[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]... and that made an impact on ICE policies? Congratulations on an early exposure to pointless protests.  Were they wearing an "I stand with Minnesota" sticker while walking out of class?[/quote]

Why do you hate America and its children?[/quote]

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

And many BCC students are worried about their friends and classmates being taken by ICE. Or their friends’ parents being taken. I am proud of these kids for exercising their right to free speech. [/quote]

No. This is more performative BS so they can write a better college essay. Like preaching to the converted so they can feel better about themselves without actually doing anything. How about doing this in front of DHS HQ or maybe a deep red area of state or country and in an area that ICE is targeting? Maybe then I’d see this as something meaningful. [/quote]

+1000.   This is "Armchair activism"[/quote]

Said the person sitting on her duff writing cranky messages on an anonymous chat board 😂[/quote]

DP. But that’s all you got? An ad hominem attack? I guess that’s the last refuge when the facts are inconvenient. This isn’t a “protest” with real consequences. This isn’t the March on Selma or a sit in. Heck, they couldn’t even be bothered to do this on their own time! What they are doing is the equivalent of virtue signaling with a “in this house sign, we believe”. A less charitable read is they’re cutting class and getting away with it while using the current issue of the day as cover. You know, like they did with BLM and Ukraine flags over the last several years. Oh yeah, where’s the activism now and what difference did those make? Doesn’t make as good copy for the college essay this year?

Do you have this attitude when college students protested Palestine, Iraq War, etc.? Student activism happens on school campuses in both K-12 and higher ed. This has always been the case.

Why would high schoolers not be allowed to protest current events but college students can?

Your feelings aren't based on the law or even a consistent logic.[/quote

Protests happening in K-12? Mine 7 year old will protest that there is no outdoor recess, sure. Or do you actually really believe that elementary age kids are in the weeds of current politics?[/quote]
