Another wave of high school walkouts is expected as students honor victims of gun violence and push for gun control on the anniversary of the Columbine High School shooting.

Organizers say more than 2,600 demonstrations are planned from Maine to Hawaii to commemorate the 19th anniversary of the shooting that left 13 people dead in Littleton, Colorado.

Ahead of the walkout, a 'Vote for Our Lives' rally and vigil was held in Littleton to remember victims of high school shootings, including the one that took place in Parkland, Florida on February 14.

I think the extent of this “protest” is being exaggerated.

CNN back in March dedicated an entire article to a school in North Carolina where one student walked out. Literally one guy, and there was a whole article about him. I'm sure he was counted in the whole "X number of schools had students walk out" figure too.

I would say that the students are supporting a celebration of Hitler's birthday!

"A respectful gathering of students on the National Mall on this 20th of April, the 129th anniversary of Adolf Hitler's birth..."

or something like that. Keep emphasizing the link to Hitler. Most of them probably have little to no idea of who he was or what he did.

The media is promoting and cheerleading for this.

If not for the promotion, 99.9999% of students wouldn’t know or care.

Students who wish to walk out from classes my tax dollars have paid for should reimburse me.
