This is hopeful. Extremely proud of these kids for putting action to their convictions.

drawsacat.bsky.social•76 days ago

Bravo

mccombgjm.bsky.social•77 days ago

Wonderful! I encourage protesters to say the words... Diversity Equity and Inclusion. DEI is their term, force them to own their petty faux grievance.

mis-mannered.bsky.social•77 days ago

If MIDDLE SCHOOLERS get it....

vintagemuckabout.bsky.social•77 days ago

Good for them! Hegseth is a dishonor to the DOD.

xailai.bsky.social•77 days ago

Good

This is what all Americans should be doing. But of course they aren’t taught the history lessons of 30’s Germany the way it’s taught in actual Germany. These students would have toured Auschwitz’s and Dachau and understand the warning signs, and they see that Trump and this minion is a reinvention

Probably the best for their safety. Who knows whether our DUI hire secretary of defense might drive a Humvee through the wall of the classroom.

Middle schoolers who are braver than elected Republicans.

canadiancreed.bsky.social•77 days ago

Smarter too

weswie-114.bsky.social•76 days ago

God Bless those students. I am sure the Military Police were taking pictures.

mcdeelite.bsky.social•77 days ago

As a military spouse with a middle schooler myself, I am so proud of these kids!!! There is huge pressure on military families to not speak out against the military or the President. These kids are brave and awesome!!!

warmgingertea.bsky.social•77 days ago

As a Vietnam era brat this is hard to imagine. I’ll be stunned if the military parent isn’t called on the carpet. But I love these kids!!! Used to live at Patch.

More backbone than a lot of Senators

Also here in the German newspaper. The pupils attending the protest asked for covering of their identity, because they fear MAGA and actions against them.

Other countries protest more than America does about America

willowkimura.bsky.social•77 days ago

💯 You beat me to the comment.

iflysolo2016.bsky.social•76 days ago

YAY for them!!!

po58.bsky.social•77 days ago

It will come out of the hides of their parents. A report of each will go to the commanders of their parent.

estabon-vadesi.bsky.social•76 days ago

Next week we'll read about how their funding was stripped and the base shuttered leaving them w/ nowhere to live. This is the government of vengeance. Small, small little men.

funnynora.bsky.social•77 days ago

This pleases me. 😊

barksdalecliff.bsky.social•77 days ago

Middle schoolers… more courage than most adults..

granyk.bsky.social•76 days ago

And the children shall lead us…

This is the first, and hopefully last time I say this.

Good for them. An educated society.

joeybthinks.bsky.social•77 days ago

He isn't supported by the people he supposedly works for. This ain't Fox news network anymore, this is the real world.

charmpurecharm.bsky.social•76 days ago

Don't mess with DODEA schools. I attended dodea schools for all but my last 3 yrs of high school. They rival the top school districts in the US in scholastic rigor. Great teachers, by design diverse (makeup of the military), extra curriculars, and respect for the foreign nation one is in.

Hey, MAGA Jesus freaks --

"...a little child with lead them."

The kids are going to stop this madness. Just you wait.

The kids are alright

cogman62.bsky.social•77 days ago

My military kids and state department kids doing the civil disobedience thing! Go my little brothers and sisters! You get it! These kids are alright.

He's fucking with their education and, therefore, their future. He's lucky they didn't have rocks and sticks.

bluebabe58.bsky.social•76 days ago

Our children will be our future if they get one.

bamamom.bsky.social•77 days ago

Bet we don’t see this on any major American news outlets

halexruz.bsky.social•77 days ago

Amazing, as young as they are, they can see what type of person he is, but a majority of their parents who are serving there can't. Maybe there is hope for the future. 🤔

Please help spread the word #presidentsnotkings protest this Monday. Let’s read out the Declaration of Independence at every state capitol in the country

jackin503.bsky.social•77 days ago

Respectfully, your hashtag needs capital letters. I read it as president snot kings 🤣
#PresidentsNotKings

iflysolo2016.bsky.social•76 days ago

Well, he IS a SNOT king! 😄

estabon-vadesi.bsky.social•76 days ago

Elon's demon seed made it so....

fight4peace.bsky.social•77 days ago

Good call! 😂 let’s try this again. #PresidentsNotKings

Hopefully, this cold will be gone by Monday so I don’t make my original hashtag seem too on the nose, as it were.

jackin503.bsky.social•77 days ago

Feel better soon!
