    The fact that Schools are gun free is what is so inviting to the deranged out to destroy life’s in school’s, if for no other reason they are safe to do it in Schools because they are gun free zones…..

    If that student is representing schools are not gun free zones , maybe that student needs a better education. Sigh!

  2. More Common Sense says:

    I’m just shaking my head. Their sign makes no sense to me. The White House is far from a gun free zone. The Secret Service agents are all armed and there are snipers on the roof at times. If every school had the security of the White House there would be no school shootings. Can you imagine the stampede of armed nut-jobs there would be if the White House became a gun free zone?

    Wouldn’t even matter which party, MCS, a nut jib is a nut job!

    The students needs to ask their parents, teachers, and administrators why their school isn’t as secure as the WH!!

    I guess I can cut them some slack since they’re still young skulls full of mush at this point in their lives.

  4. J. Soden says:

    Marches by teenagers waving signs only demonstrate that the teachers have been successful in indoctrinating rather than educating.
    And looking for ways to cut school is in the student DNA. Then they all get a participation trophy!
    School district in SC seems to have the right idea:

    Want to quickly improve our schools/colleges/universities? Just abolish tenure!

    Major teaching moment for them. Bet they learned more from the feedback on this picture than they did from their teachers and parents.

    Proof critical thinking isn’t being taught at our schools any more and common sense declines by the level of higher education achieved.

  6. Peggy says:

    IMO If he didn’t want to participate in the walkout his teacher should have stayed in the classroom with him. I’m pretty sure there were plenty of teachers with the students who did walkout.

    Ohio student suspended for staying in class during walkouts:

    “HILLIARD, Ohio – An Ohio high school student says he tried to remain nonpolitical during school walkouts over gun violence and was suspended for a day because he stayed in a classroom instead of joining protests or the alternative, a study hall.

    Hilliard senior Jacob Shoemaker says school isn’t the place for politics, and he wasn’t taking sides Wednesday.

    The district says it’s responsible for students’ safety and they can’t be unsupervised.

    Jacob’s citation for not following instructions was shared online by a friend, prompting a flood of messages to his father.

    Scott Shoemaker says some people thought his son was suspended for walking out, and angry comments accumulated, including some that mistook Scott for the principal. He says he also got a couple death threats and had to consider switching phone numbers.”

    Also this act taken against a teacher for doing her job.

    California teacher sent home after questioning double standard on school gun control protests:

    “A teacher in California was placed on paid administrative leave after questioning the politics behind the National School Walkout in a discussion with her students, KOVR-TV reported Wednesday night.

    What happened?
    Julianne Benzel, a history teacher at Rocklin High School in Rocklin, California, said she wanted to open up a dialogue in her class last Thursday and Friday about the politics of organized protests.

    Benzel wanted to discuss with her students the question of whether it’s appropriate for a school to support gun violence protests if it wouldn’t support other types of protests. But she said she never discouraged the students from taking part in the planned walkout.

    “And so I just kind of used the example, which I know it’s really controversial, but I know it was the best example I thought of at the time — a group of students nationwide, or even locally, decided ‘I want to walk out of school for 17 minutes’ and go in the quad area and protest abortion, would that be allowed by our administration?” Benzel asked.

    She said the administration didn’t talk to her about her lecture last week.

    What was the student reaction?
    Benzel said none of her students reacted negatively to her discussions, and they seemed to agree that there should not be a double standard for protests. One of her students, Nick Wade, even decided not to participate in the walkout as a result.

    “I feel like if we were to go to school and say something like I want to walk out maybe for abortion rights, then you know they probably wouldn’t let us because that’s more of a conservative push,” Wade told KOVR. “But someone wants to say let’s walk out for gun control then the school’s going to go with it because it’s more of a popular view.”
