Because this word needs to be spread

Not because it is a good idea for idiot kids to be protesting this way, for or against gun control.  That's a whole 'nother matter. 

But because if 400 schools had walkouts supporting gun bans you would (and did) hear about it in the headlines for a couple news cycles.

If 400 schools have walkout supporting civil rights and the keeping and bearing of firearms, then you have radio silence.  Because the people that decide what gets exposure in the major Media outlets are gun banners and in kind contributors to the Democrat party. 

Well, you read this, so not total silence.
