I'll go there. Where did the White House recruit the students for Trump's

"listening session"?

Is it correct that while some of the kids were from Stoneman-Douglas, others were from private and charter schools?
Is that why DeVos was there?
Is that why it started with a lengthy prayer?
Why were none of the vocal and passionate politically active Stoneman-Douglas students present?

One last question: Do they REALLY think we're this stupid?

than that, there was way too much thanking Trump. For what? Because he says he's going to do something to help them? Of course he won't- look what happened with the Dreamers.
