When news of the Parkland school shooting first broke, it resonated with 17-year-old Naomi Giancola.
A junior at Midwood High School in Brooklyn, New York – some 1,200 miles away from Marjory Stoneman Douglas, the Florida high school where a gunman murdered 17 students and faculty on Feb. 14 – Giancola immediately thought the tragedy could have easily happened at her own school.
“It really hit home because I’m in high school. That could have been my school, that could have been my friends, that could have been me that was shot or running away,” Giancola told Fox News.
So along with 16-year-old Madeline Paterna, Giancola arranged for her school to participate in the National School Walkout, a protest led by students demanding action against gun violence, on March 14 – one month after the Parkland school shooting.
“It was really scary to think that could have been us, and I just wanted to do something because I don’t want it to happen again," Giancola said.

The headline does not make sense. Is it a nationwide walkout or is it a worldwide walkout?
Well, considering the weather forecast for the east coast, there won’t be a lot of school walk outs here.
You have to have school first, for them to walk out of.
And Syracuse area is looking at 10-15 inches of global warming from this storm.
What a hoot.
School walkout canceled due to global warming.
Saw a headline that they are planning to seek the death penalty in this case.
In every school I've worked at, most teachers would be egging them on, creating lesson plans and offering extra credit.
A few math, science and shop teachers might possibly object - mostly male.
The progressive playbook has always “relied on the stupidity of the American people”. Now we must listen to 17-year olds.
Spit.
Now, if they’d only be that concerned with teenage drinking and driving, teenage pregnancy, teenage texting and driving, etc.
One and only sentence refers to the international aspect
to ‘senior class skip day’.....Ireland, Israel, Mexico.
In Mexico you have to flash your cartel card to own a
gun....the students of Israel are protected by armed
soldiers everywhere....can anybody own a gun in Ireland?
Oh, that’s right! Gun toting Yanks underwrite their
freedom to march against the idiosyncrasies of other
countries....
The new human shields of the dimocrat party.
The answer is to skip the day altogether. Don’t go in and you can’t “walk out”.
Get a note from your parents, I’m sure they would support this decision.
Keep your kids home. The schools will not get ADA money for them, but they will for those who ‘attend’ the walk out.
That is what I would do if I had kids in school.
What is ADA money?
Wouldn't that be international?
That’s someone else. No one they know does those things.
If teens having sex, sexting, getting pregnant, getting drunk, getting drunk before school, getting drunk at the prom and getting in a wreck, texting while driving and getting in a wreck, etc. were problems, we’d be hearing about them in the news. wouldn’t we?
I think it is shameful how foreign nations are trying to influence US elections.
My son in public school told me those not wishing to participate in this nonsense are congregating in the schools gym. 90% of the boys are going to the gym; 90% of the girls are going outside where they will be inviting targets for any maniac or terrorist wishing them harm.
My daughter’s Catholic school is having a prayer/Rosary service instead of allowing a walkout.
Did the people of Mehi Co. ever protest against the gun running Obama-Holder staged to get firearms to narcoterrorists in Mexico?
That means he will die of old age
Don’t go to school that day. If they are to be penned in the gym instead of actually holding classes, refuse to participate that day.
Walk out on the walk out. 24 hour “flu”.
We used to protest the lack of THC in our systems when I was in school.
At or around the time of our nation’s founding, kids AND their parents would be rioting for the preservation of their rights to own and carry weapons.
