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~~

kids will use any excuse to skip class

I'm sure that a non-zero number of students don't care and just joined a bandwagon that let them skip class. I bet some kids who support ICE took part in the walkout too.

Regardless, learning that they can take part in direct action is a more valuable lesson than whatever they were going to learn in English class that day.

Full, uncritical support to my high school aged comrades who blew off half the day yesterday to March. No matter if they did it because they wanted to protest the injustices of this nation, or they did it so they could smoke some reefer and get Dairy Queen, I salute them.
