"A group of students at Grosse Pointe North High School is refusing to participate in the school’s walkout on Wednesday, saying it resembles a pep rally controlled by district administrators.
“On Our Own Terms” was the headline of a student-written editorial posted Monday on Twitter by 11 student journalists with North Pointe, the school newspaper. In the piece, students accuse the district of “pushing talking points” onto student organizers for the event, which was organized nationally to focus on demanding federal gun reform.
Students Lindsey Ramsdell and Abbey Cadieux, both seniors at the high school who work at the student newspaper, said Tuesday they are disappointed that the planning process and message has been taken out of student hands for the walkout at 10 a.m. Wednesday at the high school."
