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.
That’s why I pinged you, dear.
This is their marching on Selma
Ask 10 of them basic questions about Israel and Palestine, and at least 9 of them will have no clue.
“Students, with their principals’ permission, have been walking out of classes for brief rallies on school grounds.”
So brief Trump rallies would be okay, too. Right?

I’m sure their teachers didn’t have anything to do with it.
Our schools have gone into full failure mode.
In other times you just cut class so you could mess around. Today you just tell the school you’re going to a protest and you’re not counted absent. 🙄
“...the barbarian knives will be at their own throats unless they become allies of the efforts of Islamic terrorists to destroy America. “
There is no reason to believe they would be unhappy about that. The only thing they worry about is losing their positions in elite institutions.
And right now, more and more left is the way to protect your position in Leftist dominated institutions (which is now every major institution in the country).
No-one gets cancelled for being too far left.
