My daughter came home from school today and said "if things go like I think they are going to go I will be skipping school on March 14th". So of course I asked why and she tells me that the principal has allowed a protest petition to be circulated and committed to the students by public announcement that if sufficient signatures are gained they will be allowed to leave school in protest. The part that has my daughter upset is that they have also said that no one will be allowed to stay in the building so even though she disagrees it will look like she approves. All under the guise of "School Rights" whatever that is. I told her if she has to skip she will get no argument from me (at this point I could derail into a topic about participation trophies and how real protest is a sacrifice and sacrifice hurts so getting permission to protest is ridiculous but I won't say more than that).

I don't really care what the topic is, school administrators shouldn't be suborning disobedience civil or otherwise they should be focusing on teaching the kids useful things like math English and science. I haven't spoken to the school yet but my feeling is that this is a thinly veiled anti 2nd amendment effort being organized by adults at the school with just enough student participation to give plausible deniability.

When I told another parent who is also an avid gun guy he said he'd write the letters blah blah but he asked how do we take this to the next level. Letter just get ignored, what can we do to push back on this to really defend ourselves? I have no idea so I'm just going with a sternly worded note but I'm open to other ideas (legal ideas only please).
 
My daughter said the same thing is planned at her school. Ridiculous
 
I hope they have to take a "snow day" and make it up on a Saturday. That would be unfair for your daughter but would teach her a bitter but useful lesson about liberals, mob mentality, and school officials.

edit: I wonder how many of those deep thinking students will go home and take the Tide Pod Challenge or sit on some ice sprinkled with salt?

My daughter said the teachers who participate should be reprimanded and the students should get in school suspended. I say fire and expel all of the idiots. She doesn't want to leave, just wants to learn.
 
They are hiding it by saying they are standing with the FL school but we all know what it is really about. Using kids as pawns for a national student protest against guns, even if they don't want to participate. That is what the media will show.

With the major caveat that I haven't spoken to the principal yet, I was kind of hoping you'd come with me and hold forth a demonstration of dog cussing the likes of which our fair city has never experienced.
As Big Twig says it's a "School Rights" "Stand with FL" "School Safety" protest which is all code for take the guns. I happen to be neighbors and friends with a school board member. I just finished writing him a message. I'd love to know how to organize a counter protest with 50 bus loads of astro-turf the way the libs do.
 
Not heard a peep about it at mine.
 
They're doing it at Reagan High School in Pfafftown, too. My daughter said they're standing with FL and supporting the victims. I mentioned that she's just a pawn for the anti-gun movement, but she said it's free time out of class, so she doesn't care what it is about.
 
The indoctrination of the kids in school continues. Thank you all who are involved with your kids education but unfortunately I met many that just call the indoctrination: ”kids life experience”.

Yup and here's the current “Poster CHILD” speaking like a Very Seasoned Politician.

It's the same line of thought that got The General Lee banned at Wally World, civil war statues being taken down, and all other changes that make them “Feel Good” because this crowd doesn't have full knowledge or control of the “Real Facts.”


 
Why doesn't someone, anyone stand up to the school board and say that if schools are allowed to endorse this walk out the principals are derelict in their duties and should be disciplined??
It's an injustice and YOU know about it, you know when it's going to happen (March 14th) and where. All the big talk that takes place on this forum is obviously nothing but hot, empty air....

Exactly. As @BatteryOaksBilly brought up before, a good friend of ours will say,"What will have to happen before you do something?"

I had a 30 minute conversation with mine last night when I asked him what he learned in school today (I ask him that every day) and he told me "I learned the North had to fight the South to free all of the slaves."
 
Here is an idea you spoiled little butt gremlins: When you see a kid being ostracized, step in and say something. You see a kid being bullied, do more than hold a "anti-bully day!". Hold a walk to bring attention to your lack of attention to the care and support you give one another in school. Hold a walk to stand up to administrations that sweep behavior problems under the rug. Hold a rally to demand that parents be held accountable for the actions of their little demons. Demand that parents stop letting "someone else" deal with their kids problems. Hold a walk against treating every possible behavioral oddity with a massive dosing of pharmaceuticals that turn people into zombies.

But no...we will hold a walk that draws attention away from any real problem we may be facing and blame inanimate objects because "it makes us feel good." You know what makes me feel good? Ice cream. Ice Cream, BBQ, the smell of burned gunpowder, that gentle ache in a shoulder after a great day at the range, sitting on the couch with my babies as they cuddle and watch cartoons...those make me feel good, but I am not out marching because I want to "Feel good".

The victors write the history books, and they always write themselves in as the morally superior party.

Opportunity to teach at the next PTA if not before for propagating made up crap.
Me, whenever I hear that comment it is always quick: the northerners had enough money to buy every slave and free them but they didn't. So, the war that killed over 600,000 was not about freeing the slaves - was it?

I took the long approach. Started with the exportation taxes and the fight for control in the house then followed that up with states rights and the Mason Dixon line argument. Made sure to mention there were slaves in the north and the money they made importing and selling them.

I made sure he undersroood the disparity between industrial northern. States and agricultural states in the south with the raping of natural resources through legislation. Made sure he understood the 10th amendment and the violations that were occurring.

Then I brought up the date that uncle toms cabin was written and how the north was losing the war. They used that fictional book as a way to bolster donations to the war effort and get recruits.

And finished it all with why the emancipation was given and what it actually did.
 
I wish I could be good at making memes.

It would be the joker, and say something about abortions and no one bats an eye. Someone gets shot everyone looses their mind.

But wait no one talk about the violence in places like NYC, Detroit, Boston, (pick a city in) California.

STFU.
 
Simple teens have a plan and a country wide date to protest yet gun owners sit back and watch. Why- because they feel it being too much of a burden and expect a NRA donation the easy way out. The day of others in small numbers working gun owners causes has most likely passed. I’ll state what I said again in another thread. We are one election cycle away from major gun reform.

Well, that would be a valid argument is all gun owners happened to all work in the same buildings and could do such things. Just so happens that, unlike these teens, if I get up and walk out on he 14th Ill be by myself in a parking lot. If I am gone too long, I may be fired. See, unlike these 17 year olds, I have a mythical "job" that I am responsible for. Mainly because my family enjoys having a home and food. You know, those pesky things that are most often 100% provided for free to these brave teens.

Its easy to be a "freedom fighter" when you have no ramifications for your behaviors. Start throwing some detention and suspensions at these kids, like they will face in the real world, and we will see how many run out in the streets. As it is, the majority of them are more than likely excited just to get to skip class....specifically because we have heard them say such.

I did, I read that you're asking for suggestions on how to handle the proposed situation. Didn't see anywhere where there was a plan outlined and ready to implement. Did I miss it??

I just took it that you didn't read because I'd already said that I would and followed up that I did contact the school board via my friend on the board. I realize this isn't the same as going to a meeting but it was the best I could do at the time, particularly since there hasn't been a meeting in the 20 or so hours since we heard about this. You're right that there has been a dearth of other ideas but I did kind of hamstring the guys by saying keep it legal. Although I've made some other contacts about this, my daughter expressed concern about reprisals should she be outed as having something to do with getting the protest stopped so I'm trying to keep my part of this thread as free of identifying info as possible.

Not if you let me know when and where..... there'll be 2 of us standing in the empty parking lot..... Isn't 2 a crowd?? Hell, one more and we'll be a mob!! 2 pocket knives and we'll be an ARMED mob....
 
My daughter just told me there are 2 protests planned. I informed her that she will not be participatimg. She gave me a dirty look and said, "of course I won't. I don't hang out with those people."

Good girl. She was offended I'd even think she might consider it.

I don't believe for a minute that it is just "simple teens with a plan". There is major organization and money behind these kids.
