Update on 27 March 2018: Miss Katsetos' profile is still up, but she has either hidden or deleted almost all content after 2010. I suppose she didn’t expect it to blow up like this – two weeks ago it had been shared almost 300,000 times! The responses were divided. Most news articles and quite some users were kind to her – but a significant number of SJWs less so, suffering a hostile meltdown over what they denounced as victim-blaming and burdening students with the responsibility to prevent mass shootings. Nothing surprising, just the usual self-righteous hatred against people who dare to choose any other course than pushing for Gun Prohibition. What made this case notable in that regard was that the “Progressives” vilified a teacher whose crime consisted in encouraging direct, constructive, positive action over nasty, hysterical, astroturfed virtue-signalling. She did not even speak out against gun control, she just wanted to show Sixgraders what they can do personally to make the world a bit safer, kinder and better. Well, we can’t have that now in the current year, can we? 😉 From that angle, what she did was far more offensive to the Left than asking them about basic gun facts. And you can check how calmly, politely and rationally they react to that here: https://youtu.be/k0xhiDeLUPs
Rachel Penn is thoughtful. 14 hrs feeling My son asked if he could walk out in protest today...here's how the conversation went... Son: is it ok if I protest on Wednesday? Me: protest what? Why would you do that? Son: protests initiate change; they bring awareness to the issue Me: yes, like what... Son: like civil rights; people had to protest for the right to vote, etc (he went on) Me: that's true! Protests can be a great catalyst. So what are you protesting? Son: gun laws Me: and what are the current gun laws? Son I don't know, but they need to change Me: how do you know that if you don't know what they are? Who makes the gun laws? Whose attention are you trying to get? State, federal, local..? Son: I don't know Me: then no, you may not protest in ignorance. You don't protest something just bc everyone else is doing it. What is happening in our schools is wrong, and scary, and sad, and yes, some things need to change But you must educate yourself before you can be an agent of change. ...I'm all about protesting for change, for justice, and being passionate about a cause; I'm not about blindly following the crowd in ignorance.
Joseph Dobrian D-WIR "This 'school walkout' thing is giving me serious 1984' vibes. Schools are sanctioning it, so it isn't actually a walkout. It's actually students conforming to the government authority by speaking a government-approved opinion in a government-approved venue. And that opinion is that they should have their own rights taken away by the government whose opinion they are expressing You have students marching with the sanction of the state to demand less freedom from the state... and everyone is pretending that their doing so is somehow brave and rebellious. If my kids weren't already homeschooled, this would probably tip the balance." (Josh Hugo)
