BEN SHAPIRO: I have been getting legitimately dozens, scores of messages, probably a hundred since yesterday, of students who are disappointed at the way they feel they've been bullied into joining the school walk-outs.



What I suggested is walk out with your friends, and hold up signs that say things like “Standing with children, standing with the Second Amendment,” or “protecting our lives, arm law-abiding people.” I mean, the media put forward this message -- and they've been doing this for years, but it's really, I think, accelerated in the last few months, and particularly in the last few weeks.



They've been putting forward this message that if you disagree with them on gun control, then this means you don't care enough about the kids, and now they are activating these kids, and putting them out on the front lines, and putting them in photo ops, so that they can essentially use them as political human shields.
