US- March introduces high school students to the politics of corruption

By សតិវ ​អតុ

A March for Our Lives took place today, in Wichita, and it was probably one of the largest marches I've seen in several years. One thing that stands out for this march run is that it was run mostly by, and largely attended by high school students. A few thousand people Marched from Park Elementary School to the old Sedgwick County Courthouse.

While there are some reactionary positions taken by the students, such as wanting the police to watch over our citizen's use of guns, there were thousands of students taking part in these marches across the country and they are getting a crash course in US politics. The significance of this is that young people are getting involved in political activism and on some level, it may bring some changes in the way young people view politics. They are angry at the NRA and there is plenty of reason to be against one of the most reactionary groups in the US today. Some students may arrive at revolutionary conclusions, years from now, as they take a serious look at the political system and its corruption that is woven into the system. So I don't think these issues are as important as the fact that some young people are paying attention to our political system and how it really works.
