Round Rock students stage walk-out to protest gun violence

gathered in front of the campus, taking time to remember the names of the students who lost their lives due to gun violence.

Round Rock High School student Berkley McConnell felt it was very important to educate her peers about "common sense gun laws.""On January 26, 2021, there was a shooting at my mom's office," Round Rock High School student Berkley McConnell said. "The shooter's name was Bharat Narumanchi.""It was a hostage situation, so he brought a bunch of guns, zip-ties, and he brought pillows, so he can cover the sound of the guns," said McConnell.

Since that traumatic event, McConnell has participated in Students Demand Action, an activist group committed to ending gun violence. "I think kids don't realize that this can actually happen until it does," McConnell said. "I feel like it does educate them because honestly it happens every day, and I'm really happy they are willing to communicate and connect because it happens, especially in Texas.""My sister wants to be a teacher less than a few weeks ago," one Round Rock High School student said.

Teachers don’t teach, they just groom kids and organize political marches.

That’s that new gen. So soft

I can’t remember why we did walk outs when we were in school, but we did every now and then. Just a reason to leave class honestly for most of us. Anyone remember why kids would walk out for in the 80’s and early 90’s?

I’m glad.

Probably for the same reason I enthusiastically participated in fire drills when I was in school.
