So in other words the protesters didn't know what they were protesting or why it was important, but ran with it anyway.
The dumbing down of America apparently.
"What do we want?!"
We don't know!
"When do we want it?"
Now!!
Middle school protests are a lot like Middle School... everything. It's all just a fumbling, superficial simulacrum of shit they think young adults do.
I feel like if you look back at yourself when you were in middle school and don't cringe, you did it wrong. 😆
looking back to middle school and seeing myself as Shere Khan in the production of Jungle Book we did in theatre
I nailed being that tiger. 😤
Idk I was mostly just crying in horror, dread, and anguish. I’m better these days, but like I wasn’t wrong about the state of the world, my body, my social life, and my family. I just probably shouldn’t’ve been doing the crying in class. It was Highschool when I became a shithead I want to smack
I just did a career day at my sons middle school a few weeks ago. It's still just as cringe and awkward as when I was there myself. haha!
Yeah, please don't judge me on the choices I made in middle school
Something must be done! This is something, therefore, this must be done!
In general, what it seems like they want is to prevent social progress, and by having an absurd protest against nothing, they're trivializing protest. It's similar to the Republican impeachment attempts of executive branch members, the objective isn't to get the person removed, it's to make it seem mundane.
Yep, plus what the other commenter brought up. It's middle school. These kids are thinking they can get out of class to make fun of other kids and maybe get on the news doing it. They're parents created this out of nothing to do just what you're saying.
bingo.
that seems like a mischaracterization by the school admin:
They want to ban furry ears and such
