Hundreds of military children who are students at Defense Department schools across the globe walked out of class Thursday to protest book bans, curriculum changes and restrictions on extracurricular activities that have resulted from the Trump administration's crackdown on diversity.

The walkouts, which included about a dozen schools on U.S. military bases in Europe, Asia and at least one stateside, represent the biggest collective action military children have taken since the start of the Trump administration to demand a voice in their own education after similar, smaller-scale walkouts in February and March.

And the protests happened despite a warning from defense officials and school principals that participating in widespread school walkouts could mean unexcused absences, detention and restrictions on sports participation.

Why would it matter what the parents think?

From the article:

"As a parent, I'm very impressed," Smith added. "Most parents are saying 'there is no way this is student-led' because they are so organized, kind and respectful. But knowing some of these high schoolers, I believe they are very capable of doing something this incredible. I'm proud that this is what our future leaders look like."

Good.

Hopefully America's military will do away with bullshit traditions like Chain of Command, Civilian Rule over Military, and following orders.


I wonder if that helps or hurts "Putin!"?

:)

Love it!
