And kudos to your son! That's so wonderful to hear. Sounds like he's a great kid who's learned what's important.

I found this when doing research for another thread. Before the walkout, I read in the local paper that most schools around here were participating with the support of the school. My local school even planned activities so that the middle and elementary kids could take part in some way, too. But I read about one school, somewhat north of here, that had threatened the students with suspension if they walked out. I was looking for follow up when I found this story about the governor. I don't know if any of the northern area students walked out, but I was very proud of Governor Cuomo for stepping up in support of the kids!

BTW, the school pictured in the article is my local one, went there for three years.
