While on the one hand it is nice to see youth engaged, yet on the other the BLM is a self-proclaimed Marxist organization according to the founder as she stated in 2015. A Marxist organization is akin to communism. As noted in the novel, "Animal Farm" some animals are more equal than others. The irony is that communism would place these young girls in a "re-education" camp, or gulag if they protested in a communist country.
The Police are the least of the problems. They are a convenient scapegoat. The problems stem from a combination of the breakdown of the family and a lack of a belief in God.
Because at 15, they know so much.
Why don't they stay home and protest in downtown Fryburg.
