Agree. I saw them as I was driving by and tears came to my eyes. My dd participated and guesses 75% of students did based on what teachers said. I watched the videos and this was not kids cutting class.

Thank you so much for sharing this IG link. Got me teary-eyed as well. I’m so proud of these kids for standing up for what’s right.

Kids holding posters F*uck Ice? Are you proud of such language?

They are speaking to the POTUS in the only type of language he understands. Savvy.

Then you are not different from Maga, just on the other side of the spectrum.
I really hope we have a leader that will unite rather than polarize the population. All the left and right extremists can continue fighting each other and leave us normal people alone. Im so sorry for the kids that are brainwashed on both sides. So sad that this country is falling apart

Explain to me what behavior demonstrated by these students would qualify as being brainwashed? Do we need to brainwash a teenager into feeling that denying citizens and non-citizens their due process rights is unconstitutional? Do we need to brainwash them into understanding that a badge doesn’t give someone the right to execute a person without a trial? These seem like common sense arguments and strong American values to me. But what do I know? I am just a Marine who spent 8 years fighting for and defending this US Constitution.

School is for education not for activism. My workplace won't allow political discussion. How is school different from workplace? They are supposed to get fundamental knowledge. Politics belong to elsewhere.

Kids had 5 days off due to snow + 2 days with 2 hours delay and then they decide to walk out? How is that smart?

I'd be more impressed if they did it before, after school or weekends on their own time vs. during school to skip class. Our kids teacher made it clear, it was a no at another school.

The point of protest is to disrupt the status quo....doing protests in a way that optimizes for minimal disruption and inconvenience is literally the opposite point of doing protest.

So nobody had to pass NSL Gov but me? How are this many grown people unaware of how our democracy works?

If student organizers approached school administrators and recieved permission I see no problems with a student walk out. As a matter of fact, I encourage it as a valuable lesson in civics and 1st Amendment rights. Approval of such events does not automatically mean endorsement so I wouldn’t think much of the “school sponsored politics” angle.

Will you be ok if MAGA supporting students walk out? Politics do not belong in schools. Do not brainwash the kids (i neither dem or rep)

I wish MAGA supporting kids would self-identify this way so we could ostracize them for hating America and everything it stands for.

I am. More of this please.

Also, arm them and use ICE photos as target practice.

Children show learn how to read and write and understand the meaning of what they read first. This is not happening in MCPS.

That's not really disrupting anything and disrespectful to teachers. I'm not ok with my children missing class time to protect for a protect no one is going to see. Do a real protest, outside of school.

I assure you that the proficiency problems you're pretending to be concerned are not pronounced at B-CC HS. Now if it was Springbrook, Paint Branch, Gaithersburg or Watkins Mill, then yes. But even still, that wouldn't negate their right to protest. Even illiterate and innumerate people have the right to protest.

Sad but true! Best way to fight this is through education.

I am a big ACAB guy but even I draw the line at explaining violent rhetoric to students. I'm perfectly fine with them coming to their own set of opinions and beliefs. I'm not teaching kids to develop the same mindset it took 30-40 years for me to develop. They can do that on their own.

Keep dreaming if you think all BCC kids are up to grade level.

I can't understand your message. Try rewriting it so that it's intelligible.

Also, you're free to have your kid sit out any protests they don't want to participate in. That doesn't give you the right to invalidate other students' choices and rights.

Some of us are worried our kids will be taken by ice. We got bigger problems than worrying about you wearing a sticker.

Those populations need to understand their rights more than anyone else in the county as they are the one's the data shows will fall victim to unjust policing policies and loss of due process rights.

My god. Your reading comprehension skills are cooked. I never said "all BCC kids are up to grade level," I said the "proficiency problems are not as pronounced at B-CC" and it's true. Compared to the other high schools I cited, they aren't.
