I agree. I think many underestimate gen z. They have been quietly paying attention since they were little and now it’s time to act. They fully understand the power social media has and how to use that to their advantage. I live in a fairly small town, less then 10k people, but it was the highschool students who organized a peaceful protest march. They handled every detail and a teacher just monitored them. They planned the route to march, where to have people park, hydration stations, shouted uplifting chants they thought of themselves and even got the mayor involved. Seeing the impact they made and the amount of people who came to support the cause and support THEM, it brought tears to my eyes. It gave me hope that our country will get better, especially if Gen Z has anything to do with it.

Protestors take note: These graduates did it perfectly. They drew attention in a way that they cannot be accused of taking away other people's rights, or causing damage to property, being "violent," being "vulger," being "apathertic," or even being "disruptive." They voted with their feet: showed up dressed up, and walked out with decorum. Their silence spoke loud and clear, and did not leave any room for criticism. And that made it all the more powerful. Thank you for the lesson.

Someone once asked me what my favourite TV show was and I told them it was The Wonder Years. I was the same age at the same time in history so the music and events were a parallel of my life. Although I lived in South America and we did not have to protest it at the time, the episode where the kids walked out of school to protest the Vietnam War really resonated as we were starting to become aware of the fact that we did not understand the way in which the politicians were thinking and behaving but that it was going to have a great impact on our futures if we did not do something.

Great, leaders of the future are getting sick and tired of republicons.

[@macleadg]

What disruption is he talking about? No one said a word, no one did anything harmful, they simply walked out silently and peacefully. It’s called freedom of speech and these students exercised it.

[@Avrysatos]

Well it was letting him have his freedom of speech. It doesn’t entitle him to an audience though.

[@rjcarter2904]

No republican wants the opposition to have freedom of speech, while they themselves exercise their lies continuously.

[@dianacryer]

It’s only a disruption if they don’t like it.

[@PriscillaRobb]

Well, at least they walked out quietly and not screaming on top of their lungs. Kudos to the graduates! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍💐

[@rondaniels9974]

But MAGA and Trump's tactics haven't been devisive at all.... Nope.

[@jimkonen1913]

Nothing sends more chills up a Republicans spine than a thinking and educated group.

[@vh6307]

For SURE!!!

[@tomricketts7821]

That’s why trump said he loves the uneducated and the repubs are continually trying to limit young educated students ability to vote

[@user-tz4in5ox3r]

Well said!😊

[@stevensines7026]

I salute them all for standing for their principles.

[@netizen_a]

I hope they all vote💙

[@VengefulAngeI]

That was awesome! Well done VCU students! 🙌🏽

[@Liedaho]

Rape, guns and sedition are more important to Youngkin than their future. Why stick around for his abusive speech?

[@jrrarglblarg9241]

Three word slogans play well with the magas, but they haven’t gone so far as to chant that one in public yet. Yet. 🫤 I’m adding it to my bingo card.
