Second post on this one tonight. Must be stuck on CNN and getting fired up. I think these kids are legitimately concerned about the situation and they are doing what they can to make a change. I don't think they are properly informed about the constitution, the ramifications of giving away freedom for perceived safety, or taking a holistic approach to complicated problems. Their reaction to the clear backpacks is a give-away to their single-minded ignorance of the subject. I'm not sure if they are being manipulated in an overt sense. That's pretty dark...but it's possible. They are surely being manipulated by the media, just like half the country is. That's more covert and insidious, but all media has a bias, including the right.

Children, like new Soldiers like, NO "Need" to be led. Children have a natural attraction to leaders both real and fake which is why they are so vulnerable to predators since they have NO worldly experience and, in many cases have NO direction path for their lives. To answer the question as honestly as I believe I can, I'll say a resounding YES!! The limp wrist liberals, especially here in CT "Traitors Chris Murphy and Dick the fake Vietnam Veteran Blumenthal, and of course Communist Gov Molloy have twisted and encouraged young minds for their own political agendas. I think that ALL violence exists and that NO CHILD should be unsafe in School but, I also believe that our fractured selfish society including lazy enabling parents are also to blame.

No more than the students who are speaking out in defense of firearms are being manipulated and controlled by conservative republicans (oxymoron).

No. As it turns out, students don't like seeing other students getting killed in their schools.
