Colleges in These States Are Pledging Support for Students' #NeverAgain Movement for Gun Control
High school students across the country have rallied together to call for gun control and reform in wake of the Parkland, Florida school shooting that killed 17 people on February 14.
Many are protesting under the #NeverAgain movement, and intend to participate in the March for Our Lives demonstration on March 24. The movement has raised millions of dollars and ushered in legislative talks, including a listening session with President Donald Trump and a CNN-hosted town hall with politicians such as Florida Senator Marco Rubio.
In response, more than 190 U.S. colleges and universities—or officials working for those entities—have issued statements that students applying in the future or those already accepted to their programs will not be punished for peaceful activism, according to a #NeverAgain Colleges website, which tracks such statements.
