Student protests, whether they're meaningful or not, are a part of American culture. Why all the hate about kids actually caring about things? Wisdom comes from experience.
They can do it on their own time and not disrupt our kids learning.
Do you not understand what protests are? School *is* the kids' own time. If your kids don't want to do it, they don't have to.

Good thing MCPS eliminated their SRO program and banned police on school grounds so the students themselves can, you know, . . . police them selves and organize their own safety.![]()

If your argument that kids have no free speech rights unless it’s for a leftist cause, the courts won’t allow it
They are all unexcused.
No they aren’t
