Kids I care about have gone to these things. Grown adults are showing up to harass - “roll coal” in the kids faces, throw things from cars.
Mustang public schools suspended all children who walked out, with support of the governor of Oklahoma.
People almost seemed to get a hard on at the idea of hurting these children in Facebook comments.
The adults are not alright.
“Here is our lawyer fabricated excuse for harming children.”
Isn’t Tulsa the place where white people massacred the cities Black population because they were doing better than the white people economically?
Sensationalized title.
The fight was between multiple students. From what I can tell the protest still continued.
FOX23 also spoke with a freshman at Will Rogers High School who shared the following statement:
“What happened today shouldn’t represent Rogers or its students as a whole. The incident occurred between only a certain group of kids and believe me, all of us students are very upset about it because we just want our voices to be heard. We know how bad this may look for us, but today’s events don’t reflect on anyone except for the students who acted recklessly.”
Video included.
I’ve been expected to break up fights in the only district in Oklahoma worse than TPS, and I managed to never need to pepper spray or send anyone to the hospital.
This isn’t surprising. Back in the 70s, people cheered as college students were murdered at Kent State and construction workers attacked protesting students.
The kids are learning early why it is the greatest country in the world.
Sugarcoated Oppression
They’ll frame these kids as woke communist agitators, and the rest of the country will eat it up and hate the kids.
Apparently chemical weapons are now in the hierarchy of punishments that can be used against students for noncompliance in red states. Briefly, of course. For their safety.
How long until a school shooting is done by the police?
Uvalde may as well have been
Nothing says protest like following the protest guidelines, eh. FYI, you are doing it wrong people.
America is bad. Like, we’re living through it, and we can attest to the fact. But red states are even worse, with bottom rankings in quality of life, education, affordability, and opportunity. But obviously that’s the fault of the Democrats (who aren’t in charge)… /s
The passive voice is so obvious and out of place
“pepper spray was deployed”, you know that just sort of happens sometimes. Gotta keep an eye on that stuff or it will just go deploying itself all over students 'faces.
The USA is a sick and dying country, has been for decades
If we have to kill our students to keep them safe, we will! /s
Being Oklahoman I’m not surprised the fascist governor and the pigs of Tulsa for doing this. Only bright side is these kids will now be radicalized and we need the youth on our side.
Exactly. All these MAGA Apes are doing is turning OK blue in 10 years.
Exactly I don’t know many young people who aren’t at least progressive. Hell my youngest son who isn’t political at all calls himself a socialist. Gen Z and maybe Gen Alpha Could save us, but only if we fight. Because the fascist Maga are doing everything they can to kill the planet.
My 26 year old sees nothing wrong with Socialist, and even Communist idealogies.
When you’ve grown up with MAGA being the representation of Democracy, alternating with the mind-boggling fecklessness of the Biden administration, and that’s ALL you know about Democracy, when NOTHING is working, no wonder other political systems start to appear reasonable.
I’ve always thought that most of the best things about American life were Socialist anyway - Schools, libraries, parks, fire departments, etc. We should expand that part of our system to include more stuff, like Health Care.
Exactly my son literally was discussing communism and thought it was good. And he understood on paper its great ,it only fails will fascist dictator abuse it. I mean I didn’t teach him any of this. He knows I learn far left and supported Bernie Sanders in both times he ran for office. Made ms so proud.
While the kids I meet doing Ubering are the most polite riders I have, I had the unfortunate experience of working in a rural gas station some years ago. Some were open Nazis do the salute and were not ostracized by their peers.
