‘The children of America aren’t going to wait any longer for the country’s adults to lead’

HECHINGERREPORT | Enough is enough.

Instead of standing on the sidelines waiting for someone else to take action after the horrific school shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, my classmates and I have gone ahead and taken action ourselves.

The children of America aren’t going to wait any longer for the country’s adults to lead.

That is my conviction and it keeps me going in this fight for a better and safer world, for all students, teachers and administrators.

That is why here at Belleville High School, we’re determined to take the lead as students walk out of school March 14 to protest gun violence.
