Let the parents do that with them on their own time if that's what they wish to do, it's not for school. As far as the high school students, I don't support that either. It was organized by the women's march, not the students. And I agree with Maggot, it just gave most the kids an excuse to fuck off. Half of them probably jumped the fence and were out smoking cigarettes or vaping.
That's fine. I disagree with you and Maggot.
Since elementary children are undergoing active shooter drills just to go to school and now face having armed teachers in their classrooms, guns are already part of their educational experience.
And, if the parents of elementary school children want to take them to protests against gun violence, I think that's the parents' decision -- not your's or mine.
As for the #ENOUGH walk-outs, they were developed and organized by the students along with other organizations with a shared goal. You're wrong about the students not being organizers of the walk outs.
