In Response to Mass Student Walkouts, Conservatives Largely Stay Silent

As thousands of students were preparing to walk out of their classrooms Wednesday, kicking off a day of youth demonstrations over school shootings, President Donald Trump tweeted about infrastructure and “unfair trade practices.”

For the rest of the day, the president, known for sharing his thoughts on a wide range of subjects on social media, never acknowledged the walkouts, in which students in every time zone spilled from their classrooms at 10 a.m. to remember the victims of a shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., and to call for new gun laws.
