The organizer say he was listed as a speaker, but didnt show up. It's kind of hard to speak at a rally you don't show up to.
Do you see every single tweet that's made, every single news item that is written, etc. ? I sure don't. In fact, if it weren't for this forum I may not have even heard about him being bullied over his shirt, after him finding out his daughter had died. Just because something is out there does not mean people see it all. some people do have lives.

It takes a lot of courage to put yourself out there in today’s world of social media. It’s brutal to be a celebrity or politician.

These kids haven’t exactly been nice though, so I’m not sure what they expect. They started out blaming millions of gun owners and said the NRA has blood on their hands, while saying their local law enforcement was blameless when they weren’t.

What is their end goal? They claim they don’t want to take away people’s guns, but then you hear them talk about countries that took guns away. We aren’t an island, and we have a whole lot more guns than most other countries. And a population that will not give up their guns willingly.
EXACTLY!

Everyone knows what their end game is, but just dont want to say it. Because in reality, its stupid, if they really gave it critical thinking.

But whatever, let them be heard. Little do they know it was brave men and women with guns that gave them the freedom to speak and the right to protest.

That is never how any rally ever works. It paints you folks in a bad light how they are being bullied and shamed. We're supposed to be the grown-ups here.

What it shows me is they have you folks scared that they make get some of the changes they are protesting for. More pwoer to them!
Terrified. The Kids are going to win this one, and they know it.

Your right to speak freely means the government cannot shut you up. The amendment says nothing about your momma, your boss, or people having a protest rally.

The father spoke poignantly when he visited the White House with his sons and other victims' families after the shooting. You may want to search out that video on the White House youtube channel.

I happened to spot this short article with video that the father took today.
His Sister Died In Parkland. He Wanted To Spe | The Daily Caller
He can hold his own rally.

It's like letting Franklin Graham preach an anti-gay sermon at a gay pride parade, or Bernie at a Tea Party rally.

Its up to the organizers to decide who speaks and who doesn't.

Part of the message of the organizers is to vote out people who take money from the NRA.

Why would they put on a speaker in a Trump shirt?

Safe schools is not their message. Their message was handed to them by CNN and anti-gun advocates. Their message is a gun ban.

Exactly and that’s why you see all the personal attacks increasing on these kids. But what they don’t understand is that kids in that age group could careless what they are called. This is their issue and they are going to continue it and is one where the majority of their generation agrees with them.
