The National School Walkout Sums Up Our Middle School Politics
The Federalist ^ | March 14, 2018 | Robert Tracinski

Posted on 03/14/2018 1:55:27 PM PDT by detective

The National School Walkout perfectly sums up politics in 2018. It makes total sense to draft school kids as political activists, because all of our politics is already just an inflated version of middle school.

The most striking fact about this walkout is how it became effectively a school sponsored political event in many areas. Actually, that’s only the second most striking fact. The most striking fact is that it was the brainchild of the Women’s March, an organization founded and still run by fangirls of a rabid anti-Semite. So naturally their initiatives are embraced by the nation’s teachers. I’m glad everybody got the memo about not tolerating bigots.

The media LOVED this youthful expression of unthinking leftist political activism. What I saw was a crowd of lemmings, a crowd of easily-manipulated kids incapable of critical thinking.

It looked to me that at least 90% of the kids were participating, and I wonder if any had the courage to NOT participate, or were even allowed not to participate.

I was talking to someone, who said these kids have constitutional rights and all that.

I told him that yes they have rights, but there are limits to rights; that they don’t have a right to just cut class.

I told him kids should March on a Saturday, which would allow them to have their protest, express constitutional rights, and still not miss any school.

He shut up after that.

Yes this was definitely the case at my child’s middle school. Maybe not explicitly encouraged but very welcoming if you did and a forum to gather and “express yourselves”.

I really do feel sorry for those kids. I remember how gullible I was at that age, especially having grown up with wacky parents & no guidance. They will have a brutal awakening.

It’s disgusting to see the way school kids have been exploited for the use of special interest groups over the years - in our town a few years back middle and high schoolers were parading supposedly to help persuade the school board to raise the salaries of the district’s teachers - our niece told us that some of the teachers had surreptitiously been recruiting kids to the cause and encouraging them to demonstrate - a letter to the town paper suggested that if this were happening it would be seen as using those they were supposed to be serving to the teachers’ own purposes and would be considered unethical by any reputable profession - the parading stopped and has never returned - sometimes groups such as the Women’s March must be called out directly for their tactics even beyond the substance of what they’re advocating....

The State using people’s kids to make their numbers appear larger in their attempts to strip citizens of their civil rights, all for the benefit of The State.

These women who have allowed their children to be used this way deserve their Burka.

My daughter kept her 10 and 11 yr old sons home. Figured they would learn more watching spongebob reruns than the aftermarch pap they were sure to be served in classes after their big propaganda event.

Recalling my high school days in the 60’s we were all overjoyed when someone called in a bomb threat and gave us the day off as authorities cancelled classes for the day. I suspect many of these students had the same reaction and the rest were conned by Soros and his minions.

Yeah. First words out of 7th-grade students in homeroom this a.m. were about the walk-out. My questions were WHY? FOR WHAT? WHO ORGANIZED this walk-out? Have you sought permission from the principal? (Like applying for and being granted a permit for a demonstration in a public arena.)

We teachers were told that we could not stop the walk-out due to freedom of speech and freedom of religion (HA!).

I suggested to my students that choices have consequences. They had a choice: to protest or remain in class, and I would continue the lesson...

I must add that the students who stayed are motivated to learn. Those students who left, frankly, they just breathe the air in my classroom and disrupt the learning of the students who give a sh*t. - Pardon my language.
