Students in Virginia have walked out of their schools in protest/support of their LGBTQ classmates because the republican governor and his administration/party are targeting them for political pandering purposes in the run-up to the mid-terms.

I am so glad that people are standing up to bigots and bullies. It's about time.

I am sure it was an educational experience. Much more beneficial for their personal growth than one day in class.

Brought to you by the moment that spacetime began.
How is the anti-LGBT agenda relevant to this school enough to where they'd walk out in protest? Was the school staff picking on the LGBT crowd or what caused this?

Be honest with us; what are your thoughts on LGBT rights?

I have no horse in that race. So my thoughts are essentially neutral on the matter.
I don't support nor condemn it.
Right-wing politics = intolerance for diversity.
The governor is Younkin, who made a point of being anti CRT in education, but he won a close election. He is exploiting right wing rhetoric for what he can get from it. If the public wants more bigotry and intolerance, keep voting for republicans.
It's great to see young people standing up for diversity and freedom. They will be ready to vote soon.

Very much so. Talk to any activist they will educate you.

Understanding their rights and standing up for them is pretty damn important.

what is the governor doing? Nowhere in the video or this thread has explained what they are protesting.

Agreed, generally speaking, just as long as it doesn't create special classes of people possessing/granting distinct advantages over others and creating new disadvantages.

What does this have to do with preventing discrimination against LGBT students?

It has to do with liberty, just as you mentioned prior.

So are you saying protecting LGBT students might infringe upon someone else's liberty? If so, whose, and how?

You don’t think these issues should matter to the students? That they shouldn’t care about civil engagement or the fair treatment of their fellow students?
