Highschoolers are standing up and saying STOP. They are tired of losing peers, family, and friends. I am happy that people, highschoolers to be exact are speaking up and taking action. I think back to all those times my peers and I did not agree with things but did nothing to make a change because everyone was either scared or thought it wouldn't change anything. It's sad that it takes a couple of school shootings for students to try taking these situations in their own hands. It makes me wonder what the students from Lewis University would do if a shooting happened here, would we unite? Would we speak up and take action or would we do nothing?

I'm SO glad you wrote about this, Brenda! I'm so proud of the Parkland students! They are actually using their voices (rhetorical skills) to make real change!
ReplyDeleteDo you know that Lewis is holding a WalkOut to align with the movement? There is! On April 11 at 6:00, there's a meeting to make signs and plans. At 10:10 on April 20th, Lewis students and teachers who decide to walk out, will leave their classrooms and meet on the Green.
I'm in. Join me!
