Hello Minneapolis Issues: I want to take this moment to boast about my son Isaac Bradley, who attends Field School and has participated in the protest.
He told me the teacher had the students vote if they wanted to protest. The teacher told them to make signs reflecting their opinion. I am very proud of my son to speak his opinion. Apparently 150 kids walked out of school yesterday in protest of the war. The Principal told me, "They did not see this coming!" I think it is truly amazing that middle school kids have the strength and courage to speak out against this war!
