When I first heard of this I was disgusted! Its not just students it teachers as well. The educators that are suppose to be helping guide children and instead they are using them to satisfy there political agenda. I havent been out of school long but I know that at least for the kids it just a way to get out of having to go to class. It has nothing to do with wanting to make a point. They fill these kids with fear but complain when these same kids miss school because they are frightened. Its sad that even elementary school children know about this violence or so called violence because the administraters are putting it in there face. This is not educating these children it is using them for their fear. Schools are not the place to play with politics especially on minds that are being molded.
