Not when taxpayer funds, and public schools are used to only PRESENT ONE SIDE. I don't like my tax dollars going to advance an agenda in which I vehemently disagree. Why should government schools only promote the Democrat agenda, and use public funds to do it.
See my post above.
Here is the reason, it wasn't overtly political. Those who are against the "anti-gun" rally are free to assemble and ask admin to allow them to do so, but this was more so a moment of silence political statement than a gun law rally. The high school I work at actually had posters about random acts of kindness hanging from trees and where they held the rally
I think also it is that because people agree that something should be done so the students don't have to walk to school and fear they will be mamed or killed by some nut who either went to that school or just lives by it. Some are tired of hearing "We'll do something" and end up with nothing, politicians who are afraid of the gun lobby (including our president who was all talk about the changes considering this committee BS he is starting up) and politicians who say "It's not time to talk about gun violence" after the latest mass shooting. Others think that we need armed teachers, but I'd argue most students want the former rather than the latter.
For some reason these kids got the idea that what they think means something more than a hill of beans. Nothing of any consequence will change, in a couple of months we'll all be on to the next media pumped up outrage or catastrophe and this will all be long gone.
That is and has been a fact for years now...
Sounds like that state legislature who said "We should be telling THEM what to do" before giving her no vote and was met with a response of "We'll remember." We got to remember, the anti-war movement being told just that?

Yeah...I completely forgot the most important part.
Why the hell aren't these kids down at their local sheriffs' offices and their local police departments protesting the overall cowardice and bullying culture that permeates them?
At least the 60s protestors had something worth protesting--the draft.

There is the damn response.
So which is it? It was not political, or it was political? Obvious answer for anyone with more than 2 brain cells is the latter.
Props for being the first to at least attempt a reply to this important question. But sorry, the reply does not fly.

Yeah, these teens will surely run to vote when they reach majority <NOT>. By the time it gets to the point where any of these kids could affect anything there'll be another outrage to scream about. Remember, we're now in the "hecklers veto" generation...

So after 37 pages we are still waiting for a compelling response to this point. Any walkout supporters care to respond? Bueller? Anybody?
Indoctrinating children to advocate being helpless and vulnerable to predators is not abuse?
You're not even making sense. Where do you get that? Helpless and vulnerable to predators? WTH?
