My thing is that should have never even been an option. Teachers are in school to teach, so they should have been in the classroom. Those who walked out should have been disciplined.

Erm, no they're not, unless you have something to prove otherwise? My kids are free to go to school without being worried about getting shot, no barbed wire, no metal detectors, no 'armed' guards (no guards at all actually). If the best response you have is a childish rant then I guess you don't have anything you can actually say to support your gun laws there? Am I right?

Why should this kid be denied the right to be educated because other people want to protest something? Is not the main reason to go to school to be educated and he was being denied that right.

That's how it works around here.

Would you be upset in the above scenario as an alleged conservative?

I'll ask you the same as I asked others who, so far, have refused to answer. What if this kid refused to take part in any of the following?

Schools are allowed to make rules, are they not? Schools are allowed to direct students where to be, are they not?

What if this was a run of the mill assembly during math class and this student refused to go to the assembly and was suspended? Would you still side with him?

The teachers did as instructed. Why are you unable to grasp this?

Unless they live in Rotherham.

Still don't see what that has to do with anything? Please don't tell me that you are going to start quoting road traffic accidents next!!? Or the price of baked beans perhaps?


Might want to start thinking about the issue at hand there?

I've given the issue plenty of thought, rest assured. Just reminding you to clean your own spilt milk before you start strutting around and preening your plumage.
