National School Walkout planned by students worldwide after Parkland shooting
FoxNews ^ | March 13, 2018 | Kaitlyn Schallhorn

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.

I remember a lot of that crap going on during Nam - we had a lot of extra “vacation” days...

Drugs of all kinds including heroin and fentanyl are covering our country like a plague of locusts. So what do Democrats say about it...crickets.

My 5th grader’s school is participating in this bullshit. She brought home a permission slip to attend and be photographed protesting.
The district sent an email explaining that there would be a walk out, and a write in, where they would write letters to elected officials demanding action on guns.
5th grade... And already being exploited by lefty scumbags.

The schools take roll so that THEY GET PAID for each student who is there (Average Daily Attendance). THAT is why they make such a big deal about kids being in school. They need to be reminded that they work for us!!

So the kids will be there long enough to take roll and turn it in (for ADA), as will the teachers. So they will all get paid for being Sheep for Soros. Paid by US!

I’d have walked out had this happened when I was in school.

And gone straight to the swimming hole.

I wonder how many people know what the Fourth of July is about?

If I were a teacher I would give short quizzes on American history for extra credit.

“Students organized” nothing. This is a Soros / Sarsour (see “Women’s March” executive list) production; any ‘news’ that suggests actual kids are doing anything other than receiving orders and acting as playacting figureheads is lying.

I'm sure a background report on the parents of some of these "student leaders" would make for interesting reading.

No kidding. The thought has crossed my mind more then once.
It’s like the pediatrician asking if there are guns in the house.

“Does anyone in your family own a gun?”
“How many guns do they own?”
“Have you ever seen them act odd?”

You have nailed it! This is the next step, turning our mind-numbed little darlings into gun-hating government snitches.

GVRO laws are spreading across the country where ex’s, neighbors, and now your kids can denounce you to the po-po.

Forget the Constitution and due process. Orwellian!

I’m thinking I’ll visit my kids’ school tomorrow at 10am.
They’d better be inside learning.
