Charleston's post-Columbine generation prepares for March 14 walkout after Florida school shooting
<snip.
"We grew up with cameras in our faces, we grew up with the 2016 elections, we were involved with politics and the women’s marches," Mardikian said. "This wave of high school students, I think it’s a lot different."
Teenagers at James Island Charter and Wando High have said they will join a nationwide act of civil disobedience organized by student activists and the Women's March Network, calling for legislative action to prevent further school shootings.
Wando High senior Carly Knight said a walkout at a school her size — more than 4,000 students by last year's count — is bound to be inconvenient, but it's worth it. - The Post and Courier, Charleston, SC
Healing, remembering, and standing with the survivors.
