Far-left group calls for students to walkout of school on Wednesday to protest abortion
Categories: US Education News
A youth-led group called Generation Ratify is injecting public schools with far-left activism, particularly pro-abortion protests, a parents group told Fox News Digital."[Generation Ratify] lured thousands of Virginia students… to participate in… rallies… called a ‘mass youth mobilization to defend abortion,’" the report from Parents Defending Education said. It also explored the possible interconnectedness of high-level woke groups and Generation Ratify."Radical intersectional activism is infiltrating schools through social justice clubs like Generation Ratify,". Last Monday hundreds of students in Virginia, led in part by Generation Ratify, walked out of school in protest after the draft Supreme Court opinion on Roe v. Wade was leaked to the public, sparking outrage that abortion rights were being targeted. The walkouts led the state's attorney general to criticize the actions, saying the students had a right to protest, but that they shouldn't be doing it during school hours. "When you're in school you don't have the right," he said. "They're not supposed to be disrupting other students who are trying to advance their academic career." And on Wednesday, Generation Ratify intends to stage a nationwide walkout in support of Roe; including in states such as New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Georgia, Washington D.C., Nevada, Pennsylvania, Maine, Texas, Illinois, Indiana and Massachusetts."American students are in absolute crisis right now," Neily said. "And… we see schools that are hijacking our students for social-emotional learning and all these social justice aims."Generation Ratify said it was looking "organize Young Virginians in the fight for reproductive justice." Their ultimate goal is to build "an intersectional feminist revolution" and "dismantle patriarchy," according to the report.
