David Hogg Says Teachers Are ‘Very Understanding’ When He Skips School for Gun Control Rallies
breitbart ^ | 24 Mar 2018 | AWR HAWKINS

Parkland shooting survivor and gun control activist David Hogg says his teachers are “very understanding” when he skips school for gun control rallies. Axios asked Hogg, “How do you do all this and make sure you graduate?”

Hogg replied, “Good question. Talking to my teachers and trying to work it out day by day. I was supposed to do a math test yesterday, and I was like, ‘Nah,’ but it works out. My teachers are very understanding.”

Axios followed up by asking Hogg if there is more his school could be doing for him. Hogg responded by suggesting his school should work harder on “equality” for all. He said his school is “25 percent black,” but his AP classes only have “one black student for every 30 students.” He described that ratio as “disgusting.”

Ryan Saavedra tweeted a video of the interview:

On March 23, Breitbart News reported that the latest Time magazine cover featured a photo of Hogg and other Parkland students who supported gun control. Parkland students wishing to defend the Second Amendment were omitted from the cover photo.

You’d have to be nuts if whatever college accepted this kid for college.
Right UC Berkley ?

How did this kid become the spokesman for the school?

He didn't "become" anything. The shadow masters of the radical left CHOSE him ... probably at the same time they set up the murders.

To me he looks like David Byrne from the 80’s band Talking Heads.

Suggestion:
1) Research school district policy on how many days a student can miss before “failing to graduate”.
2) Document the days Hogg has missed school, using public sources to prove he was out of the area. Document how many days Hogg’s school was closed due to the massacre.
3) Once Hogg is safely over the limit (without relying on the officially closed days), send a well-written letter to the school District Superintendent, presenting their policy, and Hogg’s days absent (with attached documentation), and the obvious conclusion — that he cannot graduate due to non-attendance.
4) Ask that the Superintendent conduct an independent review of Hogg’s attendance as reported, to determine if his attendance has been reported accurately by the teachers and school administration.
5) Require a written response about their findings and intentions on whether they will allow students with insufficient attendance to graduate.
6) Note that federal funds are allocated based on daily attendance, and you would hate for the SD to be caught falsifying attendance reports. Copy the letter to the state and federal DoE.

This seems small, but Hogg is a warped, very ignorant, dictator in training, who is doing his best to destroy liberty for all Americans. Preventing his graduation could save lives.

To me he looks like one of those hubrids Dr. Jacobs is always talking about.

I’ve been wondering this, since DAY ONE of this FF, er, tragedy.

Has even ONE FakeNews outlet asked him this question???

I’m also disgusted that Fox News stooped to the FakeNews level and broadcast this nonsense ‘March’, yesterday...and are STILL giving it attention, today. (>>CLICK!<<)

RIP to those who lost lives.

We saw a yearbook pic of this kid online last purported to be from Redondo Beach High in CA. There is also footage of him on a CA TV station talking about another shooting last year. The whole thing is stinky cheese.

THAT PIN SHOULD BE GIVEN TO MEMBERS OF CONGRESS ...ONLY.

Not to a 17 or 18 year old spoiled brat...with a potty mouth, worst than a drunken sailor.

I noticed he was wearing it since his visit with DIFI...maybe she adopted him as a grandson or great grandson at her age...

Yeah, I can see the resemblence.

David Hogg is on his way to becoming the next Bill Ayers. Hope he wises up before then.

He’s already said that he’s waiting for old people to just die off.

He’s of the same mindset at Bill Ayers of the Weather Underground who figured that they’d have to kill of 25,000,000 Americans who couldn’t/wouldn’t be re-educated to embrace Communism.

The shooter was aged 19 as is one of the girl students who is also a protester.

A lot of kids have been held back at that school when some of them should be taking Summer School if they want to graduate on time or be kicked out to pursue a GED at night school. They shouldn’t be IN these classes with minors.

his AP classes only have “one black student for every 30 students.” He described that ratio as “disgusting.”

What is the “ perfect” ratio, Mr. Hogg?

One Hogg per high school is too many.

Billy Joel knew about David Hogg 42 years ago:
