But what do they want? When you protest, you are asking for change. What is the change that they want?

You don't know what they want? Trump has not implemented his ridiculousness yet, they are protesting.... immigration laws.... sexually assaulting women....

okay, i got you started you should be smart enough to figure it out.

Your post doesn't answer the question. Exactly, what do they want? Vote again until HRC wins?

They want what any protestors want - a voice. What is the point of any public protest, any march? The point is to be heard.

They want it to be known that they are opposed to this "person" the electoral college elected to be POTUS.

They'll get a voice when they turn 18 and can vote.

You realize there are other ways to "have a voice" than to vote... or maybe you don't.

As they should.

Unexcused absence will be on their record regardless of their leniency. That may hurt these students when applying to colleges and it's about time we stop coddling these teens and realize that actions have consequences.

Attending this protest would be seen as a point in their favor at many collleges.

Low performing schools

I'd say get over it. That's life. As much as I hate Trump as our next President, he is our next President. We have to honor the system whether we like it or not.

Sorry, that is not how politics works. People can affect change even with a president you did not elect. You can protest to voice your opinion on matters that are being considered and it can change the viewpoint of others.

Every single lobbyist in DC is getting ready to pay their way for whatever they want. That is how it works.

Yes, I agree. Your post is nauseating enough to change my point of view. Lobbyists buy their way for whatever they want regardless who wins the election. They always have, always will.

Completely agree.

Completely disagree.

Teenagers feel things just as deeply as, and perhaps more deeply than we adults do.

The vast majority of teenagers are also completely uninformed about politics. Feeling things deeply has nothing to do with it.

School can't condone it. Then every student could 'protest' whatever they want. I agree that the majority of these kids were just trying to get out of school.

How did it disrupt the education of those that didn't participate? They left the building.
