Planned walkout? Thoughts?

As an immigrant you can become undocumented tomorrow if this administration decides to do so. Which they have. Ukrainian, Haitian, Venezuelan refugees all had their status revoked. They are talking about denaturalizing citizens and “re-migration. Wake the hell up; you are next on their list. You can’t even write in English properly, you think they think you are one of the good ones so you are safe?

How about an Irish guy with a valid work permit who was held for 5 months for no reason?

Inform your boss you are heading down to the Washington Monument for X amt of time. Maybe you have a big meeting, but too bad because “the cause” is more important. Your boss would tell you to do it on your own time.

My DS participated in a walkout recently. It took about an hour and had no impact on his assignments. He’s a good student and it was something he wanted to participate in. I did not think too much about it.

But, it was a lesson on its own that I ultimately thought was valuable. First, there was press. He realized that he didn’t like that at all. None of the published pictures included him but now he knows that this is a possibility and he can choose to avoid it. Second, he thought the walkout was about a narrowly focused topic. That was the messaging. It turned out to be more than he had expected and probably lead by one of those special interest groups that a PP posted up thread. He thought it was a bait and switch.

So sure, that hour didn’t teach him anything academic but it taught him other valuable lessons. I’m fine with the trade off.

Seems like a good use of those Covid masks we have left

Please name the schools doing these?

Teens will do anything to get out of class. You could say you were protesting the snow and they would go......

This is the teens being pawns of the adults.

So it makes sense to say you won’t be punished with discipline for exercising your right to walk out, but if it costs you a test grade or an assignment, that was what you sacrificed to make the point. And then let the kids decide how they choose to voice their opinion. But it costing something IS the point of a protest, or did you think it was convenient for everyone to walk to work during the Montgomery Bus Boycott?

Really, the point is sacrifice? I thought the point of protests was to call attention to an issue and effect change.
In your bus boycott example, people were protesting something unfair directly related to what they were boycotting (seating on the buses). Are these kids protesting something unfair happening in their high school? That would make sense. But leaving class to protest the federal government doesn’t really make sense.

I disagree in part. Teens feel passionate about things. While some of them may be joining to get out of class or out of curiosity, don’t discount the kids who have opinions and want to exercise their ability to protest. The topic doesn’t matter here. A 16 year old is capable of wanting t do these things.

As for being pawns, I also agree in part. But that goes for all of us, not teens specifically.

I think most of the schools in PGCPS had protests this week or will have.
I know that Northwestern, Flowers and High Point had them already and that Largo and ERHS will have one on Friday.

I disagree. I follow a lot of my teen’s friends on IG (only if they follow me first) and many of them post politically minded stories all year. They aware and passionate. So this might just be my kid’s friend group, but I don’t think it’s as uncommon as you think it is.

A lot of these kids see ICE in their neighborhoods, know people have been detained or deported.
There is something special about peers getting together and publicly saying what is happening to you is wrong and we are here to support you.

There are also a lot of youth from immigrant families who DO NOT participate in these walk-outs. We support detaining and deporting illegal immigrants. The fact that the US has not forced its laws for decades doesn't mean that it's free for all. We all went through years of waiting, separation, spent a lot of money, had medical tests etc. etc. and never got public assistance. Do not for a second start imagining to yourself that all immigrants support these walk-outs. These are organized by liberals. It's the biggest mistake that you made. You cannot brainwash us with your sob stories. It's over for illegals. I enjoy confronting all the white liberal women living in a cuckoo-land who think they're on some kind of crusade.

Oh shut up you POS. Seriously shut up you Anti American idiot.

1. Due Process is a thing
2. Illegals in this country bring in billions of $ to our economy and do jobs no one else wants to do. They are the backbone of how we get food you fool.
3. Brainwash are you kidding. You literally support a pedofile that raped kids like 9,10,11,12, 13 years old what is wrong with you? Trump is a felon,you are good with stealing from sick kids with cancer. The anti american shit is stealing taxpayer monies by the Billions daily you support this crap. You support killing americans who are protesting under their right under the Constitution go F yourself.
4. Stephen Miller is a god dammed liar all day every day.
5.The CONSTITUTION OF THE US AND OUR COURTS ARE THE LAW OF THIS LAND NOT TRUMP OR HIS SYCHOPHANTS.

I'm not going to wrestle with you in the mud, but want to point out the repeated lie that illegals bring in BILLIONS. Think about it. If that was the case, countries would be lining up to get you. In reality, even your home countries don't want you. What really happens is this: sneak over the border, pop out some kids, this entitles you to sign up to every social program (food, housing, medical) that exists, you work under the table and send money abroad (remittances info is readily available). You're a significant drain on all the resources, not only monetary, but also physical (schools, hospitals etc.). What's absurd is that instead of being thankful for all the resources that have been given to you, it's not enough! You want more! Now you have rights to get them! Now whomever is not giving you taxpayer money and free stuff, is the culprit. You're the victim here! You fly a foreign flag, demand stuff, and are the victim!

DP.

This isn’t an opinion. It’s data.

What exactly do you contribute? It’s obviously not brainpower.

If any child of mine skipped classes, was tardy, or otherwise avoidably absent, for any reason, they would suffer adverse consequences. Their job is to attend school, learn, and study.

Well don't send your kids then if you have any

We don't care

A school where we live closed the day of the protest due to inadequate staffing. I heard of others around the country doing the same. I don’t think a *teacher* walking out is protected under the First Amendment. I think parents would have grounds to sue the school if the administration allowed evenly tacitly for this to happen.

An “approved” walkout is kind on an oxymoron though.

Well, that’s the thing: It’s planned for a Friday when most kids have tests. If they go, they get 0s, and tests are 70% of their grade. If he gets a zero for this test, he will have a really hard time coming back, and have zero wiggle room.

New poster.
Talk to his teachers. Explain that he faces peer pressure etc. They aren’t interested in failing your kid
