When news of the Parkland school shooting first broke, it resonated with 17-year-old Naomi Giancola.
A junior at Midwood High School in Brooklyn, New York – some 1,200 miles away from Marjory Stoneman Douglas, the Florida high school where a gunman murdered 17 students and faculty on Feb. 14 – Giancola immediately thought the tragedy could have easily happened at her own school.
“It really hit home because I’m in high school. That could have been my school, that could have been my friends, that could have been me that was shot or running away,” Giancola told Fox News.
So along with 16-year-old Madeline Paterna, Giancola arranged for her school to participate in the National School Walkout, a protest led by students demanding action against gun violence, on March 14 – one month after the Parkland school shooting.
“It was really scary to think that could have been us, and I just wanted to do something because I don’t want it to happen again," Giancola said.

Exactly. As I just commented.
Well, it is spring break.
Me? I’d be on the beach in Lauderdale.

If parents are really concerned about their children’s safety, why aren’t they pulling their kids out of public screwl ? If politicians and talking are really concerned about school safety, bullying, and violence, why aren’t they urging parents to pull their kids out of public screwl.
Since the Parkland massacre, I haven’t heard one public spokesperson advocate pulling the kids out of public screwl as the ultimate response to school violence. If you really love your children as you profess, you will do whatever it takes, and this what it takes.
Saw one of these Useful Idiot kids on the morning news today. he was perfectly on talking points.
“I respect the Second Amendment. No one is going to take your guns away, but there’s no reason for people to own weapons of war.”
So, you respect a right by diminishing it? Respect it some more and it will be gone completely.
Okay.
Trump should issue an executive order cutting funds to any school that stops education to indulge in politics.
Apparently schools are going to be taking all kids out of class that day to accommodate the commie gun grabbers. You can sit an auditorium or a gymnasium but you won’t be getting any schoolwork done.
>>that could have been me that was shot or running away
I think the same thing when I see photos of Chinese Communists shooting prisoners, or Soviet Communists shooting prisoners, or National Socialists shooting prisoners, or Cuban Communists shooting prisoners.
Then, I listen to the words of Ta-Nehisi Coates or Nancy Pelosi and realize that we are not immune to that kind of collective thought—that the end justifies the means and the individual must be submissive to the will of the Collective.
I think, “that could be me getting shot and not being given the chance to run away.”
Note to stupid coddled children: my AR-15 is not for hunting. Molon Labe bitch!
This walkout will end school shootings for good.
I thought public schools lost federal money when students were absent.
Is there some trick for the schools to get paid anyway?
All I know is that if I were still in school, I’d be making sheep noises at the “walkers.” Young, useful idiots.
Not a lot of beautiful people at Lauderdale this spring break

My kids are on Spring Break ... no walkout for them. LOL
Even in those countries where semi-auto rifles are banned? What about in Norway where that guy shot down 87 kids on an island and is enjoying his prison life; twenty years for killing all those kids.
Obviously coordinated to bring the blame on the NRA instead of where it should be: on the public school system.
The progressives not only rely on the stupidity of the American people—the progressives actively stupefy the American people. I have seen Democrats lie and say dumb illogical things to people for close to fifty years. Obama...How sad that some people have an easier time getting their hands on a gun than on a book.... As if American kids do not have schools to attend. As if there are no books in the schools and in public libraries.
I hope OPE isn’t involved in this nonsense.
No trick. Attendance is taken at the start of school. After that, it doesn’t matter.
Our local high school has laid down the law that those choosing to skip school for this leftard wet dream will be doing detention time for same.
No different than ditching class to go swimming, etc.
