4. These wonderful kids started this whole thing. |

If they lay a finger on any of them (Walker's Storm Troopers) they will regret it.

9. Wisconsin students are well-informed. They have a great educational system. |
|
Their teachers are top-notch as well.
Good for these students! Perhaps someday they will be our future civic leaders.

10. Any student who is serious about this, I salute them |
|
Any student who just wants a day off from school and to clown around should just go home and play video games.

12. Michael Moore was encouraging kids from every high school in the nation |
|
Sometimes it takes the kids to really get the ball rolling.. This has to go National or else we have lost..This has to become a true people's movement, one that shakes this country to it's core...I hope every kid in every high school and every college in the nation get involved..Kids influence parents....

first count was 800 from West Sr High & 600 from East High, and that doesn't include LaFollette, Memorial, Middleton, et al. Also, Cherokee middle high students walking out, and no word on the other middle high schools at this point.

They aren't even letting the media in, according to multiple Twitter reports, and are dragging people that slept in the Assembly hall to speak out.
