruptive” is contextual. If deemed disruptive, “schools can stop students from participating,” according to CNN.
• Third, you can be punished for participating — not over what you are protesting, but for being absent from class. “The exact punishment you could face will vary by your state, school district, and school,” the ACLU explains. “Find out more by reading the policies of your school and school district. If you’re planning to miss a class or two, look at the policy for unexcused absences.” If planned ahead with parents, students may be able to be signed out of a class by a parent.
• Finally, schools are mandated to be guardians to their students. “Schools stand in what’s known as loco parentis, so we don’t simply release our students into the ether,” Francisco Negron, the Chief Legal Officer at the National School Boards Association, told NPR. Negron issued guidance to schools ahead of the walkouts. “Chief among our recommendations is that to the extent possible, school districts should plan ahead and engage your students, parents, and stakeholders,” the checklist reads. Teachers also have a complex position when it comes to protesting; they can often protest on their own time, but not during class time, according to CNN.

Next nationwide protest is March 24th, and I will be attending that one.

Activists Lay Thousands of Shoes Outside U.S. Capitol

Activists placed thousands of pairs of shoes on the lawn outside the Capitol in Washington, D.C. Tuesday to memorialize children killed by gun violence.

The demonstration was planned by international advocacy group Avaaz to represent the number of children killed by guns since the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in 2012, CBS News reports.

The demonstration was based on research by the American Academy of Pediatrics that found that 1,300 children die from gun shot wounds in the U.S. annually, or about three daily. Thus the display featured 7,000 pairs of shoes.

The protestors assembled the empty shoes on the southeast lawn from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. in an effort to push Congress for gun reform.

I turned on the radio this morning and you should hear conservatives talk about these kids. They are monkeys throwing their feces at children. It's disgusting.

We've arrived at a place where America's children are screaming at adults that they are tired of being slaughtered and murdered for showing up to school. But conservatives have their head so far up the nRA's ass that they will even disparage children.

There is no bottom for conservatives anymore. They follow their only god, the Republican Politburo, with absolute obedience on their knees now. There is no morality or decency left in them. Now they even denigrate children.

He passed a background check.

The suspect in a Florida school shooting bought the AR-15-style rifle used in the attack legally a year ago, authorities said Thursday.

Nikolas Cruz, 19, is charged with murdering 17 people at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, where he had been expelled for fighting, according to authorities.

Cruz lawfully bought the semiautomatic rifle last February, according to Peter Forcelli, special agent in charge of the Miami office of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

The gun, a Smith & Wesson M&P 15 .223, was purchased at Sunrise Tactical Supply, according to the Associated Press.

Federal law allows people 18 and older to legally purchase long guns, including this kind of assault weapon. With no criminal record, Cruz cleared an instant background check via the FBI criminal database.

I suppose I walked into that one. Leftists teachers will slam their grades and the leftist children will go fascist on them.

Does it bother you at all that children in this country are no longer free to state their views unless they are leftists? Does that bother you at all? In the United States of America?

I have two daughters and that was a constantly difficult discussion with them for real why they had to hide their political views in their own schools right here in America. They're both libertarians like their old man. We just believe government should be the last solution, not the first one.

When you talk about Republicans being "Nazis," wow

I can see why you need to set up strawmen though.

Oh whatever... their chances are far greater of dying in a texting while driving accident (11 per day) than being shot. Matter of fact, their chances of being shot are virtually 0.

I agree. Also I read that some parents were being told it’s a memorial/vigil and are not being told it’s political and anti gun. I suspect there would be fewer students present if these parents were told of the actual agenda, and also there would be fewer if students weren’t being pressurised by being told they are uncaring etc - as your post earlier pointed out.

Well, the march may be a great time and opportunity for the NRA to tempt these kids to buy themselves n assault rifle....That may mitigate and satisfy your indignation over the march.

It would be a great opportunity for the kids to ask why their schools do nothing to protect them and why the authorities allowed their classmates to be slaughtered when the loony perp had been flagged up almost 40 times and even stated what he intended to do.
Of course the reason none of this has been raised by the teachers is it would interfere with their rabid obsession with taking peoples rights away.
