OH, HERE IT COMES – AT 1:12 P.M. ET:  This was inevitable, and will be useless.  From College Fix: 

A petition and Twitter account have gone viral over the last few days in response to the Parkland, Florida school shootings.

The former, on Change.org, has at present almost reached its goal of 35,000 signatures. It’s calling on high school students across the country to walk out of class (and school) on April 20, the anniversary of the Columbine school massacre.

“We are the students, we are the victims, we are change, fight gun violence now!” the petition reads.

“High School students across the U.S.A, the way to fight back is here. There has been too much complacency on the part of politicians when it comes to gun violence. The time to act is now!”

It notes that President Trump “has not addressed any form of gun legislation” and that “the government does not hear or care how these tragedies affect [kids’] lives.”

The Twitter account National School Walkout already has over 50,000 followers and gets a bit more specific: The April 20 walkout will occur at 10am. It also was featured as a “Twitter Moment” on Saturday which, as you’d expect, was hyped by mainstream media types.

COMMENT:  Ah, a 1960s moment.  We must listen to the children.  They're so wise and knowing.  And, of course, the little wise ones take a dig at the president. 

Gee, you don't think the political left has something to do with this, do you? 

I can't wait for April 20th to see how many high schools allow their charges to just leave to become public-spirited citizens for a day.

Break out the pizza.
