Children Should Be Seen & Not Heard. These Protesters Are Children. GOP MEME

The GOP goes by the old meme "Children should be seen and not heard". The kids are still children who are NOT old enough to vote yet. So they should let the adults solve this problem. Now go back to your books and get back in school.

They’re typically much more enlightening and entertaining than any right-winger.

Some in Nov. 2018 and most in 2020. The shortsightedness of the GOP is coming to bite them in the a$$.

Otherwise, you are making them more susceptible to becoming a victim.

That's what the GOP needs to do with these kids. They won't, of course, but they should.

Show them the photos of the DEAD CHILDREN from Sandy Hook, from Parkman, and from every other mass shooting in which CHILDREN were KILLED.

Those children deserve to be SEEN by every NRA supported legislator, at the federal and state level.

As targets, darn right they are speaking out. The adults haven't done anything to solve the problem.

They have (hopefully) many adult years ahead of them. Let them enjoy their youth.
