Everybody is entitled to what they are fighting for as long as they peacefully settle matters. This should be the case for any rallies, but things have not gone smoothly for Missouri students.
According to the Daily Caller, students at a high school in Missouri used riot-like tactics to cancel a meeting of a conservative club.
It happened at Lee’s Summit West High School in Missouri. Meetings for conservative Turning Point USA (TPUSA) swiftly deteriorated into mayhem in the school library.
A video of the occurrence has been shared online. In the video, students on the left arrive late for the meeting.
The leftwing students could be heard yelling and jeering at the TPUSA students as they tried to engage in dialogue. A school administrator had to call off the meeting because things swiftly spiraled out of hand with the leftist students’ refusal to allow it to continue.
It wasn’t long after that until someone was told to “come here” by a school administrator.
According to reports, someone flipped over and destroyed a glass table. That the perpetrator was a left-wing student “protester.” Several images of the smashed table have been shared on social media sites.
Chad Herzog, the school’s principal, addressed an email to parents after the event. What Herzog didn’t say is getting as much attention as he did.
However, Herzog did not specify that the meeting was canceled and that “a disciplinary matter” had to be dealt with, but he said that a glass table had been broken.
Even more disturbing, Herzog appeared to support the radical student riots.
The leftist students ” attended the meeting ” to express their dissatisfaction with the group, and the leftist students “attended the meeting,” as Herzog said. This, of course, makes it appear like the kids were behaving more calmly than the video depicts.
In the wake of the tragedy, TPUSA also released a statement: “When a conservative student group is attacked, the administration should take a strong stance to denounce the incident. Our heroic TPUSA students at Lee’s Summit West High School in the suburbs of Kansas City, Missouri, battled down the left-wing attempts to disrupt, intimidate, and eventually destroy school property to stop this meeting from happening.”
Disciplinary action must be applied to violent protesters, but the students’ voices should also be heard.
