Blue areas should let the administration access their jails and prisons like the rest of the nation. If they did that the federal workers who are employed to do their jobs (not thugs as you have implied) could do their work without incident.

If it comes to fairfax the only person to blame with be the spanbeger and her new policies to not with with the federal government. Fairfax should follow national law and give up their criminals and take care of the people in the county

Where my paycheck? I was in Minnesota visiting friends and attended a protest...

I have a Tik Tok account. I don't make videos and rarely even react, but the algorithm realizes I'm mostly interested in travel, food, and dogs. It's not like I'm stalking some teenagers doing dance moves or vandalizing school bathrooms for clout.

You do know that tiktok is chinese propaganda and mostly bots, around 80% bots?

If China wants to send me videos on English Setters, Scottish landmarks, and the best new place to find coffee in the DC area, that’s fine with me. Better than having to hear about anything that Trump, a man baby who constantly throws tantrums and shits his own pants, is doing.

As for the kids, if you think their sympathies are with ICE agents employing Gestapo tactics, you have been spending too much time at Turning Point conventions.

My DS (9th grader) asked last night if it would be ok if he did a walkout, so I think the rumblings are starting this week.

West Potomac high school principal is trying to block this.

I think the lack of student protests in Virginia has really contributed to the Trump Admin’s policies. Everyone was waiting to see what FCPS students would do, and then when they failed to speak up the Trump Admin went forward with its immigration enforcement priorities.

Definitely talking about what was going on. About the primaries, etc. and no, I did not start the conversations, simply witnessed students engagement in politics. Nothing at all this year or last year. I do find it deeply upsetting.

2020? Must have been in January or February (or early March). They didn’t go to school for the rest of 2020.

Lake Braddock sent out a huge, vague email as usual.

There are local protests already outside of school, so the opportunities are there.

If the kids realize that the whole thing is theater (with real victims here and there) designed to just stir up the populace and set us even more against each other then they know they would be marching around outside in the cold for no good reason.

Anyone with eyes wide open knows that there will be no mass deportations. Dems don't have to waste their time protesting it and Reps don't need to fight with their family members about it being reasonable for countries not to allow any ol' foreigner to come in just because they wanna.

Sure, there are kids soaking up the toxic culture (both online and real) and other kids standing up for their peers.

There were plenty of Hitler Youth back in the day as well.

Sure. Are you aware that it was forced on the kids? They were required to join. Big difference--or is FCPS encouraging/rewarding protests? That's kind of a problem.

No, not at all. Don’t make things up and post them. Here’s what we received from our principal since there was talk of a walk out today:

Per Regulation 2612, students are not permitted to stage a walk-out demonstration during the school day as this can disrupt instruction time and lead to safety and security concerns. Students who walk out to demonstrate during the school day will be marked as unexcused and could face disciplinary action in alignment with Regulation 2601 and the FCPS SR&R.

Activities such as a walkout, are to occur before or after school to avoid instructional disruption. Student organizers must submit a written request at least five days in advance. The principal will meet with the organizers within three school days and issue a written decision within two school days. Administrators may also assign an alternative location to ensure safety.

Any student demonstration at school that does not follow these procedures will not be approved and cannot happen

Anonymous wrote:I’ve seen tons of student protests on the news and on TikTok, so I’m wondering: why aren’t there any schools in Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) protesting? Are FCPS students too busy dancing to protest?

Under § 22.1-254(K) of the Code of Virginia, middle and high school students are allowed one excused absence per school year for civic engagement activities, which can include First Amendment activities like protests and marches.

So if the law allows an excused absence for this, why aren’t FCPS students using it? Are schools discouraging it, or are students just choosing not to protest?

“Why aren’t the kids cool like the ones on Tik Tok” lol what a take.

I know, I know just because people want people to come into the country legally and that we want to deport the people who did not follow the rules to be deported. Apparently that makes us Hitler in 2026. The kids see this is crazy behavior (calling people hitler) and they don't side with the left because of it.
