It’s been exactly one month since the deadly shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School — and some are choosing a somber way to pay tribute to the 17 people killed in the Parkland massacre.
Thousands of students and teachers are planning to walk out of their classrooms on Wednesday, March 14 as part of the the #Enough! National School Walkout to raise awareness about issues of school safety and the impact of gun violence. The nationwide march, organized by Women’s March Youth Empower, will happen at 10 a.m. and last 17 minutes.
The nationwide protest is both a memorial and protest action. Students and teachers across the United States will walk out of their schools and universities to honor the lives of the 17 people killed at Stoneman Douglas and press lawmakers to pass stricter gun control laws, according to EMPOWER, the group organizing the action.
Among their demands, participants want Congress to:
Ban assault weapons
Require universal background checks before gun sales
Pass a gun violence restraining order law that would allow courts to disarm people who display warning signs of violent behavior

David Hogg. Surviving students share powerful messages. 😢
From video:
“Saving students at school should not be a partisan issue.”
David Hogg: “Overcome your political boundaries. Step over the aisle. Work for something that we can all agree on – children’s lives.”

THIS: T”exas school district says it will suspend all students who take part in “any type of protest or awareness” in aftermath of the Parkland school shootinG.”
These students would rather risk suspension than RISK THEIR LIVES.

It’s such a shame that children can’t attend school to learn and teachers can’t come to teach insafety and trust.
