Kids I care about have gone to these things. Grown adults are showing up to harass - “roll coal” in the kids faces, throw things from cars.
Mustang public schools suspended all children who walked out, with support of the governor of Oklahoma.
People almost seemed to get a hard on at the idea of hurting these children in Facebook comments.
Isn't Tulsa the place where white people massacred the cities Black population because they were doing better than the white people economically?
This isn't surprising. Back in the 70s, people cheered as college students were murdered at Kent State and construction workers attacked protesting students.
The USA is a sick and dying country, has been for decades
The kids are learning early why it is the greatest country in the world.
Sugarcoated Oppression
They'll frame these kids as woke communist agitators, and the rest of the country will eat it up and hate the kids.
Tulsa Public Schools Campus Police
WTF…
How long until a school shooting is done by the police?
Uvalde may as well have been
America is bad. Like, we're living through it, and we can attest to the fact. But red states are even worse, with bottom rankings in quality of life, education, affordability, and opportunity. But obviously that's the fault of the Democrats (who aren't in charge)... /s
Bringing the country to order. HAIL TRUMP! /s
Apparently chemical weapons are now in the hierarchy of punishments that can be used against students for noncompliance in red states. Briefly, of course. For their safety.
If we have to kill our students to keep them safe, we will! /s
I'm sure that won't radicalise the kids at all (!)
Being Oklahoman I'm not surprised the fascist governor and the pigs of Tulsa for doing this. Only bright side is these kids will now be radicalized and we need the youth on our side.
Exactly. All these MAGA Apes are doing is turning OK blue in 10 years.
Exactly I don't know many young people who aren't at least progressive. Hell my youngest son who isn't political at all calls himself a socialist. Gen Z and maybe Gen Alpha Could save us, but only if we fight. Because the fascist Maga are doing everything they can to kill the planet.
While the kids I meet doing Ubering are the most polite riders I have, I had the unfortunate experience of working in a rural gas station some years ago. Some were open Nazis do the salute and were not ostracized by their peers.
My 26 year old sees nothing wrong with Socialist, and even Communist idealogies.
When you've grown up with MAGA being the representation of Democracy, alternating with the mind-boggling fecklessness of the Biden administration, and that's ALL you know about Democracy, when NOTHING is working, no wonder other political systems start to appear reasonable.
I've always thought that most of the best things about American life were Socialist anyway - Schools, libraries, parks, fire departments, etc. We should expand that part of our system to include more stuff, like Health Care.
The passive voice is so obvious and out of place
Don't scare them too much or they will go massacre a town full of black people...again
I wonder what part of their Student and Family Guide to Success includes "peaceful protest will get crowd control ordinance used on you". I'm sure it was for "officer safety" or some ACAB bullshit like that.
Cops are all impatient little bitches. If you don't comply, they escalate just because they can't fucking wait for someone to calm down.
There is very little that a student could do to justify pepper spraying them, and I’m damn near 100% positive this is a case of the student doing none of that.
Where was the danger to justify using pepper spray?
ACAB. Cops are on the side of the ruling class. Expect to see increasing violence from them as we push back more and more against the Epstein-supporting ruling class.
For any cops out there, you should resign and get a job which actually helps society.
They also groom kids on discord to do school shootings and then hang back on the stoop on the school to let them do it.
Hey now!! You're only saying that because we've seen them do it. If there's one thing this administration demands of its citizens, it's that you absolutely must NOT believe your own eyes.
We CARE about Safety so we PEPPER SPRAYED CHILDREN!
Dear Parents,
In order to keep your children from getting injured, we injured them with chemical weapons. One of them was injured so badly that they had to seek medical treatment for the injuries we caused.
You are welcome.
Sincerely,
A bunch of violent psychopaths who are looking for any reason to hurt people.
Its oklahoma. Where they tried to put trump bibles in all the schools. Not sure what people were expecting.
Redstate shithole doing redstate shithole things
"Why are fertility rates falling into the abyss?"
Teaching the kids they are living in a fascist hell hole. Noe that is some education right there.
The state superintendent is supporting an initiative to have Turning Point USA chapters in every high school. So these actions are not a surprise if that is what state officials want.
Guess that explains why this message by the schools isn't in support of the students.
Sorry kids, but lessons in fascism extend beyond truancy.
