STEM Students Refuse to Be Pawns for Gun-Control Agenda, Walk Out of Memorial Service Hijacked By Politicians
by MAX SLOWIK on MAY 9, 2019
When politicians at the STEM School Highlands Ranch vigil pivoted the memorial toward the subject of gun control, the students walked out in protest. Several hundred strong, the students chanted ?mental health? and jeered at the media.
What was supposed to be a vigil for Kendrick Castillo, the 18-year-old victim of the school shooting who confronted the shooters, protecting the lives of other students, became a platform for gun control when Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Michael Bennet and state Congressman Jason Crow took to the podium. The students stormed out when the speakers began to politicize their grief.
?This was not about us. We can do our own vigil,? said one student.
The Wednesday night vigil was organized and promoted by Moms Demand Action and Brady?s Team Enough, both gun control groups.
After derailing the memorial, students returned to the vigil to speak for themselves in an open-mic format to honor Castillo, two other students and the first responders for their work and sacrifice to stop the conflict.
The two shooters who were involved in the shooting have been identified but we?re not going to name them here. In addition to killing Castillo the two injured as many as 8 other students. Police are investigating whether or not the school?s security guard may have mistakenly fired at a student and the police in a panic.
While police have not disclosed the shooters? motives for the attack, at least one parent and one school official warned the school?s board of directors that the school was in trouble and that it could lead to ?a repeat of Columbine.?
The unnamed parent pointed out that the campus had a problem with student violence and sexual assault, and that the school was a high-pressure environment, even receiving a bomb threat. Douglas County School District official Daniel Winsor agreed.
Winsor wrote in a letter in December of last year to the school?s executive director that ?Many students are suicidal and violent in school. Several students have reported sexual assault in school and that nothing is being done.?
The executive director, Penelope Eucker, disputed Winsor?s concerns in a letter to the parents. She wrote that the school investigated the complaint and found no reasons to support the claims of the anonymous parent including the bomb threat.
The board went so far as to file a ?Jane Doe? lawsuit against the parent for the alleged defamatory statements. ?We want you to know the depth of this depravity and apologize if you find this as offensive as we did,? said the complaint.
The one perp is being charged with one count of first-degree murder and 29 counts of attempted murder. It is unknown his accomplice, aged 16, will be charged as an adult.

I applaud them when I see them.
I applaud you, STEM Students who walked out.
