Students across the country were encouraged Wednesday to engage in civil activism to to protest gun violence, even as some administrators banned students from engaging in peaceful walkouts or threatened punishment for the disruption.

At Booker T. Washington High School in Atlanta, students decided to take a knee and honor 17 seconds of silence during the National School Walkout movement. The students spread around their high school and took a knee at around 10:00 a.m., with some bowing their heads. In hundreds of protests across the nation, one minute was dedicated for each of the 17 people killed in the school shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on February 14.

2. I love these kids.

They inspire me. They give me hope. They cause spontaneous tears of joy to flow. Bless them.
