Mere weeks after the deadly shooting at a Parkland, Florida high school, and mere days Trump backed down on gun control after pressure from the NRA, students from across the country plan to walk out of schools on March 14. They are demanding gun control and school safety. How are the protesting students responding to Trumps proposal to arm teachers?
