Steven Crowder put this up today. Just how big the anti-gun school walk outs were is something I haven't seen talked about anywhere else.
I guess it doesn't surprise me. The anti-gun movement has mostly had more funds than people, but they people they have are loud and always get good media coverage. Any thoughts?

Not surprised. Read a few articles that are about some brave student willing to walk out even though they are the only person at the school who is, and I'm betting that pretty much all schools are like that where only one or two, or none, walk out. But the media doesn't cover those, or cover it in that manner, and tries to pass it off like it's some nation wide thing happening at all schools.

An 11-year-old 6th grade boy at Parkland Middle School in El Paso, Texas, was hit and killed by a pick-up truck while crossing a major highway during the National School Walkout on Friday.

And of course, this doesn't get major media coverage.
The school organizes a walkout and then loses track of the children in its care during the walkout. One of those children is killed crossing a major highway.
Nothing about this recklessness in the national news at all.

The one point Crowder made about more kids walking out to cut class at many schools is probably true. I was thinking a number of kids used to cut last period among other classes when I was in high school. Some days the number was likely as high as during this protest.

I am of two minds: On one hand, the school had an organized event and then failed to keep track of the students. On the other hand, the kids cut out and had to climb a wall according to the story and cross a major high way (I am sure they used a cross walk). At some point, the kids become responsible. They aren't supposed to be prisoners.
