Here is what some commenters on theday.com had to say about coverage of the high school student demonstrations last week that focused on bringing an end to school shootings.

“Back in the day if it meant that I could get out of class for a while … I would have joined the protest to have the letter ‘M’ stricken from the alphabet.” —Wylie

“Great job kids, keep it up! Remember this time well in a couple of years when you are able to more easily effect change with your power to vote. And, nice job by all the reporters involved in this news story.” —Rich Lather

“While I doubt this will have an effect, it’s good to see something other than prayers. Since a majority of Americans, according to polls, support what’s being demonstrated and have for quite some time, sadly I must conclude that voting doesn’t do much of anything and certainly doesn’t make laws.” —Live Here

“‘The (New London High) gathering ended peacefully, after a brief snowball fight.’ Yeah, lots of meaningful dialogue and actions came out of that walkout!” —WTFD Resident

“How about walking out for the number of their own generation who died from drug overdoses? Or how about walking out for all those seriously injured or killed by their own generation driving recklessly? Many, many more die … that way than (from) a few psychopaths who shoot and kill school children.” —WillyNFD2004

“Bravo to the students across SECT and the U.S. today for raising their voices for change. Ignore the trolls. Keep up the great work. You are the future. Make sure you vote as soon as you can. You will be the change we need!” —E

“Way to go, students. Keep informed and involved as citizens. Vote in every election.” —Longtime Reader “Lemmings.” —MaxTorque
