David Hogg Claims ‘National Walkout’ Today ‘For Columbine,’ But Columbine Told Him No
He planned the walkout, then found out Columbine wasn’t on board with it. Then went ahead with it anyway. That’s called being a jerk and using other peoples’ deaths for your own political purposes. And Columbine didn’t want to have anything to do with it. And many schools and students didn’t walkout.
Quote:Columbine High School leaders are respectfully pushing back against another nationwide school walkout scheduled for this Friday, April 20: the date of the Columbine shooting.
They’re reminding students in Colorado and across the country that the Columbine community has turned the 20th day of April into a day of service, not protest.
The school confirms that a letter shared on social media, written by Columbine High School Principal Scott Christy, is legitimate. In the letter, Christy wrote:
“This year April 20 is garnering more attention that usual in the national and statewide media. We wanted to reach out to students, school leaders and school communities to share what our tradition has been and invite you to join us. We know another walkout has been promoted by various groups, however, in Jeffco the month of April has long been a time to respectfully remember our loss, and also support the efforts to make our communities a better place. Please consider planning service projects, an activity that will somehow build up your school, or perhaps pre-Day Without Hate event on April 20, as opposed to a walkout. The Columbine survivors and Columbine community has supported our efforts as a way to hope and remember, and we encourage you to as well.”
The National School Walkout has been heavily promoted by the Parkland shooting survivors. Monday morning, Marjory Stoneman Douglas student David Hogg tweeted, and then deleted, an apology to Columbine.
The tweet said:
“I’m sorry for my miscommunication yesterday I said that we should all walk out of wherever you are on 4/20 that was a mistake on my end and is no longer the case. This is what the Columbine community would like to see on 4/20. #DayOfService”
Hogg now says they want people to walk out everywhere else, while Columbine does volunteer service.

His time in the sun is over and he hadn't figured it out yet.

My son said his school had about 200 walk out. And the administration warned they would get penalized. The administration even set aside a place for a lunch hour "walkout," but were taking names of those who skipped classes.

Any blue, red or purple hair ends involved? Perhaps a Bulls' nose ring?

What the he’ll is it with these kids and teachers and walk outs? What is actually being accomplished? Do they think laws are going to be changed because they skip school?
Get back to class and learn!

IMO, most of them really don't care a whit about this "movement". An almost universal truth is that high school kids will jump on any reason to skip class if they think they can get away with it. The reason for skipping isn't relevant-getting out of class unpunished is..........
If you told them they could skip class and go shovel sh!t out of a horse barn, they'd jump on it!

I find it ironic that they call for an "assault weapons ban" on the anniversary of Columbine, since Columbine happened the last time such a ban was in effect.

Congratulations, David Hogg, Parkland activists, their leftist backers and the Parkland Middle School. His death is on your hands. Schools are not supposed to be involved in supporting political protests. If they do, they’re responsible for the safety of the children. Most of these kids don’t care about protests, they just want to be let out. And why is a sixth-grade class of 11-year-olds being let out to protest?
