If the district and all of the adults in it hadn’t been so ravished with the idea of students up and leaving their assigned classes in the high school AND the middle school (BF at least–did GW administrators also buy into this?) the number of students sufficiently emboldened to actually violate the attendance rules would have been small and thus perfectly manageable via normal disciplinary procedures. This was never a powderkeg. Ridgewood’s school population has NEVER had an anarchic quality.
When 14 years olds offer themselves us as willing foot soldiers in adult-directed propaganda, what else do you expect?
Also – didn’t these 14-year olds declare themselves to be as knowledgeable about issues as adults? Why then do they need the ‘child’ shield at the same time?
“School is for educating kids not encouraging them to take political stands.”Off to the re-education camp with you!
Amen
Schools should not be involved in politics.
Schools shouldn’t but you better not check out the facebook pages of some teachers. For some, it’s an alt-left lovefest.
The vast majority of public school teachers are perpetually engaged in one or another kind of progressive political virtue-signaling in order to remain in good standing with their union.
Schools no longer teach… They indoctrinate.

The fascist comparisons don’t seem so far fetched when viewed in that light.

It is so unexpected that teachers and students would be so passionately opposed to school shootings. There must be a conspiracy behind this!
