Many, many children. Sad that Hudson High "couldn't be bothered" and I'm wondering why. It doesn't hurt to have the children miss 17 minutes of classroom time, but why confine them in the gym instead of leaving the school grounds? what is the school afraid of?Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920860526738969165.post-45218991116247176562018-03-15T19:56:05.447-04:002018-03-15T19:56:05.447-04:00I think Starting Over summarized it all best...I think Starting Over summarized it all best...troutbirderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087811292280881959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920860526738969165.post-84744866207641683682018-03-15T19:46:59.430-04:002018-03-15T19:46:59.430-04:00My friend's kids were able to participate in a...My friend's kids were able to participate in a walk-out.

Ruby told me that there was a large police presence at the school. When some students tried to leave, there were guards at the doors who would not let them pass. Some got out another door and went and stood outside for 17 minutes. There names were all taken and the suspension will be on their record which, they are told, could be looked at as a negative when they apply for college. <br /><br />Apparently, the second amendment is more important than the first and the NRA more important than our children. All they are asking for is a chance to grow up and not have to worry that some individual with his AR-15 will shoot them down.<br /><br />Starting Over, Accepting Changes - Maybehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06032033918798053005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920860526738969165.post-31095742218644252822018-03-15T16:33:19.876-04:002018-03-15T16:33:19.876-04:00Sigh.

The school was treating the students who wished to participate in the same way companies used to treat employees who were considering unionization. My God! We are moving backward. Here you and the rest of your group were trying to call attention to a real problem wanting people to educate themselves and all the reporter could ask is if you chanted?!? Thank goodness for all the children who chose to walk out, those who wanted to walk and were not allowed to, and even for those who made a conscious decision not to walk. At least the children know to express themselves in an orderly and purposeful fashion.
