re: Any principals that allows walkouts should be fired

quote:

---

Thats how you frame enforcing school attendance?

This is how you frame a student-led demonstration?

The founders would be appalled.

firing the principals is a good start but also pursue enforcement of truancy laws in those locations.

I know first hand of cases where leftist nutjobs have gone after homeschoolers under the truancy laws just to be a PITA - I didn't know that those laws were still on the books and haven't heard about it in years until recently; but that door swings both ways.

And if they're encouraged?



By whom?

---

By the Principal.

In which case, your statement would essentially be, "Here, we're encouraging you to do this thing that we totally discourage." Paradoxical nature.

quote:

It seems like the average poster wants all students to indoctrinated to just be compliant and obedient to their overlords. Heaven forbid kids be allowed to think for themselves or organize a demonstration.

A). Doing so on their own time, not on taxpayer-funded time would be completely different. But these teachers and principals are government employees funded entirely by taxpayer dollars on government time, encouraging kids during work hours to demonstrate against the government. I cannot fathom any universe where that's not a big issue. And it has nothing to do with wanting them "indoctrinated into obedience", but everything to do with teaching them responsibility and that there's a time and place for everything. When they graduate and eventually enter the workforce, what precedent has the school system set? The precedent that, on company time, you can forego your responsibilities because you'd rather spend your time advocating for/against political and social issues. You know, we used to have classes during school hours where these topics could be explored and robustly debated. That is, until the Establishment Left completely took over the K12 through Academia system and suppressed any sound discourse in favor of a single ideology and perspective. THAT, is indoctrination.

It’s like y’all were never young

I think the bigger problem is that some have never transcended the "young" mindset and accepted a more broad perspective. I was constantly in trouble in school and doing dumb crap, but later on in my life, in retrospect, the people that I admire the most back then are the people that were the hardest on me and most critical. I just saw them as "hardasses" at the time, but then when I had my own kids later in life it was like, "Oh, I get it."

quote:

---

Yes, they weren't attending school. Thats completely neutral, unlike your pathetic progressive framing.

---

They attended school. They skipped a class. Or part of a class. Or classes. Anything to justify your bootlicking “small government conservative” beliefs.

quote:

If there was a fire, would you want kids to be locked inside or have the freedom to leave the building? You people are insane.

Was there a fire?

I agree.

l see an issue with staff leading the walkout but not with allowing it. It’s a great learning experience and a great way to teach students about their rights.

I disagree.

It's a safety issue, for one.

It contributes to exactly zero of what the state mandates the children learn, and, in fact, detracts from learning time- the hours per day of such also mandated by the state.

If the principle didn't call 911 he/she should be fired.

---

Why 911? What law was broken that necessitated intervention from law enforcement?

Anything to have guns around kids and escalate a situation with force.

Nice strawman, dumbass

I’ve been re watching the wonder years and there is an early episode (filmed in the 80s set in the 60s) that revolves around a walk out for the Vietnam war.



So while I may not agree with it don’t try to pretend that this hasn’t been a thing even when the boomers were kids.
