https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/mar/14/walkout-students-gun-violence-parkland-florida<snip>
Thousands of students poured out of classrooms in the US on Wednesday in an unprecedented expression of mourning and a demand for action to stem the countrys epidemic of gun violence.
In a stunning visual riposte to the public inertia that has followed mass shootings in the US, crowds of students at an estimated 3,000 schools across the country marched on running tracks, through parking lots and around building perimeters, carrying signs that read Enough and chanting, Hey hey, ho ho, gun violence has got to go.
Wednesday walkout: students step out of class to spur action on gun control live
The walkout fell one month after a student gunman killed 17 people at Marjory Stoneman Douglas high school in Parkland, Florida, in the deadliest high school shooting in the countrys history. Survivors of that massacre joined other student activists to organize Wednesdays demonstration, which was promoted by the Womens March movement that sprang up after the election of Donald Trump.
