[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid would have had my permission to go.  Fwiw, I would also give my permission if things had gone the other way and he was protesting Clinton.  Given the level of political apathy among the millennial (damn you, nonvoters) I would be thrilled about him being enthusiastic and involved in politics.  Skipping school to hang out with a boy/girlfriend or just hanging out is completely different.[/quote]

You do realize they all just skipped school and walked around.  It isn't like this was actually well executed.  They blocked traffic, they pulled police off of their regular duty and more had to be called in.  But I did hear because these [b]100 kids "protested"[/b] that Trump said he would step down now.  Oh wait.... nothing has changed.  [/quote]

It was about 1,000 kids.  That's over a third of the Blair student body.[/quote]

Looks like 800 students gathered on the football field, then many of them went back to class as was expected of them. Then about 100 or so started marching down University. [/quote]

Where does it say 100 or so left the campus?[/quote]

Sorry - that was from the first article I read. Can't find it now. All the articles now are saying "hundreds" of students from Blair and Northwood martched in protest. [/quote]

PP again - this article says they estimate 500 students marched:
