A terrible tragedy is occurring right before our eyes.\u00a0 The terrible tragedy of another high school shooting, this time in Florida becoming the shining beacon for the left on gun control.<\/p>\n
Too many young people did die that day which didn’t have to.\u00a0 But is the ‘walk out’ protest really the right way to correct the problems?<\/p>\n
If one examines what happened we have failures across the board.\u00a0 The FBI failed to really investigate and stop the shooter before anything happened.\u00a0 Multiple complains came in and yet, nothing happened at all.\u00a0 There are statements that during the shooting that not only was the school guard outside, but so were three other police officers.\u00a0 For some reason declined to enter the school.<\/p>\n
But let’s get to this #walkout protest.<\/p>\n
The protest seemingly is from students who say they’ve had enough of gun violence (the same age group which had to be ‘saved’ from doing the Tide Pod Challenge).\u00a0 They call it the walk out where they will not be in class to show politicians how ‘united’ they are in this issue.<\/p>\n
Yet there are already rumors and reports from other teens who are being threatened they have to participate or their grade might suffer.\u00a0 Really sounds like a student led function.<\/p>\n
These teens are pushing the wrong solution.\u00a0 Many of these shooters seem to be the outcasts of the school.\u00a0 Those kids who don’t fit in with the ‘cool’ groups.\u00a0 They are laughed at by the same teens who are pushing this walk out protest.<\/p>\n
Instead, these same teens should be instituting a #walkup solution.\u00a0 If you see a kid off to the side, talk to him or her.\u00a0 Don’t allow others to put them down.\u00a0 You might take that kid off the path of being an upcoming shooter.\u00a0 You might help one person directly and hundreds more indirectly with a simple action.<\/p>\n
Yet, these protesting teens will not.\u00a0 Why?<\/p>\n
They are stuck in their quest for being part of the cool group.\u00a0 Because of this, they will not walk up as it might lessen their social standing among others.<\/p>\n
You want to make a difference, walk up, not out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
