Oh my god IT ACTUALLY HAPPENED LIKE ALL OF THEM LEFT! turns out they adjusted their plan between yesterday and today to synchronize with the local high-school, I am SHOCKED

Ive never ever EVER seen coordination like this before from them. It was almost complete unity basically everyone walked out and they did it all at the same time all coordinated only by themselves I am feeling ecstatic right now holy fuck

I am do proud of them right now holy fuck I'm CRYING

Even the ones who I thought would just be doing this to get out of school had signs and stuff and marched off with everyone else instead of just bailing! I'm so proud of them...

~~I thought I had already given up but hearing the kids talk about this gave me the slightest bit of hope I guess, cause at the appointed time has come and gone and nothing happened I just feel absolutely fucking gutted~~

~~There is no hope, not even the bullshit liberal nonviolent protest kind, this country is a desolation~~

It builds solidarity, it builds class consciousness! That's pretty huge for middle school aged kids. I mean, like someone else in the thread said, I've never heard of kids in that age group doing a walk out like that, let alone one linked together with the upper grades. Super cool shit. Administration better watch out, if they figure out they can do this about stuff they don't like in their schools, things might get spicy.

A friend of mine who was a substitute teacher was like "yeah I try and give them the knowledge that they can have an impact on this stuff; usually I just pull up the school board website and let them know 'these are the people to email right here, most of this stuff is their call'"
