Reading the article, the student was NOT participating in the walk out. He was skipping school when he was hit while crossing a highway. Why remove the students 1st Amendment rights for this? The stupidity on the right gets worse and worse.

GOP political "Talking points.. often Non't bother looking beyond it>post NOT bother READING the actual FACTS
Since Extreme Trolls continue to try and propagandize> False narrative to bolster the BS NRA/GOP/Russian funded messages~~~ I will post like once again and actually quote just who this juvenile got killed.. NOTHING to do with walkout other than using time outs to do what he wanted to do!!
Ysleta Independent School District Superintendent Xavier De La Torre said the boy was with a group of about 12 to 15 students who used the National School Walkout as a way to leave Parkland Middle to go to a park. Boy wasn't participating in walkout
The student was hit while crossing the highway during the walkout, but was not participating in the walkout, De La Torre said.
It was “a separate, isolated event of a group of students†who left the school as other students protested gun violence, he said.
De La Torre added that the students who left with the boy are being questioned by law enforcement about why they left the school and how the accident happened.
Grief counselors went to Parkland Middle to provide help for students and faculty dealing with the tragedy, De La Torre said.

If he used the walkout to skip class, then it's on the school for even opening the door for this to happen!
Here is a quote from another article that quite clearly shows that it was BECAUSE of the walkout that this student died. (BTW, I was wrong, it was in Texas. But what are the odds that this student died near a school named Parkland? I was mistaken earlier to think it was the same Parkland.)
EL PASO, Texas (KFOX14) — A sixth-grade student at a northeast El Paso middle school was killed Friday morning.
The 11-year-old boy, was struck by a vehicle around 10:27 a.m. along the northbound lanes of Loop 375 near Parkland Middle School.
The boy was identified as Jonathan Benko, by University Medical Center officials.
Benko was taken to the hospital, where he died, said Sgt. Robert Gomez, of the El Paso Police Department.
Around noon, Ysleta Independent School District officials notified parents of the boy’s death via voicemail.
"It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we inform you of the death of a Parkland Middle School student who left campus this morning and was struck by a vehicle on Loop 375," said the voicemail.
Ysleta ISD Superintendent Xavier De la Torre spoke to the media around 1:45 p.m. about the tragedy.
He said the Benko was with a group of 12 to 15 students who left the campus during a planned walkout at the school.
De la Torre said the group of students “breached” the school’s perimeter during a planned walkout at the school.
“This group of students, in a separate, isolated incident, who decided not to participate in the walkout but instead decided to use it perhaps as a way to get off the premises and go meet at the park,” said De La Torre.
Stop with the drama. One kid is hit by a car and killed, sad, but it happens all the time. It was an accident, not premeditated. He left the protest and that put him in harms way.
Sometimes you guys come up with the weakest arguments and try to make them something earthshaking.
There are laws about where people can smoke. You can’t smoke in a restaurant, you can’t smoke in the movie theater, you can’t smoke in church, you can’t smoke within a certain distance from a door used by the public.
Bad analogy.
