ENOUGH: National School Walkout
actionnetwork ^ | none listed | Anonymous Far-Left Thug

Posted on 03/14/2018 3:15:28 AM PDT by Pollster1

Women’s March Youth EMPOWER is calling for students, teachers, school administrators, parents and allies to take part in a #NationalSchoolWalkout for 17 minutes at 10am across every time zone on March 14, 2018 to protest Congress’ inaction to do more than tweet thoughts and prayers in response to the gun violence plaguing our schools and neighborhoods. We need action. Students and allies are organizing the national school walkout to demand Congress pass legislation to keep us safe from gun violence at our schools, on our streets and in our homes and places of worship.

Students and staff have the right to teach and learn in an environment free from the worry of being gunned down in their classrooms or on their way home from school.

Parents have the right to send their kids to school in the mornings and see them home alive at the end of the day.

We are not safe at school. We are not safe in our cities and towns. Congress must take meaningful action to keep us safe and pass federal gun reform legislation that address the public health crisis of gun violence. We want Congress to pay attention and take note: many of us will vote this November and many others will join in 2020.

Join us in saying #ENOUGH! Sponsored by Default_group_icon Women's March Network

[From their "host an event" link:]

DEMAND CONGRESS:

+ Ban Assault Weapons Ban and High Capacity Magazines

+ Expand Background Checks to All Gun Sales

+ Pass Federal Gun Violence Restraining Order Law

+ Fund government research on gun violence

+ Promote Safe Storage

I seriously wonder if the hand that's community organizing all of this would take it to the next level....violent, government-toppling revolution, if a situation heats up.

You can stop wondering- this is just the baby step (so to speak). Locally, the usual gang of very militant lefties are in on this, as is the closest mosque.

WHAT HAPPENED AT THE PARKLAND SCHOOL BLAME GUNS NOT
PREVIOUS ONAMA ADMINISTRATION POLICY FAILURES

EXPOSING THEM MUST BE FORBIDDEN

The inability to counter this perverted (they call progressive) agenda created by the democratic party ( in name only) has its goose stepping adherents in the media left make it up as guns and the NRA garbage through their swill mills. When it should be contested by GOP state and federal legislators who should be demanding investigative hearings exposing policy failures

DON’T MENTION THIS
Besides examining the conduct ( cops told not to enter other dept called and does those cops disciplined because they did) and arrangements of the Broward County Sheriff’s Dept made with this school district performance failures due to policy. A dramatic reduction in disciplinary incidents at Parkland were reported after the selection of Obama’s Chicago friend as school superintendent occurred which was publicly acclaimed.

Because that school district was receiving large grant money from Obama’s Attorney General because of those results. That many critics claimed encouraged criminal activity. Which should require Trump Administration US Attorney General beside finding out why when the FBI knew that Cruz (the shooter) who should not been able to purchase weapons did. Also review those grant programs instituted by the previous Obama administration.

Dear kids:

The government and police cannot/do not keep you safe. They only catch and prosecute bad guys after the event.

YOU keep you safe.

And, of much greater danger to you all are accidents (watch this, Grand Canyon selfies, distracted & drunk diving, etc.), suicide, getting shot in the city by thugs, drugs and alcohol, and cancer.

Of course, you have to not be aborted by your mom to be here in the first place, right?

Life 101 classes are desperately needed today.

We need to walk out of our jobs and demand that Congress:

1. Ban liberals from society along with their books and materials that influence people for evil.

2. Perform background investigations to see which liberals are breaking the law on a continual basis.

3. Pass a Federal Law to keep liberals 1 mile away from ANY educational institution.

4. Shut down government research on why donkeys have sex.

Promote safe storage in prison of leftist liberals advocating violence for their cause.

Are we to assume by this statement that all other violence is okay? That only that which occurs with a gun needs more laws? Is there any explanation how additional laws to all those we already have will stop terrorist, criminals and the mentally ill from continuing to violate those laws?

I don't doubt those things. We were told as much a century+ ago:

Abolition [Aufhebung] of the family! Even the most radical flare up at this infamous proposal of the Communists.

On what foundation is the present family, the bourgeois family, based? On capital, on private gain. In its completely developed form, this family exists only among the bourgeoisie. But this state of things finds its complement in the practical absence of the family among the proletarians, and in public prostitution.

The bourgeois family will vanish as a matter of course when its complement vanishes, and both will vanish with the vanishing of capital.

Do you charge us with wanting to stop the exploitation of children by their parents? To this crime we plead guilty.

But, you say, we destroy the most hallowed of relations, when we replace home education by social.

And your education! Is not that also social, and determined by the social conditions under which you educate, by the intervention direct or indirect, of society, by means of schools? The Communists have not invented the intervention of society in education; they do but seek to alter the character of that intervention, and to rescue education from the influence of the ruling class.

The bourgeois clap-trap about the family and education, about the hallowed co-relation of parents and child, becomes all the more disgusting, the more, by the action of Modern Industry, all the family ties among the proletarians are torn asunder, and their children transformed into simple articles of commerce and instruments of labour.

But that doesn't change the fact that many kids see this as nothing more than a way to get out of a test or project or something. There are MANY cases where kids have pulled fire alarms to avoid this or that. Thus, the kids MAY talk about guns etc., but for most this is a free day off.

Today’s walkout may not happen in many New England schools because many districts cancelled school for today during yesterday’s snowstorm even though the sun is out and the roads are probably fine. Maybe the kids will hold a ceremony at the shopping mall instead.

The snow date is April 20. They will walkout then, and corrupt school officials will enable/encourage it.

No one better be doing this at our school. My boys have guns, recognize value of CCW and guns everywhere. I worry that some teacher or principal will try and take them out this morning, it will not be forgiven.

Will be writing principal to ensure they do not go.
