Central students part of national walkout in tribute to 17 killed at Parkland school shooting
Willow Tolle wants to remind people that a school shooting can happen anywhere.
The Central High School senior has been through four serious lockdowns at her school, where she feared for her life.
That’s why her classmates are joining with students across the nation at 10 a.m. today in a national walkout in memory and in protest.
The walkout is a tribute to the 17 who died in the Parkland, Fla., shooting, while also call to action in the name of gun violence.
The walkout will take place for 17 minutes.
“Each minute is representative of (someone) who lost their life in the Parkland shooting, raising awareness for student safety and the safety of our public schools,” Tolle said.
Tolle, who is helping organize the demonstration, added that students will walk out of school, around the block and protest on Losey Blvd.
The La Crosse’s school district said the day will go on as planned and those who leave will be marked as unexcused.

In 2016, 374 people were killed by all types of rifles. Four times that many were killed by knives. One million lives were intentionally terminated by the democrat promotion of abortion. Practicing a ban on sexual relations (abstinence) cant possible prevent these killings we are told.
Opioids are banned and controlled. The death toll is 60,000.
Alcohol induced deaths $33000
Alcohol liver disease 21,000
Suicide 41, 000
We are surrounded by mountains of death. All we can walk out of school for is molehill of death.
The mountains of death are happening overwhelmingly in democrat controlled cities. Let’s walk out of school for good reasons. please.
