Too funny. They can't generate any interest from any reasonable adults so they have to go after high school students by giving them a reason to miss class. These pathetic socialist parasites don't deserve the protection afforded them by our military.

This is part of a national "day of resistance," carried out by an organization called World Can't Wait (www.worldcantwait.org), a front group for the Revolutionary Communist Party. Actions for tomorrow are planned across the nation. The list of endorsers is a who's who of Leftists!

It's getting very close to the time we have to go to war with these communist subervisionists. They are domestic enemies and should be dealt with accordingly.

young heads full of mush, the dumb kids will simply see this as a free day and "bail" from school and the rally.

Of course the ignorance promoters will claim all the students.

If somebody was financially smart they would schedule a for profit party at the same time (theme irrelevant) and the take the steam from everyone.

But protest organizer Carrie Hathorn said that for students, most of whom are too young to vote, walking out of class is one of the few ways to express their political views.

Yep - in my day it was a good chance to grab a smoke, share a stolen can of beer among 4+ kids, and a snack at Micky D's. Wonder what today's kids will do, a quick soy latte at Starbucks before a trip to the piercing shack at the mall?

Maybe 2% of the kids really care, the rest are just looking for an excuse to cut class.

Seattle is a liberal haven with, unsurprisingly, a very high crime rate.

Merle rules.

I wonder if they're copying the senate or vice versa.

To cut class to attend your grandmother's funeral needs a note not just from your parents, but from the Funeral Home. But you can skip school to march downtown with a bunch of strangers for a whacko political cause without parental consent or punishment. The whole idea of civil disobedience is to take the punishment because you feel your cause is worth the struggle. These students are being enabled to disobey the law by the district and their instructors. Now there's a quality education for ya. No wonder so many parents homeschool their children!

Update:::

KVI reports an overwhelming 200 (yes, thats TWO HUNDRED) students showed up...

Also reported, out of the 200, one out of four were adults...

yawn...

Wolf, I see that happening at some point. It's either confront them or give up this great country. Don't know when it'll happen, but I don't doubt that it will.
