But then I have a child who is a student who participated in one and a nephew that participated in another and I am not simple knee jerk posting due to political and personal bias but rather from being informed on the event.

In my experience, several local students traveled a few hundred miles to observe a peaceful 'sit in' that they organized at our state capitol . Nothing whatsoever with "radical groups." Not mischaracterizing that would be great.

I have read comments all day (not here, on objective forums) about the pros and cons on this movement. Whatever happened, it was influenced by an adult.
What this really is not a call for an agenda, it’s not an agenda driven march, what it is about is a lot of photos of a lot of young people, standing around saying they hate gun violence so a bunch of leftist politicians can claim they are standing with the children and pushing for vast gun confiscation regimes. The NYT basically admits this in heir editorial pages .

They want the children to lead us. Which is fine except I don’t see the times turning over their editorial board to teenagers. I’m sure they will run plenty on whether homework is necessary.
What exactly does this March stand for?
