Completely agree. |
They want what any protestors want - a voice. What is the point of any public protest, any march? The point is to be heard. They want it to be known that they are opposed to this "person" the electoral college elected to be POTUS. |
Completely disagree. Teenagers feel things just as deeply as, and perhaps more deeply than we adults do. |
How did it disrupt the education of those that didn't participate? They left the building. |
I'd say get over it. That's life. As much as I hate Trump as our next President, he is our next President. We have to honor the system whether we like it or not. |
No. How about we just start with Trump supporters stop putting "White Only" signs up in Silver Spring. http://wjla.com/news/local/montgomery-county-church-vandalized-with-racist-pro-trump-writing |
Sorry, that is not how politics works. People can affect change even with a president you did not elect. You can protest to voice your opinion on matters that are being considered and it can change the viewpoint of others. Every single lobbyist in DC is getting ready to pay their way for whatever they want. That is how it works. |
School can't condone it. Then every student could 'protest' whatever they want. I agree that the majority of these kids were just trying to get out of school.

The vast majority of teenagers are also completely uninformed about politics. Feeling things deeply has nothing to do with it. |
Yes, I agree. Your post is nauseating enough to change my point of view. Lobbyists buy their way for whatever they want regardless who wins the election. They always have, always will. |
Did you hear the interviews on wtop with the kids saying they just eanted to get out of class?
Also, all these people who are traumatized by the election, what did you do or your kid do to help hillary win? |
They'll get a voice when they turn 18 and can vote. |
Low performing schools |
Attending this protest would be seen as a point in their favor at many collleges. |
You realize there are other ways to "have a voice" than to vote... or maybe you don't. |
