FCPS March 14th walkout

Dear Parents and Guardians and FCPS staff,
Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) has received many inquiries regarding the participation of students in a planned national walkout on Wednesday, March 14, at 10 a.m. for 17 minutes in observance of the 17 lives lost in the tragic school shooting in Parkland, Florida. We recognize the desire of many students to lend their voice to this important national conversation.
Please note that FCPS does not oppose, nor endorse, this call to action. Additionally, school staff also should not be encouraging or discouraging student participation. Pursuant to Supreme Court rulings on the issue of student free speech rights, FCPS students do not lose their constitutional protections “at the schoolhouse gate.” As such, students have the right to participate as long as their activities do not disrupt the instructional day.
Recognizing the potential for significant disruption that could be caused by many students choosing to participate in the March 14 observance, principals at the middle, high, and secondary schools have been directed to work with students to find peaceful and safe opportunities to facilitate the observance while minimizing the disruption to the instructional day. Teachers are directed to remain in class with students who do not participate. Those students who go beyond the planned 17 minute observance on March 14, or exhibit inappropriate behavior, may be subject to discipline as outlined in the Student Rights and Responsibilities document.
For students in elementary schools, due to more limited staffing and to ensure the safety and security of students, age appropriate conversations or activities may be facilitated by the principal when necessary. As always, parents make the decision regarding student attendance and may withdraw their student from part of the school day if they so choose.
Thank you for your support as we seek to recognize the balance between our students’ rights and freedom of expression while ensuring their safety at all times.
Sincerely,
Dr. Scott Brabrand
Superintendent

Statistically, children outside of school are at far greater risk of being killed than children in school, even when the occasional random school shooting is factored in.

Also, keep in mind that our support for students' rights and freedom of expression does NOT extend to any conservative viewpoints, which are by definition racist, sexist, and xenophobic.
We will NOT tolerate those who support individual rights, limited government, the 2nd amendment, or free speech!

Was there a nationwide student led walkout on these topics FCPS prevented students from participating in? Or are you just a Trumpster full of shit?

More social engineering by union teachers.
School: it’s okay to be disruptive and walk out.
You know how much of Parkland kids’ responses are scripted???

This is what I am concerned over too especially if they assemble outside and form a crowd.
We know that made it easy for the Vegas Shooter to kill so many.
I don't understand this.
So administrators are granting the students permission. If this were not the case, then the walk out would be considered a truant act, would it not?
Also, if administrators allow this with no consequence, then how many more "walk outs" will be assembled and carried out for "political issues" in the future?
Also, if the administrators allow this "walk out", but forbid any in the future over other political issues, then are not not summarily expressing a Political Issue themselves? Namely that they are PRO - GUN CONTROL and anti- NRA, etc.?
What example is this setting for our children? .. allowing them to miss school because of a specified political issue, but not others, just because of an unfortunate event which occurred in a school in another state?
I believe this is a slippery slope and is encouraging an unhealthy outlook.
The focus in schools should be education, NOT political activity.
Also, the excuse of "it's their Constitutional Right".
Really?
Besides Human rights, the Constitutional rights of minors are subject to the adults who oversee them; parents, educators, baby sitters, coaches, etc.
The Bill of Rights does not apply to minors on their own.
The cannot even VOTE until they are 18 years old.
The rights of a minor are subject to their custodians and the Public schools have just lost it.
There is a reason we have a drinking age, a minimum age for driving, for joining the military, for voting, for owning a fire arm, etc.
For goodness sakes, the human brain is not fully developed until 25 or 26 years old.
I SEE THIS AS A Political MOVE BY SCHOOL administrators and teachers TO EXPLOIT A CRISIS by using STUDENTS TO MAKE A POLITICAL STATEMENT.
This is WRONG on many levels.
Child exploitation.
AS partisan USE OF TAX PAYER DOLLARS.

Like Loudoun. They called bullshit on this tantrum and are having none of it.
Why haven't the libtards learned yet that giving everyone trophies and coddling are significant contributors to school shootings and the like. This is a great way to keep the tragedy train going. Just like the libs love it when they have nice poor bedraggled niggers to campaign to, libtard teachers always need a tragedy or some bad weather to blame on someone.

Bias Alert

Date: March 13, 2018 02:10PM
With the odds of being shot dead in a public school on any particular day 1 in 614,000,000 (per the Post), and the odds of student death through walking or biking to school 10 times higher, why aren't the students marching to save lives by outlawing walking and biking?
Answer: The walkout isn't about logical thinking. Additionally, facts have no place in the walkout. Instead, the walkout is about turning raw bias into political action.
Giving into bias is the WRONG THING to teach in schools.

What does the SR&R say about students leaving school grounds in the middle of the day? For example, if one student wants to protest peas on the cafeteria menu and does a walk out for 20 minutes. Are there repercussions? Or something more serious like a walk out to protest abuse by teachers or lack of funding for certain program or just because.
Can any student say they're doing a walkout, leave for a few minutes, then be let back in to resume the remainder of the day?

FCPS calls this an “observance” - but it’s not.
The people who have organized this nationwide “walkout” have made this a “call to action” with very specific steps they have outlined for students to take on a gun control agenda supported pretty much by one political party in this country.
Imagine the outcry if this were an “observance” sponsored by the Right to Life movement.

Don't tell gun control freaks that, they just want the guns no matter what.
Students have a much better chance of being killed by lightning or in a school bus or other transportation mode (parents car) or swimming in the summer, riding a bicycle, then being shot in a public school or on the school grounds.
Social media and mass fake news media frenzy is what it is to take gun rights away while ignoring real issues, like what are these students actually learning, what should they take in college or should they go to trade or vocational classes or schools and start working and not wasting time and money with college studies that will not help them

Has nothing to do with Football players. We had students bringing these items to school 30 years ago. There is always some who do this until they are caught.
We were shocked ... Chris opens his locker and there's a 38 pistol hanging there. He closes his locker and goes to his next class.
Chris didn't have many friends and most people thought he was a thug, but he never shot up the place.
He tried playing football, but it was too much work for him so he quit.
There ARE weapons in schools .. That's not the concern. The concern is the students who want to bring in multiple weapons and loads of ammo .. those who plan things out thoroughly. Those are the ones who are going to do damage.
I went to school in MD by the way.
Eventually Chris was expelled for having a weapon in his locker after administrators checked into it.
Oh, we also had a school resource officer in plain clothes too ... she was always asking me questions about what I knew concerning certain students, etc.
Pretty cool lady and funny as hell.
The answer to all of this is not to "control guns", but to control these marginalized and often mentally ill persons, whether it be by a gun or not.
Sometimes a gun can prevent further loss of live and seems to be the quickest way to stop a mass shooter, in my tiny and unpopular opinion.
I work in DC ... there are students everywhere, walking around as in herds of lost animals. Funny to watch.
Congratulations to the Liberal school administrators and teachers who pulled this stunt off, with NO CONSEQUENCES FOR MISSING SCHOOL!!!
Great recruiting, great message sent .. just fabulous! Exploitation at its' finest.
This is telling ... calling it a "Constitutional Right" .. These kids don't know the Constitution or where they are going ... wanderers ... Very amusing too. When are we going to give kids the right to vote?
Maybe another "Walk Out" should be planned for that with another excused absence.
Thank you for the laughs.

I emailed my kid's principal that I am organizing a parent counter-protest and wanted some guidance where we could stand on school property and if he wanted to review our signs. He completely freaked out.

Texting while driving kills 11 kids per day. Do you think these kids would be willing to ban cell phones to save 4000 kids per year?

Cell phones have an actual purpose other than killing human beings. High-capacity rifles and assault rifles have one purpose only - to kill as many things in as short a time as possible.
88000 Americans die in alcohol related incident each year. Let's bring back Prohibition!!!

My son showed me an instagram post from a kid in FCPS that wondered if the next shooting killed 50 or 60 kids if they would get to stay outside for an entire hour next time.
Nice work libs...way to really get the kids engaged and on point here.

Mass shootings are almost always in Gun-Free zones. Fuck the liberals who insist on establishing these killing fields! The kids should protest these libtardian failures.

>as I said your arguments are stale and uninformed
Columbine : 2 common 12 gauge shot guns used , both sawn off with a hacksaw
Va Tech : 2 hand guns used one a .22 rimfire
In the 50's 60's 70's 80' 90's and today there were M1 rifles 8 shot magazines 30-06 power, M1 carbines with 15 and 30 round magazines all over the place and all types of firearms with easier access . Until recently parents kept guns in gun racks in living rooms and unlocked glass gun cabients
They sold M-1 carbines at Tysons Corner Woolworths until the 1990's and Sears sold M1 carbines by mail till 1968 and after that in stores until they too got rid of the guns over PC and are now going out of business. 30 round magazines are 30 round magazines M1 carbines or AR-15's
Talk about being ignorant because facts undo your lies
You don't even have a clue what guns were around back then till you want to ban them too

The spike in AR-15 sales after 2004 represents sales to GI's that had served in combat in Iraq and Afghanistan or anywhere in the military and lots of them enjoy shooting sports
Plus anytime a Democrat is in the White House gun sales soar
The reason kids are killing kids in schools are self centered lazy selfish parents, giving their kids a computer and forget they exist
And much more, such as the sensational liberal media to push gun control that brings on copy cats and many of these killers are just that copy cat killers

24000 pairs of shoes should be on the lawn in front of the US Capitol since 2012
Add in the car wrecks since 2012 that stupid parents caused killing kids, because they can not control a motor vehicle due to careless driving, speeding, running red lights and stop signs, texting and blabbing on cell phones.
All totally typical liberal traits because they don't obey the laws, and you'll be up there at 150,000 pairs of shoes just since 2012

>Cell phones have an actual purpose
What purpose ? To suck money out of peoples pockets that are on welfare ? To do the same with people who took out student loans and are not paying them back
Because they have to spend 200 a month babbling on cell phones
There out to be a law ! All public business places should be required to have a pay phone !
If its 1 dollar for 3 minutes that's all anyone really needs that can't afford a cell phone but HAS to have one because of the cell phone $$ hi jack of their money
No texting or talking or any use of a cell phone with the engine running or key in the switch or go straight to jail for 30 days, Now that will save more lives then any deaths from "assault weapons"
As far as guns can kill , what about Ted Kennedy's car once again. Guns are supposed to kill, if some thug invades your home or attacks you with deadly force or intent to rape anywhere

Yep...how many of you little fuckers have been hooked up for threatening your schools with more violence SINCE the parkland shooting.
Deeply affected indeed.
“Students all across the country who are participating in walkouts during school are proving that we kids are aware of the relevant issues in our country, and even in the face of consequence, we keep pushing for change we want to see.”
