@cause-no-harm@cyberwarrior I'm down here in Florida, about 30 minutes from Parkland. I like what these kids are doing but at the same time I don't know that someone who is unable to maintain a clean room is capable of making good choices for the Country. My teenage sister in law participated in some protests and, from what I gather from her stories, most of the kids were looking for a 'like' on social media. They planned walk-outs that turned into sit-ins as they were guided by the school administration. The schools don't want to be liable for anyone getting hurt and don't want to encourage the protests because well, that would conflict with the school's agenda. When I asked several of the students what they thought about the sit-in and what they hoped to come from it, they said "We'll probably get a few tweets." Obviously this doesn't describe all teens involved here, but I did want to share this point of view from my experiences.
