March for Our Lives

Goes to show the level of information these children are operating under. They've been kept intentionally ignorant. One has to wonder what kind of bad info/lies they are telling in the classrooms about guns.

As a public school teacher, I can confirm that these kids are fed a constant diet of one-sided, biased information from 9/10 teachers. In fact, after the parkland shooting, teachers were expressly forbidden from discussing the issue, but most teachers ignored that- I heard several teachers tell their students that they were proud of them for walking out, etc.

If teachers aren't allowed to openly discuss both sides of the issue, the side that the media/social media give wins by default. For those few kids who have the pro-gun/rights position, it's because their parents are pro-gun.

In effect, we're f'ed.

eta: oh and the kicker, is that those few pro-gun kids, at least one of them has been branded a racist by both fellow students and teachers.

eta 2: BTW, how the f*** is a kid actually going to be able to form an informed opinion on this issue, when the student LITERALLY CANNOT MULTIPLY 1 X 10 IN HIS HEAD. I'm not kidding. Me ---> Jeffrey, what's 1 times 10? Jeffrey ---> "Ummm... it's 11. Wait, no, 9." That actual, verbal exchange took place 2 weeks ago. He's a 17 year old in his senior year of high school on his way to graduating with a high school diploma.
