Samuel Gressitt Marilyn Icsman USA TODAY Published 5:58 p.m. ET Feb. 21, 2018 The article “At White House, students call for gun control as part of national protest” is about student protests. This article is about students that are protesting gun laws to prevent future school shootings. This protests took place in Washington D.C. in front of the white house on March 21. The protest was held by students. These students came from schools across the country to protest in response to the most recent attack that took place in florida. Students lay on the ground out front of the white house to represent the students that were killed. The protest took place when Trump was meeting with students parents and teachers where he promised to have tougher background checks and mental health checks for gun purchasers. These plans will hopefully prevent any future attacks similar to the ones in the past. This is hopefully just the beginning of restrictions. I think that protests like these, especially when young adults are the protesters it really stands out and makes more of a difference. Hopefully protests like these will continue to happen and students will proceed to use the voice they have. I think that if people continue to stand up against things that are wrong than they can make a difference. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/onpolitics/2018/02/21/white-house-students-call-gun-control-part-national-protest/360663002/ I will comment on Olivia Trussell and Oliver Scott's Current event blogs.
