I have a Tik Tok account. I don't make videos and rarely even react, but the algorithm realizes I'm mostly interested in travel, food, and dogs. It's not like I'm stalking some teenagers doing dance moves or vandalizing school bathrooms for clout. |
| TikTok isn't real life but you're wondering why you seeing stuff on TikTok but not in person. š |
Sure. Are you aware that it was forced on the kids? They were required to join. Big difference--or is FCPS encouraging/rewarding protests? That's kind of a problem. |
| I know, I know just because people want people to come into the country legally and that we want to deport the people who did not follow the rules to be deported. Apparently that makes us Hitler in 2026. The kids see this is crazy behavior (calling people hitler) and they don't side with the left because of it. |
You do know that tiktok is chinese propaganda and mostly bots, around 80% bots? |
āWhy arenāt the kids cool like the ones on Tik Tokā lol what a take. |
No, not at all. Donāt make things up and post them. Hereās what we received from our principal since there was talk of a walk out today: Per Regulation 2612, students are not permitted to stage a walk-out demonstration during the school day as this can disrupt instruction time and lead to safety and security concerns. Students who walk out to demonstrate during the school day will be marked as unexcused and could face disciplinary action in alignment with Regulation 2601 and the FCPS SR&R. Activities such as a walkout, are to occur before or after school to avoid instructional disruption. Student organizers must submit a written request at least five days in advance. The principal will meet with the organizers within three school days and issue a written decision within two school days. Administrators may also assign an alternative location to ensure safety. Any student demonstration at school that does not follow these procedures will not be approved and cannot happen |

There are local protests already outside of school, so the opportunities are there.
If the kids realize that the whole thing is theater (with real victims here and there) designed to just stir up the populace and set us even more against each other then they know they would be marching around outside in the cold for no good reason. Anyone with eyes wide open knows that there will be no mass deportations. Dems don't have to waste their time protesting it and Reps don't need to fight with their family members about it being reasonable for countries not to allow any ol' foreigner to come in just because they wanna. |

Lake Braddock sent out a huge, vague email as usual.

2020? Must have been in January or February (or early March). They didnāt go to school for the rest of 2020. |
| I think the lack of student protests in Virginia has really contributed to the Trump Adminās policies. Everyone was waiting to see what FCPS students would do, and then when they failed to speak up the Trump Admin went forward with its immigration enforcement priorities. |
| West Potomac high school principal is trying to block this. |
| My DS (9th grader) asked last night if it would be ok if he did a walkout, so I think the rumblings are starting this week. |
If China wants to send me videos on English Setters, Scottish landmarks, and the best new place to find coffee in the DC area, thatās fine with me. Better than having to hear about anything that Trump, a man baby who constantly throws tantrums and shits his own pants, is doing. As for the kids, if you think their sympathies are with ICE agents employing Gestapo tactics, you have been spending too much time at Turning Point conventions. |
Where my paycheck? I was in Minnesota visiting friends and attended a protest... |
