Last week I said I didn’t believe these student protests in support of gun control were genuine<\/a>.<\/p>\n

David Hines at The Federalist confirms this<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“… On February 28, BuzzFeed came out with the actual story: Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz<\/a> aiding in the lobbying in Tallahassee, a teacher\u2019s union organizing the buses that got the kids there, Michael Bloomberg\u2019s<\/a> groups and the Women\u2019s March<\/a> working on the upcoming March For Our Lives<\/a>, MoveOn.org<\/a> doing social media promotion and (potentially) march logistics, and training for student activists provided by federally funded Planned Parenthood<\/a>.\u00a0 The president of the American Federation of Teachers<\/a> told BuzzFeed<\/a> they\u2019re also behind the national school walkout, which journalists had previously assured the public was the sole work of a teenager …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
