Feeling a hell of a lot better about the future of our country after seeing how this generation has sprung into action, how determined and articulate they are. Let's all support them any way we can, but let it be their movement. They've earned it.

I have a feeling, Rick, that these kids will Never go quietly into that goodnight. They are in this for the long haul, and will raise us all up into becoming the nation we all knew we could be.

If they are 18 they need to register to vote, and then actually do it. Their age group can swing elections if they want to.

The District of Columbia has some of the most draconian gun control in the nation. I think these kids just wanted to skip school.
-
Maybe they wanted to show solidarity with their fellow Florida students, and join what very well looks to become the most important national-level social movement since Occupy Wall Street?

I'm still thinking free day off school. Seriously.

I'm still thinking you'll end up on the wrong side of history on this one

What makes you so sure you know what side of history I’m on? I just know kids like ditching school.
