The three-week-old Israel-Hamas war has sparked protests by some high school students in Fairfax County, Virginia.
Students, with their principals’ permission, have been walking out of classes for brief rallies on school grounds.
Scores of students at Mount Vernon High School crowded the school’s main plaza at 1:30 p.m. Wednesday and spent a half-hour chanting and rallying for the Palestinian people, especially the children.
The students hoisted homemade signs and unfurled the Palestinian flag.
There was a similar student protest earlier in the day at Edison High School.
Other student rallies are expected Thursday at Woodson and Falls Church high schools and on Friday at McLean and Lake Braddock high schools.
The Left took over Fairfax County years ago. My daughter fought their school administration for years.

You’re right. Before the death of freedom of speech and freedom of the press alternative viewpoints were expressed once in a while (not predominantly, of course) but now anyone who sticks their head up risks getting it blown off by metaphoric snipers.
Do you like Trump? Question Covid and its jabs?
Support Israel against terrorist murders? Question man made climate change? Want freedom to buy a gas power car and run an air conditioner at home? Better keep all that totally quiet......
RE: As if any of them could even find Israel on a map.
Or find their own rear ends with a GPS, a flashlight, a map, and four friends shouting encouragement.
For undergrads I guess they can just keep their head down, stick to less political majors.
I feel sorry for people who are trying to build an academic career. They spend years, even decades, as and undergrad, then grad school, then PhD, then Post Doc, then getting a tenure track, then trying to get tenure.
You could be studying something like improving the fracture toughness of nickel-cobalt alloys, and all of a sudden you are part of the diversity and inclusion nonsense, even in the grant process, or for tenure, or even tenure track hiring.
True.
One story had a conservative at a university being questioned for tenure and refused. The man said to him privately I’m actually astonished you got to this level. Our policy is to sabotage and weed out any conservatives before we have to justify their all being denied tenure. But I’ll deny this if you try to tell anyone.
Also, let’s say someone wanted a career writing for magazines or being a regular on television. No one conservative has more than a tiny handful of chances for career advancement while woke types have hundreds of them.
I used to think about the old time Fox News people: if you lost this job where would you go next? MSNBC? PBS?
Like Bill O’Reilly it was unemployment and then a patched together life of podcasts, radio appearances and once a week hour on Glenn Beck on the radio. His books are too big to ignore but now there’s no Fox promotion work for him on his show any longer.
This is so true, and it has affected my career deeply.
Let me get this straight:
1) Palestinian murderers killed more than 1400 Israelis, mostly civilians including beheading and mutilation.
2) Palestinians abducted more than 200 innocent people.
3) Palestinians are protesting for HAMAS, a terrorist organization bent on killing all the Jews in Israel.
4) Students protesting for what exactly?
That is not surprising since that area of Virginia is crawling with anti-American foreigners just waiting to join a full-scale holy war against all Christian infidels standing in the way of their complete control of the culture. Just a matter of time, my friends.
Hmm. Someone needs to identify the teachers using children for their own agenda.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Heh. Probably be easier to identify the teachers who are not doing that.
What in the hell is wrong with these people? Who has f’ed them up this badly?
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Dare I suggest it, but perhaps we and many others need to take look in our own mirror.
Several factors: mommy and daddy, Harveywood, their indoctrination camps aka public schools, their teachers, the lamestream media and the whole demonrat party.

You missed one group: US!
It’s important to realize that this is a suburb of DC.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Absolutely, and a very large percentage of the residents there are employed by the Federal Government. Enemies of America, make no mistake about it!
That’s because they know the future for the left is pro Hamas, anti Israel and they don’t want to get on the wrong side of it.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
What these fools fail to perceive is that soon the barbarian knives will be at their own throats unless they become allies of the efforts of Islamic terrorists to destroy America.

You mean that 45 minutes of Sunday School is not enough to set them straight?
Biden voters?
yup
nits still make lice
The FedGov is the biggest employer in Northern Virginia, if not Virginia.
Virginia as a whole is more dependent on Federal spending than any other state in the country.
“As with slavery then, and as with Federal taxation now, Virginia continues her fine tradition of exploiting the fruits of other’s labor”.
Can Loudoun county be far behind?
