Parkland school shooting survivor David Hogg says he will not return to Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School until more gun control is passed. Hogg made the comments Sunday during a gun control rally held at Temple B’nai Abraham in Livingston, New Jersey.
The New York Daily News reports that Hogg said, “I’m not going back to school on Wednesday until one bill is passed.” He did not specify which law he wants most, only that he is not going back until at least one law garners the support of lawmakers.
He said, “Literally any legislation at this point would be a success. Considering the fact that so few legislators in Florida met with us and they want the people to forget, that’s disgusting. The fact that they want people to forget about this and elect them again as the child murderers they are, that’s unacceptable and we’re not going to let that happen.”
To date, state-level gun control proposals include “tougher background checks,” a bump stock ban, a waiting period for long gun purchases, raising minimum age for rifle purchases to 21-years old, and gun confiscation orders similar to California’s Gun Violence Restraining Orders. All of these gun controls were proposed last week by Florida Gov. Rick Scott (R) and not a single one of them would have prevented the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.

The tide pod effect.
He’s not going to return because he already graduated from HS in California in 2015.
Is there a way to find out who this little twerp “reall” is and when he “really” was born and when he “really” graduated (or will graduate) High School?
Surely the truth about him CAN be found out?
Seniors ALWAYS get bigger pictures, with stuff they write about themselves and sometimes a quote, underneath them.
Didn't YOU graduate from high school/ever see any year books?
Perhaps it’s 8th grade graduation.
when does he enlist?
Young Hogg seems more adept at burning bridges than he is at forging alliances.
Does he plan to graduate?? No special favors for this young opportunist.
*Yawn*
ahh....so this is all about playing hookey
First of all, the law:
(c) A student who attains the age of 16 years during the school year is not subject to compulsory school attendance beyond the date upon which he or she attains that age if the student files a formal declaration of intent to terminate school enrollment with the district school board. Public school students who have attained the age of 16 years and who have not graduated are subject to compulsory school attendance until the formal declaration of intent is filed with the district school board. The declaration must acknowledge that terminating school enrollment is likely to reduce the student’s earning potential and must be signed by the student and the student’s parent.(emphasis added) The school district shall notify the student’s parent of receipt of the student’s declaration of intent to terminate school enrollment. The student’s certified school counselor or other school personnel shall conduct an exit interview with the student to determine the reasons for the student’s decision to terminate school enrollment and actions that could be taken to keep the student in school. The student’s certified school counselor or other school personnel shall inform the student of opportunities to continue his or her education in a different environment, including, but not limited to, adult education and high school equivalency examination preparation. Additionally, the student shall complete a survey in a format prescribed by the Department of Education to provide data on student reasons for terminating enrollment and actions taken by schools to keep students enrolled.
So Boss Hogg is within his right to bail on school. And frankly, WHY SHOULD HE STAY IN PUBLIC SCHOOL WHEN HE IS UNARMED?
Smart people should make this point as loudly as possible. That the REAL story here is that it took murder and mayhem to convince the son of an ex-FBI agent that compulsory education is dangerous.
Are you serious posting that trash as “debunking proof”? Seriously? Arent you supposed to be over at Democratic Underground?
Which part is trash? Please be specific.
The little Hogg bastard can move to North Korea for all I care.
No guns for the citizens over there in North Korea, baby Hogg. You should feel right at home.
Does this mean he will be getting even dumber?
good.
Boring little tantrum thrower. Home school, nobody cares.
He’s got an open ticket to any university.
A hero for the left.
That geek...well back in my day he would have won an award for most swirlies and atomic wedgies received in a semester. Second place no where close.
