I agree. It was influenced by adults failing to do their jobs regarding the shooter. It was influenced by the adult shooter. It was influenced by adults continuing to not do a damn thing about the issue of school shootings or gun violence in general other than "more guns." It was influenced by the adults in the NRA.
I know this wasn't what you were implying, but these movements are being led by the teenagers (and sometimes younger). They may get organizing tips and help from adults, but they are leading their own movement. This isn't the first time this has happened in this country, which is unfortunate, because it means that the adults are failing the children when they have to do this.
