H.S. students across Iowa walked out of classes Wednesday to protest legislation they say discriminates against LGBTQ people.Hundreds of Iowa students took part in a school walkout Wednesday to protest a slew of proposed state legislation that they say discriminates against LGBTQ students.
Jemma Bullock, a member of the Iowa QSA, said the group is leading walkouts for two reasons: to educate students about the bills under consideration in the state Legislature and to get the attention of the lawmakers behind those bills. Allison Steffen, a senior at Marion High School, north east of Cedar Rapids, and Hannah Neuville, a junior, said the walkout they organized at their school felt empowering. They said about 70 students and teachers joined them.
“We are watching this legislation closely and are deeply concerned about its potential impact on members of our campus community,” the statement said.
I can't wait till they're old enough to vote 💙🏳️🌈
In Africa we protest against any legislation seeking to allow such satanic practices, God created Adam and Eve, not Adam, Steve and Eve. America is of the devil.
How does it discriminate? Can they go to the school of their choice, the doctor of their choice, work at a job you choose, go to the library, let them play sports. Doesn’t do any of that.
it’s truly sad that Iowa and NBC”news” are celebrating sexually groomed and brainwashed children
The power of brainwashing kids to stand up to anti science and and human propaganda Anyone who tells children that they can change genders should be arrested for child abuse What else do u expect from a pedophile and child abuse ring as large as the public education system
Most are just getting out of school. Most don’t give a crap!!!!!
If GOP wins the election in 2024, could we have another Ohio State?
Got'em brain washed.
Get a grip, loosers.
What exactly is the discrimination they think will happen. Gay and trans folk have the same exact rights that non gays have. We don't give a shit if someone is gay or trans. All we on the right want is sexuality not being forced on our children.
Gilead Sciences loves this. We wonder how many Democrats hold strong equity positions.
Hello...? Lawmakers Iowa? Bueller, Bueller? Bueller? These are your future
Grow up, get a job , get some life experience, then I'll still wont give a fuck. Lgbtq should get their own schools and normal kids there's.
Democrat Neo-Bolshevik Perverts! Lovers of Cancel Culture, Lovers of Censorship, Haters of Constitutional Liberty. Indeed, make our young into Brown Shirts. You Fools!
Kids being used by weirdos.
Do it on a Saturday at 8am and I'll listen.
These bills make sense. Why is it teachers can talk about sex at their work and I cannot?
This generation does whatever their phone and tv tells them to do.
Democracy huh?
And other have the right to speak against you too! Why do gay peoples think they are the only ones who have any rights?
Until someone gets hurt, then opinions will change.
Bwahahaha legalized ditching
Shut up till you pay taxes.
Yeah, the average 12-13 year old there has no idea what the issues are. They know they can skip a day of school LOL......
Wait 18-30 year old want student loan paid off. Said (I Didn’t Know what interest was.) But you want me to listen to 12-17 year olds? 🤦♂️ YIKES.
Teachers grooming students again. DeSantis was right all along.
Nice biased reporting NBC. Did you tell us thing one about the ‘proposed’ laws they are waisting other students time protesting.
Who cares? We are losing more people to fentanyl than automobile accidents and gun violence combined. Biden says we have over the horizon capabilities. Send 2 F35’s to destroy the cartels infrastructure. Stop allowing our children’s future to die because of your politics.
they may want to look into Kent state before they become so cocky.
How does 1% of our population get so much attention?!? What’s your secret?!
Ummm😏👇
These are our future voters. The republicans are only giving them reasons to not vote Republican.
Students would walk out of class to watch someone cut the grass
Ok. What evs.
Keep them walking right down to the front lines in Ukraine. They can have all the equity and inclusion they want there.
So marching for Christ at school is fine with you. I mean what's the difference.
cool my friend is jumping off the bridge so ill do it !!
If i walk out for anything i got suspended or detention. stupid entitled kids. Protest on your own time not school time.
Yeah that's was controlled by the teachers!!! Fire the fucking Groomers
You mean to tell me kids would leave school when given a pass? Why not show sit-ins where students stay at school in protest. See how many students support that then.
Had to do some searching to find this report presenting both sides of the debate.
ADULTS, STOP EXPLOITING THESE CHILDREN!!!...
I'd be more impressed if the administrators of these schools held an assembly with representatives from the state legislature from both sides presenting their case. That would be education.
I did that once and the school skipped summer school entirely and got me a job at McDonald’s.
They haveNO idea what they r protesting.Irreversible surgeries &suppressing growth.Thank god Shiloh had good parents who let her do her thing without this surgery. She spent most of her childhood dressing as a boy. Now that she is a bit older,she’s blossomed into a feminine teen.
Using children to further division is pretty sad .
Hundreds hun? At like 30 schools, that quite a turnout. Hard hitting story there NBC..
Their friends are doing it, so it's cool. They're kids after all, so I don't take it very seriously. I saw this same kind of thing 55 year ago when I was in high school, so I have a good idea of how much deep thinking is behind it.
Fooled by liberal media and social-democratic propaganda.
But thousands may walk out in support of the legislation. Take that wokesters!!!
Good for them. Be heard.
'they say' -- no, your job as a news org is to analyze the legislation. And in fact it DOES discriminate
No, the students could care less!! They are just looking for another reason to NOT be in class!! They ain’t learning shot other than CRT/Transness anyways!!!
God Democrats are such groomers 🤷. What the hell is their obsession with sexualizing kids 😳
Pffft
I'm perfectly fine discriminating against males that think they are females. Women need to start supporting this as well. Keep them out of female spaces.
Meanwhile, the DNC's FBI finally admitted to the China virus' origin. China killed millions, for 4 years now the left's response: was jan6, you're racist, and the dossier... because DEMOCRACY!
Proud of them.
Homosexuality has been observed in gorillas.
Good for them sticking up for classmates. Everyone needs a little more of this.
Fail them all
Good for them. Glad to see them standing up for themselves.
Keep your ass in school That's why I hate government schools, their teachers are always training them to be little protesters. We don't pay our damn taxes so that they can be indoctrinated by the teachers union especially, We know MSNBC and NBC would be cheering
The s generation better vote democrat or life will be changed dramatically
7 deadly sins!!!!
Groomers hard at work
Good for them!
