  1. Remembering (very vaguely) my experience in high school and observing my children going through the ordeal, I have to say that I am very doubtful of the grassroots spontaneity of this student movement. The whole thing stinks of adult manipulation.

    I think if enough adults who supported protecting our schools had the ear of enough students, you would see similar results — Ok, you probably wouldn’t see it unless you were there, because it wouldn’t be covered by the media.

  2. Jimmy Carters gas shortage is one of my best memories of high school…..show up, wear a down jacket, sit in class until the teacher got cold, home by 10am…..3 weeks of generally f**cking off….

    The race thing…Junior high…..you should have seen the gym teachers seethe as they watched a bunch of 13 year old punks have a sit in and shut down the entire school. I went home early then too….LOLOLOL….

  3. Good on the Needville IPS superintendent! The Left has no right to use our public schools or any other tax-paid institution as a platform for their “Fundamentally Transforming America” agenda. They haven’t the right to abuse minors who haven’t the maturity or intellectual sophistication to know they are being used in the service of Leftist orthodoxy.

  4. I have to ask the question, every time one of these MSM nut jobs promote the “tougher” background checks, every time the young skulls full of mush say that we must do this to prevent the next school shooting, —-
    WHY oh WHY do we not say???
    “If you got everything you propose, would it have stopped Cruz?”

    This calls for TEACHING these children, not using them for political profit! But to the left anything is acceptable to advance their ideology, even the use and abuse of children.

    If better background checks would not have stopped the school shooting, then why is this the current meme?
    Why do we not ask these kids that question, make them think instead of simply reading the lines they have been told to say.
    Why do we not ask the talking heads the question as well, why do we surrender the narrative to their agenda? ASK THE QUESTION!

    “If you got everything you propose, would it have stopped Cruz?”
