High School students in the U.S. held a walkout with 17 minutes of silence to commemorate the last school shooting which took 17 lives. They were protesting the lack of gun control in the U.S. Sounds altruistic, right? But then some proceeded to tear down the American flag!
This generation of Americans will be in charge of the country in a few years and, if they already have no respect for it, how will they govern it? How will they participate in building up the country they live in if they don't respect it?
There were numerous videos on Facebook showing the teens disgracing their own flag and the sight was terribly disturbing. Their flag represents all that is good in their country. It represents the men and women who have gone before them and sacrificed their lives to give them a free country to live in. It represents a country that immigrants crave to call home.
If a citizen has no respect for their country, how can they continue to take the benefits offered by that country? Their schooling is provided by American taxpayers. You can bet many of those students come from welfare families who live off the backs of working citizens. It makes no sense to bite the hand that feeds you.
This country is in deep trouble and it seems to get worse every day. When I read that illegals are sheltered and using the school and health systems and some even receiving welfare payments, it proves that even the politicians are not following the laws of their own country. When I watch the political battlefield where there is nothing but infighting and bickering instead of these well paid hacks doing what is best for their country, I see a country that is deteriorating before our eyes.
Some would love to blame all of this on Trump and the proliferation of guns but these problems have been building for many years. People are elected or hired because of their skin color instead of for their ability. And that goes both ways! Politicians have access to billions of dollars and have very little accountability in where it goes. Scandals are rampant...there seems to be a lot of perverts being elected.
Respect for anything has become a lost value. And, if that is the belief of enough citizens, then anarchy is not too far away.

I could only find one incident, not “numerous”
And illegals are not eligible for welfare or health care (except emergencies)

I should have said that students from other cities chose to destroy and loot businesses during the walkout. Semantics don't matter here...the total lack of respect for their community and country does matter.
As for illegals being unable to collect welfare, I've read that some circumvent the system in order to collect it illegally. This shouldn't be a surprise since even legal citizens earning good money still manage to collect welfare at the same time. The system is broken.
So because a handful of teenagers out of thousands act stupidly, you would judge the thousands? Sheesh.
And where did you read it? Simply not true. How do they circumvent the system? Unless they have illegal documents, there is no “circumventing the system”, that’s illegal access - different than what you implied - that illegals had access to the welfare system.
Of course I'm not judging all teens by the actions of a few but to see so many disrespecting the flag of their country is horrifying. And "circumventing the system" is damned easy for way too many people. Of course it's illegal but you know it's happening. Don't close your eyes to the fact that your government is not running an honest operation. The everyday news will tell you it isn't!
