Thread Name: BS: present generation of student activism
Subject: BS: present generation of student activism
This thread is being opened because
this is the topic that interested me
in a recently closed thread about the subject of today's
"March for our Lives."

Argue, if you choose, that the subject is guns.
Student activism today certainly looks hard at the gun question.
But is the activism limited to gun control and Amendment Two?

Since I'm old enough to be post-menopausal myself,
it greatly interests me to watch
an entire generation of students,
just old enough to cast vote,
responding to the threats of violence, assault, abuse, and other forms of injustice.   

This opening post comes from the greater metro Boston area,
where the March for our Lives "sibling march"
began on Malcolm X Boulevard in Roxbury,
and proceeded to the Boston Common.

The radio soundbites (no television for me)
spoke of the countless school buses full of students from all over Massachusetts,
maybe some of them were in the New England area OUTSIDE this state?
