    YES. I might go to the school I last taught at and support them. Hey...maybe I can get arrested and be on the news. (No big deal...I know a bunch of cops.)

    It always pays to have friends in high places. Good for you.

    I sure do!!  No one should carry more weight with this issue than them!  It's time to listen to people that have no monetary interest in their opinions.  They are absolutely right and commend them for taking their pain and doing something constructive with it!

    I think a few adults would be happy to join the protest. Count me in.

    This is an issue that concerns just about all of us when you really think about it.

    I support them definitely! They are tired of being afraid. We never had to deal with the stuff that goes on in schools today. These students lost friends, family and teachers. Damn right I support them!

    Sadly, peaceful protests by millions may be the only way to send a message to Washington, loud and clear.

    I hope it changes a few things.  We can't keep going the way we are.

    Everyone should be fed up with how things have been handled about the issue.

    Yes....100%    Why not march on the White House and camp on their lawn...... May be every student stop going to school until parents deem it's safe to send them.....You need a huge embarrassing protests with media coverage to make it work quickly.....and never vote for anyone who refuses to listen and act quickly...l

    Did you hear the latest?  Have the news on right now.  Trump is actually BLAMING the FBI's ball dropping on that mass murderer because he, Trump, says the FBI was too busy poking in his business to follow up on the shooter.

    Always needs to deflect from the issues.   Children fight that way.

    Yesterday there was something on Yahoo that Trump was saying the school kids themselves could have done more!  Can you imagine blaming the kids for getting themselves killed?  The school and the Sheriff's department were also warned numerous times and they failed to do anything other than expel him from school, so why blame only the FBI.  There's plenty of blame to go around here, but definitely not the students.

    I cringe every time that man talks.  He is so incompetent.  If you don't even possess the skills of good communication, you need to shut up.  

    I hope those kids make a lot of noise that will drown out anything Trump says.
