You know the great thing about this Country? If you don't like what they have to say you can make a sign, recruit your friends and hold a counter protest. It seems to me that would be far more productive than whining about them on a public forum.
So asking them to be specific about what they want to change and expecting a coherent answer is *whining*? Since they are traveling to state captals, DC, and now other countries?
They've had a ton of financial backing. They've had a ton of media direction. They are connected politically.
Not a student led agenda. At all.
Do they personally receive pay or are some of their expenses (travel to DC, to townhalls, etc) reimbursed by supporters? I believe it is the latter. Almost immediately after the shooting, the students started their movement to make schools safer. It is most definitely student led. They could have been in long term trauma recovery after the shooting and almost everyone would have understood, but they chose to be courageous, think about and act on behalf of students everywhere in the USA.
A staunch Republican Florida governor, Rick Scott, recently signed a gun control bill. That would have been unthinkable before the Parkland survivors started their movement!
Calling out nonsense on the meek attempt/fail to discredit their sincere efforts. Kudos to them!

Hmm .. must be the new *english*.
Last I checked it was simply SEEKING INFORMATION.
And there is STILL no answer.
What do they WANT?
Why not listen to what they have said rather than asking someone here to summarize it for you?

What have they accomplished to make schools safer?
I doesn't look like you did. Let me ask you, what do you think needs to be done?
Oh right, you think all of these school shootings are false flags with state actors.
