HUGE Sign Just Went Up That DISMANTLES Every Entitled Student Who Walked Out!
Since the tragic shooting in Parkland, Florida one month ago the gun control debate has been
raging in our country.
Conservatives and Democrats have been embroiled in a bitter dispute over the second amendment
and if more laws on the books would curtail gun violence in the country.
As the debate rages on social media platforms and in the mainstream news, thousands of school-age
students in America banded together to form a protest of their own by walking out of classrooms
yesterday afternoon.
The protest was called National Walk Out day and was applauded by Democrat leaders, and
gun control advocates in America who are pushing for what they call "common sense gun reform,"
and are busy using the youth to promote their agenda.
However, one teacher in America had another message to send to students participating
in this walk out that dismantled their argument perfectly and is a lesson that all teenagers
should hear.
For the past several weeks, teenagers on social media have been busy promoting a National
Walkout Day in their schools to protest gun violence in the country.
Political pundits and celebrities have helped with the promoting of this demonstration as
a way to further more gun control laws in America.
Though not all adults in this great country of ours felt that this was an appropriate
message to spread and that it fails to address the real issue plaguing society.
Jodie Katsetos, a school teacher in Virginia, decided that she had a better answer then
advocating for children to walk out of class to protest an issue that is much more complex
than people realize.
Katsetos posted a sign on Tuesday, ahead of the scheduled walkout an alternative to the
mass protest that she feels speaks to the real issue in our country.
Here is more from ABC News: "One middle school teacher offered a unique message for
her students ahead of today's National School Walkout.
Jodie Katsetos, a sixth-grade teacher at Arcadia Middle School in Oak Hall, Virginia, wrote
a message on a large poster board in her classroom that read, "Walk Up Not Out."
Katsetos told ABC News she first got the idea while researching information about the national
school walkout and found a positive message that resonated, which she adjusted for her
own students.
I adapted the message to fit areas of concern in my school," Katsetos said, adding that
she wants her students to be able to participate in both the walkout and the notion of the
"walk up."
The message lists five things students can do to promote a positive classroom environment.
— "Walk up to the kid who sits alone and ask him to join your group."
— "Walk up to the kid who never has a voluntary partner and offer to be hers."
— "Walk up to your teachers and thank them."
— "Walk up to someone and just be nice."
"I am adamant about it staying positive," she said about the dual messages of the walk
out and walk up.
"I'm not pushing either.
I made those suggestions as alternatives to walking out and just an everyday reminder
to include others and be considerate, which is something that I talk about with students
each day."
Katsetos first posted a photo of her walk up message on Facebook and the post has been
shared more than 285K times so far.
The ENOUGH nationwide walkout honors the 17 Parkland victims, one month after the shooting
at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.
More than 3,100 walkout events were registered around the country as of this morning, according
to event organizers.
The school's principal Brian Tupper declined ABC News' request for comment on Katsetos'
message.
Accomack County Public Schools did not immediately respond to ABC News' request for comment."
Many people who have seen this post have responded with positive remarks, but there are those
on the other side that feel it is sending a dangerous message.
For instance, Romper a millennial parenting site states that discouraging students to
walk out for this protest is essentially bullying students into staying silent about the supposed
increased gun violence in our nation, and also victim-blaming.
Here is an excerpt from Romper: "But the "walk up not out" message fails to address
what has made school shootings a now "normal" part of the United States education system:
easy access to high-powered weapons.
Furthermore, insinuating that children are responsible for mass gun violence because
they simply don't take the time to "befriend the lonely kid" is not only victim-blaming,
it's dangerous.
We, as adults and educators, should not be encouraging our children to put themselves
in potentially dangerous situations with a potentially volatile student for the betterment
of everyone else.
If a student is violent, they're violent."
It's not surprising that many others felt the same way and shared their thoughts about
it on Twitter.
No matter which side of the argument you find yourself on there is no reason that promoting
the youth to be kind to others is a bad idea.
The gun control debate will continue but educating our children to be kind is something we all
can get behind on, don't you think?
What do you think about this?
