I watched a 30-second clip of the episode. What’d I describe...maybe a crowd of 40 total, and half were adults (mostly women), and half kids.

There’s nothing like a few drama queens to stir things upI can only imagine the dinner table conversation when mom or dad comes home from the base for the day.

Students in middle school? They were put up to this by parents or teachers.

[directives would affect people in the LGBTQ+ community.] It's like standing o Brainwashed by people who would relive Genesis chapter 19, and fulfilling that written in Luke 17:28-32 - with absolutely no idea of what is coming...incredible...
It's like standing on the dock in Southampton, frantically waving your arms about the iceberg they will hit, and they sneer at you as they board the luxury liner for the trip of a lifetime - a trip over 2/3 never survived ...
(newer version which includes verse 32) - both images posted
for effect

Hope all student names were recorded for this truly historic and brave action. I’m sure their parrnts will be interesting to speak with.

That school just identified themselves as part of the problem.

I went to those AFES schools in the early 60’s. We had a good time when Europe was europe. Now, no desire to venture into ever declining EUtopia. Have lived here near Kelly Barracks (Stuttgart) for more than four decades.
Have noticed, over the past ca. 20 years, that military personnel I randomly encounter at the bakery, etc. are usually just itching to make some vile remark about conservative politics / politicians. They generally drop some off-the-cuff remark with the same insouciance with which you or I might comment on the weather.
I'm talking mostly about higher-ranking personnel.
I find it especially offensive insofar as they couldn't possibly know my own political orientation - but they say these things as though it were the most-natural thing in the world.

“rather prodded I bet by the teachers”
That was my first thought in this situation. What’s required here is a curriculum audit. Lets get some transparency into what exactly you’re teaching these kids.

15 years ago is 2010. The height of Obama’s administration. So, that’s actually the real walkout against a sitting US Presidwnt.

Afro nationalism is a real security risk in the military. I’ve seen it myself several times. Currently service members who egged on this so-called walkout should be dismissed for being unreliable and disloyal.
To: irishjuggler
Hegseth should promptly discharge the parents of these brats. 100% correct. These parent obviously consider racial identity as being more important that national loyalty. They are unreliable and disloyal.
To: ransomnote
So maybe time to cancel the accompanied tour and send the protesting dependents home to the US while their sponsor finishes their European assignment?

Middle school students protesting the removal of the very curriculum that trains school shooters.

“Middle school ??? What are they putting in the milk ???”
It’s the teachers, obviously. Hopefully Hegseth finds out who’s doing this crap and boots them.
