What impact will it have?  What will change? 

I think a sit in would have more impact.

If after the bell rings and kids are not leaving, I would think they were really serious.

Local politician wants to charge parents 500 a pop for bullying incidents.

little impact at most, practically none in the grand scheme of things.  

You know what'd make a great experiment?  All kids across the country get rid of their "social media" and cell phones for a month.  That'd show far better results than a 17 minute walk out.  These kids are so miss-guided it's sickening.

Ignorance.

It's already changed laws in Florida.

I like the idea of extending some punishment to parents.

Yeah...go with that....they would be better served giving them the day off to help out in the community or visiting senior centers..tangible things.

Don't act like a fucking schmuck and you won't get called out on it.  :bc:

You need a safe space, snowflake?

Neal

So disagreeing with you is acting like a schmuck?

Thanks for proving my point about you Plains Slinger.

I'm sure it didn't hurt, but after 17 kids being shot, change was coming.  People want action, regardless of results.

As much as I wish some parents would take an active interest in their children....I question who and how we would determine or define bullying.

It helped, and their impact is far from over.

So what are you saying?  Do nothing?

Well considering this crowd jumps to calling younger gernerations snowflakes etc at a moments notice.  I doubt any attempt at calling out bullies would be meted with respect.  On any other thread you would claim that a good old fist fight would solve everything. 

This walkout is effective, it’s had people on here talking about the issues. It’s had media coverage.  A few percentage points wins elections.  If 80-90% of kid rally behind one message and actually vote against Candidates that are owned by the NRA, you may see some changes.

9_9   Good lord.   How about arguing your position, instead of assigning me one to argue against.

I have given several examples  in which the students could have a bigger impact than walking out of class for 17 minutes.  Don't tell me that kids don't know who is being bullied and picked on in their schools.  A lot of times all it takes is one kid or teacher to make a difference in a kids life.  I have personally seen it happen. Real  Change comes at a small local level and spreads, not the other way around.

You didn’t come up with the idea of “hey kids why not talk to the kids being bullied instead of a nation wide walk out “.  On your own. You read it on social media. It’s all part of the nra marketing plan to change the conversation from gun control. 

This is getting attention and it is exactly what the nra always want to avoid.  Debate about gun control.  

Btw this is another case of the right complaining about free speech.  A non violent protest is planned and you have issues with it.

He’s a flaming idiot.

This is nothing more than our liberal education system teaching protest without solution.

BTW, the two high schools in my area are doing it.  She just told me it’s dumb because nobody knows what they are really walking out about.  “GUNS!!!!”

Well, if anything he is good example of the toxicity of bullying and how the effects can last well into adulthood.  Incapable of interacting with people on a normal basis.

His thought process is so out of whack, I don't even know how to respond. It is like two different  conversations are going on.
