If they had any brains, they’d walk out protesting the $22 trillion in debt left by their parents, uncles, aunts, and teachers.

They are all planning on leaving the USA and moving to Venezuela to teach us all a lesson.

Red Guard forming.

Yes, sadly. They will soon be given bonuses and accolades for turning in parents and older neighbors who are recorded on their cell phones as stating non-revolutionary, non-climate change positive views. Can turn in parents' MAGA hats for extra bonus money and a free gaming chair. They deserve the gulag anyway for praising Trump.

Is this like the gun walkout bs? Teachers told the students they could take a walk outside...not political. Bull crap! The kids went outside because they were told they could, not for any other reason! They were pawns for the news media to get simultaneous helicopter footage of a nationwide “walkout”. It is dusgusting propaganda.

In class or outta class, makes no difference in the end. They graduate unable to spell or to balance a check book either way. Then find their way to the nearest government teat.

When my oldest son was in 4th grade in 2015, the teacher sent home a worksheet with him to do as homework. We were to list of all the things we were going to do on Earth Day.

I wrote on it,

“We do not celebrate the birthday of Communists.
The Communist mass murderer Lenin was born April 22, 1870, and the first Earth Day was on the 100th anniversary in 1970. Gaylord Nelson was a communist, and the murderer Ira Einhorn was also a communist and deeply involved in Earth Day. No Thanks”

I received a note back from the teacher who was obviously disgusted that said it was an exercise to “raise awareness” to which I responded that “I am quite aware of the origins of Earth day and oppose it for the reasons stated and will not be participating”

all the little children should pack their backpacks and envirowacko parents and keep walking right on down to points very very south before they freeze to death from climate change and rising seas in America, which seems to be the only country set for extinction in 12 years. We’ll keep the lights on.

Look let the kids have their little protests

Now of course the planet doesn’t care at all whether were here or not here and a couple volcanoes and we’re all over anyway

but hey let them strive for something and defend something and believe in something it’s fine

Maybe they’re going to a Planned Parenthood Survivors Meeting.

Will a pied piper be leading them?

And what happens to the students that don’t wish to participate in the protest?

Yet, Pelosi and some others want to give the right to vote to 16 year olds, whose brains haven’t matured. Idiocy!

Announce the pop quiz BEFORE the kids walk out and say it will count for 15% of the class grade.

Because the teachers are promoting it.

If they lower the voting age to 16, teachers will no doubt urge their students to vote for the rat de jour in order to receive an A for that day.

The same can be said for most 18 year olds.

Give them all F’s for the day. If a HS kid doesn’t show up, charge the parents for the loss of State money to the school besides the F grades. Charge them with skipping school too. They are jailing/fining parents of delenquicies now.

Might as well go do some looting while you are enjoying a day off.
