Kanil 519 Posted February 20, 2018 I know whenever we walked out in protest of something, I only did it to get out of class. Maybe a few of the people organizing it cared about the cause but most of us just wanted to go home. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike Honcho 4,034 Posted February 20, 2018 Whatever the punishment the school has for such an occurrence. At my HS, you skipped school unexcused, it was a day of in-school suspension. To me that was the absolute worst, 8 hours of quiet time in a room off of the principal's office, only allowed to bring in school books. Of course it just made me more resourceful in making sure my absences were excused. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Strike 3,975 Posted February 20, 2018 Apparently the correct answer is to give them free passes and bus rides to the protests: http://www.tallahassee.com/story/news/2018/02/19/lcs-allow-excused-absences-wednesday-its-students-join-stoneman-douglas-rally/351538002/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Voltaire 4,559 Posted February 21, 2018 Axholes That's what I was thinking. But since I grew up in civilization, just north of Eight Mile in Macomb County, I couldn't say. I didn't venture south of Eight Mile very often. Too many axholes there causing too many bullet holes. It was a Black Lives Matter wet dream city run by a mayor who loves murders, thieves, arsonists, and drug dealers and who also hated the cops because they were racists.

RaiderHaters Revenge 3,584 Posted February 21, 2018 So do the kids have any other forum to use to voice their feelings (which are FEAR), other than to join together to draw attention? yes, quit pushing false narratives that they are all going to die, yes it will happen again, but their protests do nothing, their fear brings out more wackos quit publicizing the killer for a start, dont let the killers name be known Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
titans&bucs&bearsohmy! 2,745 Posted February 21, 2018 If my kid felt strongly about the cause, Id buy a Kevlar vest and tell him to wear that to school to make his point. If he was just taking advantage of a chance at a day off, Id tell him to quit being a doosh and go to class. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Imagine the number of protests we have seen in the last 10 years, again accomplishes nothing That article doesnt say that those are the ONLY protests that worked. There have been many many protests that have worked. There were protests about sweat shop conditions in the early 1900s that brought about change. They were going to build a super highway through lower Manhattan that would have wiped out neighborhoods like Soho that was stopped and canceled by protesters. I have read of people protesting strip clubs in their neighborhoods and getting them shutdown. A few years ago I remember there was a protest against Applebees because they discriminated against public breastfeeding. Applebee changed their policy. Sam Adams, MLK and Gandhi all brought about historic changes with protests. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sho Nuff 719 Posted February 21, 2018 Kids were talking about this on the way to school today. Was supposedly going to be a walk out at 10am...have not heard if it happened or not. Guessing with middle school kids it was mostly talk and with rain today they wouldn't. also, after a bomb threat on the school and what happened at their school Friday...not sure they would. What I told them...if they do it...do it because its something you believe in and understand. And realize that there are consequences for your actions. Be prepared to deal with the school consequences and that of your parents. My son asked me what I would do if he got suspended for walking out or disciplined for walking out. I told him Id ask him why he did it...if he could explain that he understood why and had a sound reason...what the school would do would be punishment enough. If he didn't understand and was just doing it because friends were...then my wife and I would be doling out our own punishment as well. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hardcore troubadour 12,647 Posted February 21, 2018 Because nothing bad can happen at a private school? Yes. That's exactly right. Nothing ever bad happens in a private school. Some bad things happen in the suburbs, but it's still safer than the ghetto. Understand now? And besides, it's not just about safety. It's also about the sick society I mentioned.
