FL Students Who Begged Gov't to Take Their Rights Away, Now Angry Gov't Took Away Their Rights
Parkland, FL — After the tragic shooting in Parkland, Florida last month, a group of anti-gun high school children became the darlings of the anti-gun movement. They were given widespread coverage and platforms on all mainstream media networks to call for the disarming of Americans. They were sanctioned by the government to do so—and now they are getting what they asked for—less rights.
In the Land of the Free, marching for change used to mean that you were standing up to the government to demand more or equal rights. Fast forward to 2018, however, and it is the exact opposite.
The mainstream media and the government tells us that these students are brave for walking out of class and demanding change—but how is it brave to be used as a tool of the state?
Activism involves challenging the establishment and what these kids were tricked into doing is not activism.
Earlier this month, millions of students across the country were encouraged by the government, mainstream media, and even their own school systems to walk out of class and demand the government take away their rights. It was, by no means, a challenge of authority and, in fact, it was a celebration of it.
Schools across the country not only sanctioned it, but they supported it and actually punished those who chose to abstain. The walkout was little more than young people conforming to government authority by parroting the government-approved message in a government-approved venue—even at the government-approved time.
The message was simple: we want this government to take our rights away.
Young Americans across the country marched to demand less freedom from their rulers and the mainstream media, celebrities, and politicians alike shoved this down our throats as some grassroots heroic political activism. However, it was the opposite, and now even the cheerleaders of this movement, David Hogg, Emma González, et. al., are beginning to realize what happens when you beg the state to take away your rights. They take away your rights.
On Friday, the Broward County School system announced its plan to violate the students' right to privacy be implementing a clear backpack policy.
"Clear backpacks are the only backpacks that will be permitted on campus," said Broward County School Superintendent Robert Runcie said in a letter sent to parents.
Now, all students will have to allow anyone at anytime to view the contents of their backpacks as well as wear IDs so they can be properly identified by school authorities.
These new measures now have the darling activists on the defensive.
"I'm not happy with it. Why are you punishing me for one person's actions?" Tyra Hemans, 19, a Stoneman senior, told CNN on Friday. But this is exactly what they wanted. These students wanted to punish the tens of millions of law-abiding gun owners by demanding the government take away their right to defend themselves—all for the actions of one person. Now, they are getting a taste of their own medicine, and it stinks.
“It’s unnecessary, it’s embarrassing for a lot of the students and it makes them feel isolated and separated from the rest of American school culture where they’re having essentially their First Amendment rights infringed upon because they can’t freely wear whatever backpack they want regardless of what it is,” Hogg said.
Trampling the 2nd Amendment is just fine to David Hogg, but touch the first, which is upheld by the second, and you are a tyrant.
“One of the other important things to realize is many students want their privacy. There are many, for example, females in our school that when they go through their menstrual cycle, they don’t want people to see their tampons and stuff,” he explained.
“What we should have is just more policies that make sure that these students are feeling safe and secure in their schools and not like they’re being fought against like it’s a prison,” he added.
The irony of the students' ignorance is astonishing. Luckily, there are still many people out there that see this irony and are calling it out.

"I feel like our school is now a prison," Nicholas Fraser, a 16-year-old Stoneman student said. "It doesn't feel like home."
Indeed, when you advocate for only government to have guns, you are making the entire country a prison. Bravo young America, you have successfully asked for fewer rights and you now have fewer rights. Hopefully, this serves as a wake-up call to those who think it is somehow heroic to punish law-abiding Americans for the actions of a single deranged lunatic.
If this ridiculous astroturf activism is not called out for what it is, these are the folks who will be responsible for creating the horrid police state that comes from their selective definition of "freedom."
Here at the Free Thought Project, we find it is important to note that when you say, "I believe in freedom," you don't follow that sentence up with the word "but."
Decades of fluoridation and social engineering are now paying off for the cabal. Society is now dumbed down enough, ready for the next step into the "Brave New World". Being old, my only consolation is that I will not have to live in the world they are creating for themselves. They have to. But it is very sad to observe...
You and me both, brother.

AMENDMENT I
FREEDOM OF RELIGION. SPEECH, AND THE PRESS;
RIGHTS OF ASSEMBLY AND PETITION
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Perhaps you mean the Fourth Amendment?
AMENDMENT IV
SEARCH AND ARREST WARRANTS
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
I can understand poster boy for the tide pod generation not getting this correct. However this being parroted by someone who's craft is explicitly protected by the First Amendment is something I find concerning. I won't get into the questions this makes me wonder...
It's pretty clear these days that few people have ever bothered to read the Original Constitution and it's Amendments. Let alone understand what natural rights are and that those rights are not limited to or granted by words on paper. They serve as a reminder to the limitations of government.
Aside from that obvious oversight, I'd say the article made a good point.
Procter & Gamble needs to print the Constitution on the back of all packages of Tide pods.
Was gonna call that out, but you beat me to it and did a better job than I would have. I was only going to point out that the boy didn't know about the other amendments. He sees no problem with unreasonable search, so long as fashion choice is upheld.
Unfortunately, I have seen this parroted by numerous other "news" outlets. It really is concerning seeing how unaware even the voices with the furthest reach are. It's as if people are moving so rapidly forward that no one has the time to even think anymore.
Awareness seems paramount to freeing ourselves from this sideshow. If we allow ourselves to get swept up in the madness, then the game is already decided.
Now I understand why he is so upset about it, he doesn't want anyone seeing his tampons.
The Parkland kids are actors as proven by a movie they all made together in June 2017. A movie clip featuring over 5 of the media rolled out teens features a character that also looks, strangely like Nikolas Cruz.

Hey kids! See what happens when you trust your government? Geez, what idiots you are... #smh 0.o
Left-wing dumbasses. This is the stupid face of collectivism. And this doesn't even address the fraud "student" who's making the media rounds crying for gun control, David Hogg.
The "entitlement generation," growing up having everything handed to them and never being held accountable for what they do... So they squeal like little pigs when someone takes away their trophy. My question is where are their parents?
Amen. You never know what you have until it's gone.
Love this:
I was taught that when you use the word "but," you negate everything you just said before that. Try the following:
"I care about you, but..."
"I want to help, but..."
"I'd like to quit smoking, but..."
Want to be credible and speak the truth? Any time you are about to use the word "but," erase the half-truth you were about to say and ask yourself what it is you really mean to express.
