High School Students Lead Protest Against Gun Violence In Front Of White House

[ffr]

Several student-led demonstrations also erupted across Florida on Presidents Day.

Dozens of students gathered in front of the White House on Monday to demand changes to gun laws, just days after a mass shooting at a Florida high school left 17 people dead.

The demonstration was organized by Teens For Gun Reform, an organization created by students in the Washington, D.C., area in the wake of Wednesday’s shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.

1. @FoxNews viewers are tweeting rage-filled insults (attached to a Fox tweet) at the kids who survived the Florida slaughter for saying change is needed. This shows how easily propaganda subsumes humanity. Kids who saw their dead friends, in Fox world, are supposed to shut up..
