I mean, I get that adults often use kids as pawns and props for their own beliefs but for this type of thing, why is it hard to believe the kids planned it? Kids in 4-5th grade are 10-12 years old. I think that's a ripe age to want to jump in and do something. And if they knew that the change of funding meant some of their teachers weren't coming back next year, seems like that's motivation for them to want to fight back somehow.

Seems more like staff would be more likely to discourage it, since it was probably a big hassle for them. I see some adults in the video but they look like they're just standing back and supervising, so probably teachers? Were parents allowed on the property?

I think it was probably a great lesson in civics for the kids. People don't give kids enough credit these days. When they're clueless and don't care about the world, they're lazy and entitled. When they try to speak up (about an issue directly affecting them!) they're labeled as brainwashed or troublemakers.[/quote]
