HS massacre kids to march on DC

Survivors will march on DC

Students who survived the Florida highschool massacre are channeling their pain into political activism — and already planning a march on DC next month.

The group of teens from Marjory Stoneman Douglas HS in Parkland, Fla., set the March For Our Lives event for March 24 in the nation’s capital .

“People keep asking us, ‘What about the Stoneman Douglas shooting is going to be different?’ because this has happened before and change hasn’t come,” Cameron Kasky, an 11th-grader, told ABC’s “This Week.” “This is it.”

The White House later announced that President Trump will host a “listening session” with “high-school students and teachers” Wednesday, exactly a week after the mass shooting.

But administration officials wouldn’t say whether Trump would meet with Stoneman Douglas students, one of whom furiously tweeted Sunday that the president needed “a damn heart’’ after he implied the FBI could have prevented the tragedy if it had only spent less time investigating his possible ties to Russian election meddling.

“Oh my god. 17 OF MY CLASSMATES AND FRIENDS ARE GONE AND YOU HAVE THE AUDACITY TO MAKE THIS ABOUT RUSSIA???!! HAVE A DAMN HEART. You can keep all of your fake and meaningless ‘thoughts and prayers,’ ” tweeted student Morgan Williams.

Trump’s listening session will precede CNN’s previously scheduled “Stand Up: The Students of Stoneman Douglas Demand Action” live town hall at 9 p.m. in Parkland with students and parents from Stoneman Douglas.

Anchor Jake Tapper invited Trump and fellow GOPers Florida Gov. Rick Scott and Sen. Marco Rubio, as well as two Democrats, Sen. Bill Nelson and Rep. Ted Deutch. Rubio, Nelson and Deutch have accepted the invite, though Gov. Scott has declined.

Kasky said the students hope their activism can create a “badge of shame” for politicians who continue to accept money from the NRA.
