My school has great kids but I don't think they "get it."
There were signs but only because some teachers led the way in their classrooms. Student government, who should have stepped up as student leaders, listened to the administrators and took a backseat in the protest. It was mostly organized through student social media and although the majority of the kids there knew the issues. You couldn't feel much conviction in the air if you know what I mean. The student group was joined by what I'm guessing were members of the PTSA. A bunch of parents with #enough and #keepourschoolssafe printed on their shirts.
No incidents. Very respectful. Lots of honking from passing cars.
