Kids I care about have gone to these things. Grown adults are showing up to harass - “roll coal” in the kids faces, throw things from cars.

Mustang public schools suspended all children who walked out, with support of the governor of Oklahoma.

People almost seemed to get a hard on at the idea of hurting these children in Facebook comments.

    Being Oklahoman I’m not surprised the fascist governor and the pigs of Tulsa for doing this. Only bright side is these kids will now be radicalized and we need the youth on our side.

        Exactly I don’t know many young people who aren’t at least progressive. Hell my youngest son who isn’t political at all calls himself a socialist. Gen Z and maybe Gen Alpha Could save us, but only if we fight. Because the fascist Maga are doing everything they can to kill the planet.

          My 26 year old sees nothing wrong with Socialist, and even Communist idealogies.

          When you’ve grown up with MAGA being the representation of Democracy, alternating with the mind-boggling fecklessness of the Biden administration, and that’s ALL you know about Democracy, when NOTHING is working, no wonder other political systems start to appear reasonable.

          I’ve always thought that most of the best things about American life were Socialist anyway - Schools, libraries, parks, fire departments, etc. We should expand that part of our system to include more stuff, like Health Care.

            Exactly my son literally was discussing communism and thought it was good. And he understood on paper its great ,it only fails will fascist dictator abuse it. I mean I didn’t teach him any of this. He knows I learn far left and supported Bernie Sanders in both times he ran for office. Made ms so proud.

          While the kids I meet doing Ubering are the most polite riders I have, I had the unfortunate experience of working in a rural gas station some years ago. Some were open Nazis do the salute and were not ostracized by their peers.
