3/14/18 Nationwide School Walkout Has Begun

[EGR one]

The authoritarian right fears dissent and free expression.

Strange, but I don't recall authoritarian right protests or riots over speakers from the left. Nor, do I recall any authoritarian right demands for free speech zones, or language limitations. Perhaps, you are just projecting your own sins.

Why do the democrats oppose armed security and staff inside our schools....

Oh, maybe for such incidents.......

That's what happens when you advertise yourself as a gun free zone

Really, dumbass? THAT'S why students shoot up their own schools? Just STFU already....

That is why they target GUN FREE ZONES, tard. Of course they choose the path of least resistance.

Several states' legislatures voted to either allow teachers to CCW, or hire armed security in schools yesterday.

No more "Gun Free Zones" in schools.

Once again for Forest Gump

And again...explain these truths...

You keep attacking the NRA...the NRA supports the FIX NICS act....the democrats oppose it.

You keep attacking the NRA...the NRA supports armed security and armed staff in the schools, the democrats oppose it.

The NRA teaches fun safety to millions of children...the democrats fight teaching gun safety to kids.

The NRA supports keeping violent gun offenders in prison, the democrats let violent gun offenders out of jail and pass laws letting them out early.

The NRA doesn't support the PROMISE PROGRAM, of obama, which allowed the shooter to get the gun...the democrats created and support the Promise program...which allowed the shooter to get his gun...

Since those are the facts, the truth and the reality.....

Of the two groups...the democrats are the ones supporting violent murder, not the NRA...

The shooter wasn't safe enough for Reasonable (sic). He's disappointed with the body count

Watch: Students Put Pencils Down, Walk Out in Gun Protests

Thousands of students across the D.C. area staged walkouts Wednesday to protest gun violence, one month after the deadly shooting inside a high school in Parkland, Florida.

Police cruisers escorted hundreds of students from Montgomery Blair High School as they marched through Silver Spring, Maryland, carrying signs that said "Protect Children, Not Guns" and "Our Blood, Your Hands."

The walkout is one of the first of many in the region.

The first large-scale, coordinated national demonstration is planned for 10 a.m. Wednesday, when organizers of the Women's March called for a 17-minute walkout -- with one minute for each of the 17 students and staff members killed in Florida. Many organizers and participants are using the #enough hashtag.

Thousands of Students Are Walking Out of School in Nationwide Protests. Here’s Why

The 1969 Supreme Court ruling on the case Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District makes it clear that students don’t “shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expression at the schoolhouse gate.” But that does come with some caveats and complications.

• First, it only applies to public schools. “This is because public schools are run by the government and private schools aren’t, and the First Amendment only controls what the government can and can’t do,” the ACLU explains on its “Know Your Rights” page. Students at private schools can be stopped from participating in protests like the #Enough National School walkout, and students should consult with their teachers and school administrators and know what the policies are regarding protests or absences.
• Second, free speech in schools extends “as long as you don’t disrupt the functioning of the school or violate the school’s content-neutral policies,” the ACLU explains, and what is “disruptive” is contextual. If deemed disruptive, “schools can stop students from participating,” according to CNN.
• Third, you can be punished for participating — not over what you are protesting, but for being absent from class. “The exact punishment you could face will vary by your state, school district, and school,” the ACLU explains. “Find out more by reading the policies of your school and school district. If you’re planning to miss a class or two, look at the policy for unexcused absences.” If planned ahead with parents, students may be able to be signed out of a class by a parent.
• Finally, schools are mandated to be guardians to their students. “Schools stand in what’s known as loco parentis, so we don’t simply release our students into the ether,” Francisco Negron, the Chief Legal Officer at the National School Boards Association, told NPR. Negron issued guidance to schools ahead of the walkouts. “Chief among our recommendations is that to the extent possible, school districts should plan ahead and engage your students, parents, and stakeholders,” the checklist reads. Teachers also have a complex position when it comes to protesting; they can often protest on their own time, but not during class time, according to CNN.

Next nationwide protest is March 24th, and I will be attending that one.

Activists Lay Thousands of Shoes Outside U.S. Capitol

Activists placed thousands of pairs of shoes on the lawn outside the Capitol in Washington, D.C. Tuesday to memorialize children killed by gun violence.

The demonstration was planned by international advocacy group Avaaz to represent the number of children killed by guns since the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in 2012, CBS News reports.

The demonstration was based on research by the American Academy of Pediatrics that found that 1,300 children die from gun shot wounds in the U.S. annually, or about three daily. Thus the display featured 7,000 pairs of shoes.

The protestors assembled the empty shoes on the southeast lawn from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. in an effort to push Congress for gun reform.

So?

Trained pilots still crash. Professional drivers still get in traffic acidents

so why is a firearms instructor held t a different standard?

leftists don't even hold themselves to a standard of achieving anything. They'll just say well we had to try ...

Gun control is a contentious political and constitutional matter, so why Is this one sided spectacle considered an appropriate and acceptable use of school funds?
Would the left be OK if schools used funds to mobilise the schoolchildren to march for the abolishment of abortion? Would that be an acceptable and appropriate use of school funds?

How is the schools using any funds for a voluntary walk out?

They aren't using any of your money. No worries.

But for taxpayers, they are taking our money and not providing the education that I'm paying them for. You think the teachers are going to take the time they're being paid for and not working and give the money back ???

You probably do. LMAO

Naw, they do it because they just happen to have a semi-auto rifle handy, and it is a boring day. What a choice! Shoot up the local police station, the city hall, the court house, or the public school? Such hard decisions.

• From a 16-year-old high school girl: “I was planning on not participating in the walkout. I do not see the point in leaving class to simply walk outside, stand and talk with peers for 17 minutes, and return to class. The act of walking out of class to 'protest school violence' does not seem to have a target audience, even though they may have a news crew, it is doubtful that the students in Florida will see the actions of our school’s walkout as a stand with solidarity. I also support the 2nd Amendment and see this walkout as another opportunity for students and their parents to attack that amendment and my support of gun control…I do see that my refusal to participate may be seen as unsympathetic or cruel. My brother, who is a freshman, is being pressured in class to participate.”
• From a 17-year-old high school student: “tomorrow my school is having a walkout at 10:00 ‘for the 17 students who were killed in the Parkland, Fl shooting.’ The walkout, however, here at my school, is not really about that. It is being promoted by an anti-gun/leftist political agenda that I just don’t and can’t support, especially using the 17 kids that were MY AGE as a platform. I was wondering what you would say to people who want to call me ‘insensitive’ and ‘a terrible person.’”
• From another 17-year-old high school student: “The reason I am emailing is because my school is having a walkout on March 14th. They say in an email that this walkout is to advocate for gun reform but they also say that we are walking to honor the victims of the parkland massacre. I am in favor of walking to honor the victims, but not in favor of promoting gun reform. I feel like I have to choose between going against my political values or looking like a bad person. I need help. What do I do?”
• From another high schooler: “My high school is participating in the walkout on Wednesday, and I am unsure what to do. I am very against gun control and don't want to protest congress for something they are doing right, if that makes sense. However, I don't want to be singled out by students as someone who ‘doesn't care about the students who died.’ Should I participate and conform to avoid humiliation and honor the students or should I remain in class alone? I don’t know if the walkout is more about gun control or honoring the students.”

And of those, they consistently pick the one of the three where they are promised there are no guns. And leftists don't see a correlation ...

I know if I'm ever killed, all I ask is that it wasn't because I'm white. Violence isn't a big deal unless it's racially motivated.

Asshole

Nope. Activists. That would be the complete opposite of T&P.

Typical leftist protest. Their leftist parents talked them into it. Self victimization is something you need to start teaching leftist children early. Otherwise they may pass on the kool-aid line when it's time to drink. Then where would the Democrat party be?

How moronic........again, why not shoot up a nursing home with Alzheimer patients.....or an outdoor concert (oh, wait).....or a church (oh, wait)....or a baseball game (oh, wait....)

Outdoor concerts and baseball games have security now. How can you possibly not know that?

 

[featherlite]

Nope. Activists. That would be the complete opposite of T&P.

Every single one of those students should be suspended for at least 5 days.

If they had my father for a teacher they'd lose 10 points off their final grade as well.

I'm glad you arent a teacher. These shootings are directly effecting students. Id be more worried if they were turning a blind eye to this ongoing mess.
The right to join with fellow citizens in protest or peaceful assembly is critical to a functioning democracy and at the core of the First Amendment.

However there is no right for political bigwigs to pull kids out of school to promote their latest garbage.
