[TX-RAT]

[ChairmanAgnostic]

8. what of student activism? Only during lunchtime? what da fa?

[TX-RAT]

15. Sent my child to school to get an education.

Not to be an activist.

[400Years]

16. sounds like you sent your child to school to become a drone

This walkout is current events 101.

By the way, school does not equal prison.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

17. learning about society is at least as important at Econ 101

[TX-RAT]

19. That drone spent 8 years in the Navy

And is now an RN and a flight nurse in West Tx.

I'll judge her by her accomplishments, you can judge her anyway you want.

[400Years]

21. so you really don't have a kid in school I see

and I'm not judging her, I'm judging your statements.
Maybe you have a comprehension problem.

[TX-RAT]

28. What part of sent my child to school, didn't you understand.

And you accuse me of having a comprehension problem. LMFAO

18. Not all education happens in a classroom

And these days, indeed, more of a civics lesson would be learned to participate in non-violent dissent.
The kids that walked out learned the best lesson that our country has to offer.
They have a voice. They have a choice.

[TX-RAT]

20. And they choose to get their ass's suspended.

That was real bright.

[400Years]

22. blindly following orders is a subject that history has much to teach about

but you probably wouldn't learn those lessons even if they were presented to you in a very basic way.

[TX-RAT]

25. Talk your sanctimonious shit with someone else.

[400Years]

26. how cute

[demosincebirth]

4. If thats the policy, yes

Just like cutting class

[MrSlayer]

5. 72-28 Yes.

:kick:

[texastoast]

6. Amnesty

for exercising their right to civil disobedience.

Go, Dallas.

[Critters2]

7. Yes

Yes 71%
No 29%

I'm one of the 71%. Even if it's an act of conscience, breaking the rules has consequences.

9. thanks everyone for voting

I'm only interested in getting responses from outside the viewing area. My feelings on the subject are mixed.

[NoPasaran]

10. Done!

If they had walked out of classes to protest the war, I wonder if there would be so many disapproving voices on DU.

[Howardx]

13. good question

probably not i imagine

[guinivere]

29. ding ding ding!

Exactly.

They are utilizing their right to free speech.

The other polls were good questions also.
Build a wall! :eyes: Deport them! Who the hell is gonna round up 11 million people?!:eyes: Sure, tack those costs to the budget.

[ceile]

11. Some of the other polls

66% say "yes" to building a wall
47% say "deport all illegals" (that's a majority)

I live in TX and Dallas has never been a bastion of liberal thinking, but GOD DAMN people. You can't just toss out a major part of your society and expect the city to still function (businesses, etc).
You'd think it would be common sense!!

[BlueCollar]

12. lead story on channel 5

interesting to see what tomorrow's right wingers on klif570 have to say

[NoPasaran]

14. I wonder who they think is going to BUILD that wall?

Probably not too many guys named Lance on that crew!

[Yollam]

23. I said yes.

I respect their right to say what they want to say, but if they do so on school time, they should be ready to face the consequences.

Or they could march on a Saturday.


(That being said, the punishment should be reasonable...)

[Bridget Burke]

24. Sounds like the punishment will be pretty light...

"Dallas school officials said the students who participated in the rallies would receive an unexcused absence."

I'll bet the "majorities" on all three polls will be disappointed. I know that Houston is not a liberal paradise, but I feel for any DU'ers in the Metroplex.

27. 64 -36 keep it up

DU'rs
two students were arrested here yesterday, for truancy and one more for lynching (trying to free them). These kids could be our ground troops in the next election
