"Texas superintendent threatens 3-day suspension for students who walk out to protest gun laws" - Do you support the students or the Superintendent?

“A school is a place to learn and grow educationally, emotionally and morally. A disruption of the school will not be tolerated.”

"Walkouts have been reported in various states, including Florida, Colorado, Minnesota and Illinois, where some school administrators said they were instructed to allow students to walk out peacefully, while others, like those in the eastern Texas city of Needville, said they had a zero tolerance policy toward such demonstrations."

That is a strong lesson for those students. Gun violence is an epidemic the politicians refuse to address. School boards are elected in Texas and this could be something for them to take up.

Voting age is eighteen. It would be a safe bet some of those kids will be voting in November. Shootings are almost a daily occurrence.

It's a serious problem, but not an "epidemic."
