School shootings: Students are tired of hiding. They want to be seen and heard.

[ffr]

Students across America are responding to the horrific shooting that took the lives of 17 teens at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida 12 days ago.

Students are taking personal stands. In Ohio, after a teacher who uses a wheelchair advised her class they should escape and not worry about her in the event of a shooter, students reassured her they already formulated a plan: They all will carry her with them to safety.

And students are taking political stands, planning protests and school walkouts to push for sensible gun laws that ban weapons designed for mass carnage.

It should be no surprise students are strategizing for their own safety and demanding policy changes.

Adults haven’t done it for them, offering nothing but condolences in the wake of Columbine and Sandy Hook and the dozens of other deadly school shootings in recent years.

We have allowed a place that should be safe, a place where we tell students their futures will be brightened, to become a place where their lives are endangered and where they practice hiding in closets and under desks. - Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Tell me what democracy looks like?

1. I think we're all tired of "it's not the time to talk about it".

Same chicken shit excuse from cowardly conservatives who are scared of losing power to have a serious and rational discussion of gun control. Its time to end this cycle!
