The BTW Student Government Association unequivocally supports the student body's right and desire to protest. The movement that we designed for the #NationalWalkOutDay was stronger than words. It represented strength through action, love through silence, and hope through healing. The purpose of our movement was for the student body to have a voice, utilizing their freedom of speech, against a subject matter that has directly affected the lives of countless people, yet has indirectly had a toll on everyone else. It is important that society understands that the lives of the youth are just as valuable as the next person's, because they are the future of this country.
