Nothing closed here yet in CNY but certainly expecting it.
Crickets! ( as usual) It's “go along” and “get along” and pickup retirement benefits in the end.
Sue the school districts. These students are supposed to be in class, not raising hell for seditionists.
Flat out if I had a school aged child they would be in school
They should all be suspended and forced to goto summer school after 12 th grade to graduate late
Thanks for that post, I needed that.Horrible people.
My daughter’s school district is on spring break. Gotta love the timing.
But, of course!
This isn’t some Bake Sale organized by kids to raise money for a Class Trip...
This is flat-out Leftist Anarchy!
Wow. I never even thought of that! I wouldn’t put it past them. :(
So much of, ‘Useful Idiots’ lives are orchestrated. :(
“Some schools are permitting students to “opt out” of the walk out but they must still walk out of their classes and “wait” in the gym or auditorium until the activist protest is over.”
Link please.
It has been discussed in numerous posts on threads on this topic. Here is one “for instance”

6.) How can schools accommodate students who don’t participate and/or don’t agree with the politics behind the walkouts?
Some districts where events are planned are also making it clear that students can opt out. In Allegany County, Md., students and staff members who don’t want to take part can spend time in school libraries engaged in alternative activities.

Meanwhile, school officials with Chesterfield County Schools in Virginia have said their students can either hold a student-led memorial service for the victims of the Parkland shooting or hold a student-led assembly about school safety, CNN affiliate WTVR reported.
Not surprising. The previous “marches”, including the “Moms Demand Action” group, utterly failed. Time to use children as stage props.
Once again, we’re forced to pay for
something we don’t want. What would
happen if I refused to pay my fair
share of school taxes for the year?
I don’t have any kids in school any
longer. This walkout sounds like
misappropriation of funds to me.
“...and allowing school buses to transport kids to and from gun control rallies.”
Discussion I just saw on TV says it is only a 17 minute walkout, couldn’t really be bussed anywhere in that time.
Sorry my FRiends, the United States of America that we have all known and loved our entire lives is in its death throes.
Just wait until the Left regains power. You ain’t seen nothing yet.
I don’t want to hear that most People in this Country are Conservative, they’re not.
I don’t want to hear that the reason the DemoncRats are winning Elections in Red Districts is Voter Fraud, it isn’t.
We are heading towards a defining moment in History. The Election of POTUS Trump may end up being nothing more than delaying the inevitable.
I feel for those of you with Grandchildren. They will never know what it’s like to live in a truly Free Country like we had the fortune of experiencing.
I will continue to hope that sanity will take hold, but with each passing day it seems less likely.
We should listen to the poignant voices of our precious youth, who are often wiser than we are and something needs to be done for them-the chiiiiiildren!
There ends my sarcastic rant. This really is being condoned by faculty and one school in my fair town IS actually bussing students to a downtown location for a march.
I will not reveal the name of the high school because I am letting my daughter stay home tomorrow for her safety and because she doesn't want to be used as a pawn by those morons.
Side note: a couple of days ago there was a mini riot a block or two away from school. 15-20 students raising a ruckus and one kid pulled out a gun.
Anything like this walkout just causes all sorts of chaos and near rioting and my daughter doesn't want to be around it.
I think you are 100% correct.
Sadly.......
Yep. Had to explain it to my kids. It’s not about safer schools ... it’s about gun control. But mine are on Spring Break this week so anyway.
Been thinking the same thing.
They meant the cost of busing kids to future events as this event seems to set a new bar.
