There was a time when walking out of school, because you feel "entitled" meant you got your ass whipped at school and later by your parents.
Today they will give the little dears participation certificates for it.
Never mind getting a basic education instead. This is more important than math, science, basic literacy. In 10 years they will be popping pills and stuck with $100K debt racked up from the same nonsense.
OK, here we go....
Can you show ONE, just ONE example of where participation certificates were given out? I know you were just making stuff up to prove a fake point (some call it lying), but this is the thing. There are other people, just like you, who believe everything they read that supports their agenda, and then present it as fact.
Do you have examples, or are you just being someone else's pawn in the spread of fake news?
Regarding your other comments:
What is "entitled" or "snowflake-ish" about make a stand on an issue you feel strongly about? Honestly, I know you and I don't have the best posting history, but you made the comment, you started with the name-calling, so explain what makes that an entitled behavior.
And some would argue that knowing how to think for yourself, how to take a stand, how to STAND UP TO YOUR GOVERNMENT, are all lessons that are equally, if not more, important than the 4 r's. (Especially surprising coming from you, someone who is constantly on record as being anti-government, anti-overreach. Am I wrong about characterizing you as that?)

I don't really agree with what they are saying and believe many have don't a good grasp on the issues but I feel a 17 minute walkout about something they believe is good for them and society as a whole.
Thanks for posting this. I understand many don't agree with them, and that is fine. But it is refreshing to see someone (you) who can see the bigger picture, and the real lesson here. Even if you don't agree with their point, it's good to see kids have a cause, and good to see them deal with it constructively.
It's a damn shame to see some of the so-called adults trying to knock them down, because that's the only way they know how to fight, is to take others down, to make themselves feel bigger.

I agree that student political involvement is good. But I think they are being manipulated in this case and I don’t think a “walk out” is the proper venue.
What do you mean by, "on the right side of history?"
I wondered the same question. It could be also the side of those who like to desarm us, insert the usual conspiracies theories cliches here like Soros, Illuminati, Freemasons, etc.... Remember the moment when Ted Nugent posted a list about who was for gun control? https://reason.com/blog/2016/02/09/t...nti-semitic-ar
However, I'll be very doubtful then the Hollywood stars like Michael Moore, Barbra Streisand will get rid of their armed security guards to show the example.
What I find most funny is there's a bunch of random people online who appear to think that they should have the right to dictate what these students do or don't do.
Sounds impressive, and like it would do something.
Can you please explain exactly what it is and how it would keep firearms out of the hands of the mentally unstable ?
People only use what they have access to. Its why mentally unstable people don't typically use flame throwers, hand grenades and RPG's in mass killings. Not because they don't want to, they don't have access to those weapons. Having strict requirements on who has access to Ar-15's, semi-auto rifles and handguns would logically have the same effect.
