Education Secretary Betsy DeVos’s visit to Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., where a shooter killed 17 people and left many others wounded, was met with criticism by some students.
After news broke that DeVos would be going to the Florida school on Wednesday, a number of students took to social media to express their thoughts, with some talking about a walkout.
Here were some of the student responses:
Literally no one asked for this https://t.co/79A54IbIht— Sarah Chadwick// #NEVERAGAIN (@sarahchad_) March 7, 2018

NBA star Dwyane Wade on Wednesday visited Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., to meet with students who survived the mass shooting there less than a month ago.
“I just wanted to come and say I’m inspired by all of you. I’m proud to say I’m from this state because of you guys,” Wade told a group of students gathered around him.
The Miami Heat guard stopped by the school just hours after Education Secretary Betsy DeVos visited.
These students clearly recognize when somebody is genuinely impressed with who they are and is concerned with their well being.
And when somebody is simply using them for a photo op.
