“At John F. Kennedy Middle School in Northampton, MA, students have been talking with administrators about a planned walkout on March 14 — one to “honor students who have died from gun violence,” says Dinah Mack, the middle school social studies teacher and founder of the Youth Activism 101 blog.

These activities dovetail with Mack’s own classroom lessons on justice and protest history.” (more)
