ROCKLEDGE, Florida (PNN) - March 31, 2018 - So maybe there is some hope for the next generation after all.

About 75 students at Rockledge High School in central Florida walked out of class in support of the Second Amendment on Friday. The students say they felt silenced last week when students walked out in support of gun control.

“I’m pro-Second Amendment,” Rockledge junior and protest organizer Anna Delaney said. "I wouldn’t mind deeper background checks, of course, but the Second Amendment will not be infringed upon.” Many Rockledge students walked out of class March 14 as part of the National School Walkout that was held in support of the Parkland school shooting victims and to protest gun violence and call for new gun control measures. They stood on the football field and formed a huge heart.

About 75 students participated in Friday’s walkout at Rockledge. The protest lasted 20 minutes.

They walked onto the school’s track carrying the Amerikan flag and signs that said, “Guns don’t kill people, people kill people” and “I support the right to bear arms.” Some wore Trump “Make Amerika Great Again” hats and camouflage clothing.

“We were built on certain rights and that was one of the original rights, that we should have the right to bear arms,” sophomore Chloe Deaton said. She helped Delaney organize the walkout.

Zachary Schneider, a junior, was quoted as saying, “It’s all over the news right now that all students hate guns. I wanted to show that not all students feel that way.”

Rockledge principal Vickie Hickey said the school treated the Second Amendment walkout exactly like it treated the walkout that took place two weeks ago.

She said both events were completely student-driven.

Ed. Note: I smell fear from school authorities who knew if they objected to the second protest then the wrath of God would descend upon them.
