Thoughts on this?

..surely all the ‘kids’ are saying though is that you didn’t keep us safe did you with your ‘adult laws’ on gun control...your laws contributed to our deaths...so now she’s saying, well hang on...we make the rules because ‘kids’ don’t dictate these things...even though our ‘rules’ haven’t worked, you haven’t been safe...if she wants to equate it to homework policies etc and trivialise it...then it’s the kids..(..the ones who are ‘at risk’...)...who would be rightfully saying...well we did all of the homework within your rules and we still failed our exams...so let’s try this another way so we can all ensure passes next time...the ‘kids are telling you to’...because the kids are the ones who not being kept safe and not feeling safe...so yes, listen to them you silly lady...
