":National School Walkout: Portland students planning Friday rally and march to City Hall" By Eder Campuzano | The Oregonian/OregonLive | Posted April 17, 2018 at 01:25 PM This up coming Friday, April 20th, is the 19th anniversary of the Columbine High School shooting.these students in Portland going to Rally down at the City Hall in march. The students that are putting this together being very secretive about where they’re going and all the details towards this. The students decided it was best for the faculty to know the smallest amount just so they stay out of the way. They are trying to show that this is a bigger issue that is being considered. They want to bring attention to gun violence and put a stop to it. This is not only taking place in Portland but is happening all across the country. students from the Portland will not get excused absences on Friday. it’s not playing all schools but does for them. The original idea was to walk out on Friday not come back to school until the gun laws were adjusted. A lot of holes not plan so now it is just to walk out and her pay respects towards people who have been affected I gun violence. As for my opinion on all the walkouts it is that I feel like definitely getting the worlds attention, is it really going to get the government change their minds? I don’t know what else we really could do to convince these biased adults and we all have our own opinions but it’s really hard as a youth to be heard by the authority. A lot of adults think that the youth get over events very quickly, that we won’t stay on long enough to make a difference. They’re just waiting until we run out of energy. I don’t see an end to this fight anytime soon. I don’t think students to be punished for walking out on Friday. I say this because they’re standing up for what they believe in and that’s what even taught to do. it’s in a peaceful way and not harming anybody. I will comment on Sofia Mertz and Andrew Dafnis blog posts.
