They only get a half-day. Sure, some kids will abuse it. But I think the lessons learned can be important for many kids. Maybe one of those lessons could be that their time would have been better spent in class. Who knows?

I know and it’s curious there are so many Trumpkins posting here when the county votes overwhelmingly blue.

Well, my MOCO blue vote is turning red next year. My party has fallen off of the rails. There are a lot of us.

This is me also.

Voted for Hillary last time. Voting for Trump in 2020. My MoCo vote means nothing because the County is so overwhelmingly blue. But, like another poster said, I want my voice to be heard against how far left the County has gone.

Trumpkins? Are you capable of civil discourse? That's what should be occurring here.

I have a lot more faith in these teen protesters to think critically and speak intelligently over some of these idiot adults showing up at Cheetoh's rallies:

I agree with the PP. Do you know those two men? How do you know they can’t speak intelligently?

And based on what I see from my DD’s classmates work, some of their writing ability is certainly lacking as a direct result of their MCPS education. Though, hopefully, they can think better than they can write?

You wouldn’t get ten students if the protest was on Saturday morning.
