Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach picked a fight with the wrong group of student activists.
Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach lashed out at a group of students protesting against gun violence Friday, telling them to stay in class and study the Second Amendment.
Kobach made the remarks Friday morning, as tens of thousands of students streamed out of their classrooms as part of a National School Walkout to demand action on gun violence.
The demonstration which comes just weeks after the student-led March for Our Lives marked the anniversary of the 1999 Columbine massacre.
After observing a moment of silence to honor victims of gun violence, students from Topeka High School headed to the state Capitol to make their voices heard by lawmakers.
They were greeted by Kobach and a crowd of armed protesters who had gathered on the steps of the statehouse to exercise their right to terrorize children.
As the young activists held signs and chanted from the nearby lawn, Kobach stepped up to a microphone and began mocking the students for engaging in politics at a young age. At one point, Kobach ridiculed the students for wanting to talk about their ideas for public policy.
Because you know, when youre 16 years-old, you pretty much know everything you need to know, he jeered..........................
