Skipping school to denounce a Constitution they know nothing about is becoming the Millennials’ singular contribution to civilization.

The news has been reporting on the willingness of several schools to allow high school students toengage in a walk-out protest over the continuation of the Second Amendment in this country. Many in the media are lauding this approach to civic behavior. Although, I am wondering if the county will have enough truancy officers after all of these students have to be arrested for skipping school. More importantly, given how ignorant they sound, these students should be required to remain in school andlearn something about the Constitution. (Okay, in many schools learning the Constitution is not an option these days, but you get what I’m saying!)

The kids seeking to skip school to protest America’s Second Amendment are not allotted the same rights as you and I. They are minors, for the most part. So, while they are certainly free to speak their minds, they are not free to deploy their First Amendment free speech rights as a defense against skipping school without an acceptable excuse. All children in the United States are legally required to attend school of some kind. If not, the state is compelled to intervene and ensure that each child is getting some kind of daily education.

Fact is, these kids are not all right — and it has nothing to do with post-traumatic stress disorder, or even fear of becoming the next target of a school shooter. They have been propagandized into believing a particularly pernicious lie about how terrible the United States is. This lie has been perpetuated for years by their teachers, Pop Culture, and certain political leaders they’ve been told to look up to. We are witnessing the results of this immense Leftist mission to corrupt our children’s minds. And it seems to be working well for the Left. Our children are being taken from us.

A more meaningful protest method would be for all students to carry a shotgun slung on their shoulders for a week or so in class.

That would make real sense.

Ridiculous article. What kid is arrested for skipping school? I'd bet my money that these kids with their history classes have a better grasp of how the US government works than 50% of the eastern shore does

In order for students to understand the constitution it has to be taught by someone who understands it and appreciates it.

Their hero was a man who said the Supreme Court should not be able to overturn laws passed by the representatives of the people.
HE had a position as a Constitutional expert.
That was barack obama.
And you think his admirers are going to be smarter?

The governor of GA announced potential punitive action against a private corporation for not providing goodies to a special interest group, yet you guys have been absolutely silent. You really think it is the kids that don't understand the constitution?

This is called indoctrination by the schools.
