Nationwide Walkout NO GUNS scheduled across the country.

MARCH 14TH 10:00-10:17 AM in each time zone

Educators, parents, students, everyone who wants to stop the gun violence allowed to continue in the US are walking out of school and work. Here is the link sponsored by the Women's March. See if there is one near you. I am a former teacher and union rep and there is one at my local Ed Center in San Diego. See if one is near you and if not start one.

When is this walkout?
Also, if teachers are allowed to carry arms, I ain't never going to school again. The Internet is fine by itself as an educator.

As an educator you "ain't" getting the same education at home. There is more to an education than info obtained "at home". Education continues throughout your life time through various experiences. It is cultural, environmental, social, etc. It is not merely facts and memorization. If you really believe it is the same as being educated at home and is equivalent than you are definitely limiting your education whether or not you are 5 or 95 years old.

If you do not want to attend a school where teachers are armed than get active and do your best to prevent it. Teachers DO NOT want to do this either! No sane person does. RESIST!
