I feel sorry for these kids today. IT is pouring out here in stafford and they are all walking down Murphy Road. As for people saying these kids don’t know what the law says don’t under estimate kids. If their driving a car that means they are close enough to vote in the next election. They will be your equals according to the government in your right to voice your opinion. They have just as much right to say anything about how are government is run.
That’s exactly what I think. I guaranatee most of these kids have the same mindset most teenagers have: walk out = vacation day.
You want to arrest students for peacefully sticking up for a cause they feel passionate about? Wow.
No, I want them arrested for truancy not for protesting. They can protest to their heart’s content outside of school hours. As a former school-age person I recall to clearly how insignificant the things I felt “passionate about” really were.
I love the fact that people who have not seen these kids make assumations. Yes do I think some of these kids walked out to be cool and leave school…yea…but i also know the racial make-up of these schools makes sense to why these kids are protesting and when you see pictures or video’s it is not a bunch of white or black middle class kids running around. These are Mexican and Immigrant kids protesting.These are the people who are going to be effected by these laws. These are the the childern’s lives who can and might be torn apart. These kids are walking MILES in the rain…I don’t think those who don’t hold true to what the protest is about wouldn’t last that long and would probally bail out of the protest pretty earlier on.
Yes, the law says they should be in school. If they break the law they should be arrested, charged with a crime and given a trial.
Sickening, isn’t it. Some of us actually remember being school age.
At least 99.999999999% of them anyway
Whats sickening is that those of you who remember those years cant remember ever having been passionate about something, I think that speaks more about and individual than an age group. It took guts and courage because they will no doubt be punished, especially the teachers who are walking with them. Thats courage that some people dont have. Talk about conviction!Sickening, isn’t it. Some of us actually remember being school age.
At least 99.999999999% of them anyway
Really? You know what I can or can’t remember. Would you share with me what else you know I remember, please?
You are entitled to your opinion and I thank you for sharing it.
Yeah, it always took a lot of courage to walk out of school en mass when I was a kid…no wait…we protested after school when we knew we could get TV coverage. I remember now
As they should be.
From where I sit, these teachers should be fired for abandoning their classrooms.
Yeah, real courage is required to be a poor role model and advocate skipping class. Some conviction, indeed
The new mantra for the school age kids is now, “Skip school! Be uneducated! Demean any real impact your protest might have by skippin school! Don’t be responsible and lend your protest any credibilty by protesting on your own time!”
Same way you do
Yes.
Why not?
Why? What unseen or seen force is propelling them?
Wow, you know this because you are there with them protesting and making these posts from a blackberry?
C’est la France, Monsieur avec un F capital
