In my 69 years, I have never (or wanted to) taken part in a march, boycott, public demonstration, or anything like those. Sure I have been mad about civil rights, Vietnam, corruption, etc etc. But - I let others handle (or not...) those issues.
Now, might be old age or time on my hands -
if our TV Charter School formed a march or such on this issue....I would join them. I'd make my own sign -unknown what I would actually say on it...) and proudly walk along to support those kids and their families. No idea what defensive/safety measures the TV school has taken, but I would bet it's above average to others. Of course from what I read the FL Douglas HS was pretty well prepped.
I have 6.5 g-kids across the USA and they will be/are facing this tough issue every school day. I can only imagine sitting in a classroom with this on your mind. I will not simply sit on my hands if I'm made aware of a march or such. And my intent to join would be simply to be part of the force for intelligent change. And, not focusing on our school or local gvt.
