Applicants will receive no penalties for walkout-related suspensions
Ditching class wont hurt your chances of gaining admission to the college of your dreams and may even help as long as youre playing hooky in order to agitate for gun control.
More than 200 universities, including Harvard, Yale and MIT, have rushed to reassure applicants that they wont be penalized if theyre suspended or otherwise disciplined for participating in peaceful school walkouts spurred by the Feb. 14 mass shooting in Parkland, Florida.
Not only that, but some university officials have commended and encouraged would-be protesters, leaving the impression that those who take to the streets during school hours may be better positioned to win admission than those who obey the rules and attend class.
#ParklandStudentsSpeak College admission officers seek students who stand up for their beliefs. Weve got you on this side, tweeted Kirk Brennan, USC associate dean and director of undergraduate admissions.
Dartmouth urged students to speak your truth, saying the college applauds students expressions of belief, while Mount Holyoke declared that we support you fully as you lead peaceful demonstrations against gun violence.
You can be assured that peaceful, responsible protests against gun violence will not negatively impact decisions on admission to Brown, said the Brown admissions office.
Wake Forest president Nathan O. Hatch gave student protesters his blessing by tweeting, Prospective @WakeForest students protesting for change: We applaud your courage and would be proud to call you Demon Deacons.
The overwhelmingly pro-walkout sentiment from colleges threatens to undercut principals struggling to keep the classroom chaos to a minimum, not to mention parents worried about the safety issues associated with crowds of teens flooding the streets during the workday.

The college and university commie leftists are sinking their hooks into high school students defying high school administrations and parents.
Dint schools get funding from roll being taken in home room and then paid by how many showed up?
That’s the way it used to be, don’t know about it now.
My solution (if I was in charge)
Letter to Parents:
Dear Parents,
It appears the majority of students in the __________________ school system are determined to forgo all classes in an attempt to appease social media, therefore, all classes are suspended, and the school will be closed for the remainder of school year 2017/2018.
Schools will re-open in September, 2018, and students may return then with no advancement of grades or levels.
It is our sincere desire to continue this year, but the effort seems futile, and without parental cooperation in enticing these students to return to school, it is our only recourse.
Thanks.
One can easily identify the “students” who are not studying anything worthwhile in college by examining the clowns such as this.
I dont see the big deal. Give out Fs, rinse and repeat.
Seems the whole of the US government at all levels, and elite establishment are lined up against conservative, Constitutional values.
Support Free Republic, Folks!
Im sure they would do the same if they were protesting abortion clinics.
These ignorant kids are acting like vigilantes.
Higher education is becoming a joke. Waaaaay too much Democrat propaganda.
One age of stupids supporting another age of stupids.
Maybe it is time to bring back the draft so these pipsqueaks know what it means to have the right to bear arms to honor and defend our country and understand the meaning of sacrifice. But then, how do we know they would?
Many as the old saying goes “would sell their grandmother for a nickel”.
They are going to get a lot more of the behavior that they are rewarding.
I wonder if the little “Brown Shirt” sh*ts know that all leftists support the right to murder them before they were even born? Then again, I suppose at that age most H.S. and college libtards are already hardwired to see abortion (infanticide) a Constitutional “right” and would not see the irony anyway. The swirl of the toilet called America continues.
Yep, I think bringing back the draft would be good for the country and good for the younger generation.
“More than 200 universities, including Harvard, Yale and MIT, have rushed to reassure applicants that they wont be penalized if theyre suspended or otherwise disciplined for participating in peaceful school walkouts spurred by the Feb. 14 mass shooting in Parkland, Florida.”
OTOH, what makes these fascist snowflakes think they’ll be hired by any company? I wouldn’t hire a PhD wymen’s study turd to sweep the floors. Continue on, wimpy snowflakes.
I would love to see that happen, but because I know that it won’t, my instinct is to buy more ammo.
