Students Across US Stage Walkouts to Protest Gun Violence


(Worthy News) – In a wave of demonstrations reaching from Arizona to Maine, students at dozens of U.S. high schools walked out of class on Wednesday to protest gun violence and honor the victims of last week’s deadly shooting in Florida.

The protests spread from school to school as students shared plans for their demonstrations over social media. Many lasted 17 minutes in honor of the 17 people killed at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland.

Hundreds of students from Maryland schools ditched class to rally at the U.S. Capitol. Hundreds more filed out of their schools in cities from Chicago to Austin, Texas, often around the lunch hour. [ Source: CBN News (Read More…) ]
