Headline: School walkouts, sit-ins planned after Florida shooting
This propaganda is from the AP.
The mass shooting at a Florida high school that left 17 people dead has sparked calls for walkouts, sit-ins and other actions on school campuses across the United States aimed at pushing lawmakers to pass tougher gun laws.
That's weird, would tougher gun laws make people no longer homicidal maniacs?
Organizers behind the Women's March, an anti-Trump and female empowerment protest, called for a 17-minute walkout on March 14 to "protest Congress' inaction to do more than tweet thoughts and prayers in response to the gun violence plaguing our schools and neighborhoods."
So in other words, "groups financed by George Soros"?
The Network for Public Education, an advocacy organization for public schools, meanwhile, announced a "national day of action" on April 20, the anniversary of the 1999 shooting at Columbine High School in Colorado, in which two students opened fire on their classmates, killing 12 students and one teacher.
The organization is encouraging teachers and students to organize sit-ins, walkouts, marches and any other events to protest gun violence in schools.
Who are they protesting against? does anyone support gun violence in schools? No of course not, they are not protesting gun violence they are protesting gun rights.
"The politicians sit on their hands as our children and their teachers are murdered in their schools," Diane Ravitch, the group's president, and Carol Burris, its executive director, said in a post online.
As if politicians have the power to control that.
The protest plans circulated widely on social media on Saturday, signaling that the outcry for new gun legislation may not fade away as it has after other recent mass shootings. Many of those shootings, including the deaths of 20 first-graders and six educators at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut in 2012, led to a push for new gun laws, but those efforts stalled in Congress.
Sounds like the Russian troll bots are once again sowing discord in America or is Bloomberg going to spend another $50 million to fight gun rights ? So the media is going to keep this circus going longer than usual? I guess they need something to distract from the Mueller flop and all the revelations coming out about the deep state and Obama administration.
"We need to make this moment a movement and to actually make changes that need to happen in this country so that these kinds of weapons, AR-15s, are not in the hands of people who shouldn't have them," said Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers, a union representing teachers and other educators.
So that is their bright idea, another AWB ban? Even though it had no effect the first time? Insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results.
Weingarten said she was part of the discussions about the April 20 protest. What gives the Florida shooting more potential to spark change, she said, is that the students themselves got angry really quickly and demanded it.
Yeah, its almost as if they were organized towards that end.
Teenage survivors of Wednesday's shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School have become advocates for gun control, sparring with gun-rights activists on social media and calling for safer gun laws at vigils and in television interviews.
Every single one of them? Or did they scoop up those who did and make them celebrities?
Thousands of angry students, parents and residents demanded stricter gun control laws on Saturday at a rally in Fort Lauderdale, which is about 20 miles from the site of the shooting in Parkland.
In other words that many showed up to the Soros sponsored rally, not that many students from the school.
Some people in online posts called for a Civil Rights-era style boycott of schools until gun laws are changed. David Berliner, a professor of education at Arizona State University who also participated in the plans for the April 20 protest, said he would support such a boycott. He recalled watching a television news report about Wednesday's shooting at an airport.
"I'm crying, and I'm watching all the people all around me crying, and I just said, 'This has got to stop,'" he said.
A man was crying? That's sad, these stories make me sad too, children being killed is terrible. Wanting to stop it seems like a nice idea, but to do that you would have to identify the cause of it, the correct cause, if you decide that guns caused it then you will never stop it, this didn't happen because he was on guns. Guns don't come with a warning that says "may cause suicidal thoughts or actions" because they don't cause things.
Note the propaganda technique of "some people in online posts" this is where they find things on twitter that agree with them and then portray that as if it is a consensus. You may have heard the internet talking about that.
19 killed by a knife wielding man made me sad too. source
Clare Schexnyder, a mother of a middle-school student in Decatur, Georgia, said she wants moms to take their kids out of school for a day to make a statement.
A statement that says what? "I care more about being a useful idiot than my child's education"
She said a private Facebook page she launched announcing a meeting of her Stop School Shootings group after the Florida shooting attracted more than 7,000 followers overnight.
Is that a lot? She did that on Zuckerberg's Facebook, wow, I guess her politics didn't get a shadow ban huh? They make it sound like she launched it and then the next day it had that many followers, she launched it years ago, so what is their position, probably reasonable right? Here is their latest post:
Stop School Shootings
2 hrs ·
Just this week another fatal school shooting. One of americas (sic) top school shooting for deaths. Its discusting (sic) how the states still have not owned up to their own actions. BAN GUNS. Change the laws. How is it a simple hand gun is harder to get than the gun used in the lastest (sic) shooting. How is it tha (sic) easy for a child to walk into a school with a dufflebag (sic) and start shooting the innocent. Something needs to change. Blame it on mental issues but that isnt (sic)the stem of the problem.
Please comment your inputs. (sic)
here is her Facebook page, leave a comment, or comment your inputs if you like
I don't know, that seems like the post of someone with mental issues to me. This woman is being given national media attention. Banning guns is a simplistic and untenable solution if there ever was one, no wonder this article left out anything that she was actually asking for.
Her protest is planned for March 14.
It was planned for earlier but ever since she became the victim's identity group advocate of the week they need to have a much more elaborate display I am sure.
"President Trump talked about the American carnage in the United States. This is the American carnage," she said.
Of course Donald Trump was talking about how there are that many kids killed in our ghettos everyday, the ones the media does not cover. The vigils they don't make national news about. The forgotten people.
