Hello everyone! I hope you are all surviving this stupid "education is a bad thing for kids who want to learn" week. So, I know after the tragedy at Florida, a lot more students in high school (including myself) have started to become angrier about the lack of gun control in many areas of this country. There have even been people setting up this "National High School Walkout" thing based on this idea that missing out on an education would help solve this issue; it is likely going to appeal to many students at Lexington High School as well. However, I must tell you that staying in school and actually learning stuff is more likely to solve this gun issue than walking out, which will likely give you a detention at the very least.
You see, as you enter the doors of LHS every morning, you are getting this beautiful thing called knowledge. With knowledge, you become prepared for college and can even get a degree in law and be able to solve this issue!

I know that last statement was probably very controversial to most of you, but that is because most of you are spoiled U.S brat children who do not understand how privaleged you are to have an education.

As a feminist, I have an obligation to attend school whenever I can because girls are being denied an education at a far greater rate than boys. Malala Youzafai, as I trust you all know, was shot for being a girl who wanted to go school; that did not stop her though. There are so many children, especially girls, who must risk their lives to attend school, and that does not stop them
