It was Tuesday mid-morning, this week, that I saw two women
protesting gun violence outside my window at Wichita East High, were I work as
a substitute teacher. The girl on the left has a sign that says “Stop the NRA”
the other girl had two signs, the first said “No more deaths” with a picture of
a gun with a red circle around it and a slash through it. This protest seems to
be a follow up to walk outs that were held last March 14 of this year. These
students were taking considerable risks since school officials have
threatened punishment to students who take part in such walk outs.
I am glad to see such commitment from high school students.
We need committed young people who will take on the establishment and not cower
down. They may also be young people who are not afraid to take on the
Republican Party. The future here in Kansas
