So you had some walkouts yesterday. I guess Olathe Northwest had another one yesterday after a kid got jumped last Friday outside of Olathe Northwest for protesting the anti-ice protests. I didn't hear anything out of Olathe Northwest, so it's good to hear no one got beat up yesterday. Just a bunch of kids who, you know, don't want to do math and learn how to read and write and things like that. You know, the things that actually matter. But then we also had a middle school in Olathe that had a walkout that didn't get any attention in the news yesterday. But this is happening, sadly, all across the region, all over the country for that matter. So, and Olathe Middle School has this walkout yesterday. And, you know, we know some of the people involved in the school. So, we got some intel as to what exactly happened. So, I know some of the people. Mark knows some of the people. What do we have on the details on this front, Mark, and where this all went? Yeah, so from my inside source, they said that the attendance, so they did the walkout during seventh hour. They left halfway through the last class of the day, and the teachers didn't take attendance until halfway through class, so those students would be counted as absent. So teachers were trying to be proactive about making sure. So respect for the teachers who basically said, you know, we're not going to let you check in and be present for class when we know you're going to walk out halfway through for your little walkout. Working the system. Yeah, good for the teachers. That's a great job. Great job by the teachers. I know people are looking for a reason to lump the teachers into all of this. But you know what? When we get great news like that, I want to make sure that we share it here on the show. That's a testament to those teachers. So the kids decided to walk out, and they were going to do their protests in the open field by the busy road, I guess you could say. and they encountered some adults that were not happy with what they were doing uh the kids i guess were told to go back to effing class uh there were some middle fingers thrown from the adults toward the kids and then they decided to move their protest from there to the track and they marched around the track I guess for a while So they kind of got thrown off on their protest Okay. I am even more disappointed in the adults than the kids. If you are an adult and you are showing up to a middle school to protest a bunch of 13-year-olds, get a life i mean get a life find a hobby it's the same thing i say to the people standing out there every saturday protesting ice at whatever that is 435 and 87th street in lenexa get a life find something to do with yourself go volunteer at a non-profit get involved with your church there's something for you to do that doesn't involve yelling at 13 year olds okay my i'm even more disappointed in the parents or i don't even know if they're parents they're just they're just adults who are out there yelling at middle schoolers and flipping them off and dropping f-bombs are you kidding me wow that is beyond disappointing you want to go protest adults that's one thing if your kids who want to protest your fellow students that's one thing if you just show up i mean what time would this have been two o'clock in the afternoon give or take around three i think what are you doing go get a job i mean i guess you could work like us where you have an early shift but mad you have got to find something better to do with your time than protesting middle schoolers as a grown man and a grown woman i know people don't even stand up what they're for it's like you don't protest against the people protesting you protest the opposite of what they're protesting not them their viewpoint yeah especially with their kids well yeah and not even against kids to your point they children man but even when you don don show up and point at the blue hair just have your opinion yet go trump yeah that true and like we said yesterday i mean these kids were going to do it last week and then it was too cold so they don really even know what they protesting well of course i mean they half the kids haven't gone through puberty yet of course they don't know what they're doing so just let them be if you want to have beef with someone have beef with like we've talked about an administration a superintendent that has been very lackadaisical it seems like in this process and has allowed the inmates to run the asylum and even the teachers i can't get on the teachers if mark's sources are correct and i have no reason to believe that they're not they made sure that these kids were marked absent which is all the teachers can do if you want to take it further you've got to get the principal involved you've got to get the superintendent involved the teachers did everything they could do it seems like in that moment i mean there's there's only so much that they have power over and i have the utmost respect for them in using their power to say, you know what? At the very least, I'm going to make sure you're marked absent for this. So good for them. Yeah, if you're trying to teach them government lessons. My kid's got like a picture ID when they're in school, right? You get a photo ID, right? Have them register to vote. Maybe you're voting the principal out. Just have fun. Show them how an election works. Voting out the principal. Yeah, right. How many of them would do that? Let's elect the custodian as the head of the school. Yeah. That's something they could get behind. Well, in some cases, probably would do a better job of the custodian. Wow. Okay. He may not need the pay cut. Yeah. Oh, man. I'll tell you what. That's something else. That is so disappointing to hear. But nothing really shocks me anymore. We are in an insane environment right now, especially with this issue in particular. 913-408-7957 is the text line and the studio line here on KCMO Talk Radio 95.7 FM. Streaming all morning long, of course. on the kcmo talk radio app the tune in app and the iheart app so if you missed it we started off the show this morning talking about how the mayor pro tem in kansas city is under investigation by the FBI That Rihanna Park Shaw and her husband the director of public works Michael Shaw Mayor Lucas told us last hour that he knows absolutely nothing about it. He has not been interviewed by the FBI. As he said somewhat jokingly, he wants to keep it that way. But this is someone who wants to be the next mayor in Kansas City. She has announced a mayoral bid. And it's always been, to me, a conflict of interest when you have someone in the city council voting on her husband's budget. And now, according to Fox 4, the director of public works has been soliciting donors for her campaign with maybe a little wink, wink, nod, nod of how can I help you if you do donate to the cause? and to be clear this is not like a trump doj going after a blue city this investigation from the fbi has been going on in kansas city per fox 4 since january of 25 when the last guy was around but that is absolutely something that we've got to keep an eye on here on kcmo talk radio start your day with a morning jolt of drake c tol you've never been a football coach before so you're not allowed to talk about this no i can have burnt mozzarella sticks and say the chef's Not working.
