Thousands of students at thousands of schools all over America left class at 10 this morning for a minimum of 17 minutes, one minute for each death by gunfire in Parkland last month. Commemoration, protest, call for action--the first such coordinated event.
They join the family of activism. They know the emotions that erupt in the event, the emotions that get focused for their cause. It's not dry politics--it's the head and the heart, it's the soul's statement. Many will find that they pay a price for their commitment. I honor them for what they did today.
