There are so many conflicting accounts, made by the same people, of this issue. It makes me hesitant to trust anything said by the Trump administration. Do you think the administration is credible in anything anymore? #mchslang19

I didn't actually know there was such thing as the Freedom March. It's surprising to me that some people are still so vocally anti-homosexuality. In this day and age, does it surprise you? #mchslang19

@AnthonyJ2019 This specific case seems pretty isolated, but represents a larger problem, which is the persistence of racism/violence/organized cruelty. I hope that instead of just throwing these people in a jail, their community from receives some support to ensure this doesn't happen again.

@mchsConnorO I agree with the sentiments expressed by the Parkland students. The NRA's decision around Pence's speech seems incongruous with the positions they took following the Parkland shooting and other massacres.

As the author points out, this is especially shocking to those of us who are children of immigrants. How has the American Dream changed? Would the threat of being separated from your family discourage you from immigrating/applying for asylum?

How important is it for everyone to see a monument such as this, not just people in historically Confederate states? Should the priority be an education of naive people or redemption/liberation for people more exposed to extreme racism?

@laurenmcookie Testing women's testosterone levels and forcing them to make serious changes to be eligible to compete is like measuring pianists' hands before a competition and damaging their last digits if they have extra-long fingers. Individual diversity is what makes sports/life interesting

[Olivia K @okmchslang]

@swimmingscoobs I agree with the author. However, I wonder if every person who commits such horrendous crimes is as clearly disturbed/dangerous as Cruz was. I think there need to be better systems in place to recognize children's problems before they become blatantly apparent and harmful.

Does the more frequent occurrences of attacks, terrorist and non, discourage you from going into public places? Restricting your actions based on fear only feeds into the hands of terrorists, but when is pragmatism and safety more important? #mchslang19

As we come closer to making decisions about our jobs and adult lives, how should information like this affect our choices? Where should we draw the line between trying to do good and trying to have enough money to survive?#mchslang19

@CiteThatSource (2/2)However, that brings up an interesting question about the purpose of this award—does Amnesty truly want to honor the most remarkable activist, or is it simply a tool for them to get their name into more places and more people's minds.

[Olivia K @okmchslang]

@CiteThatSource (1/2)Although it would be nice if AI highlighted less known human rights defenders, by awarding Kaepernick the honor they expose a lot more people to their work; people will be interested in anything he's involved with, and so will end up being interested in Amnesty.

@cashewfrog Although "beauty standard denialism" is certainly not a fix-all approach, I think its more constructive and productive in combatting beauty expectations than doing nothing, and possibly more effective than confronting the industry head-on as the author discusses.

[Olivia K @okmchslang]

@generic__names I think companies definitely do this intentionally. As the guy in the video explained, there are no regulations restricting how companies can manipulate consumers to spend more time on apps, etc. Do you think we should just accept being "used" in this way?

@ash_inAP Although interesting, I don't think this simulator is very beneficial. Almost everybody knows of or can imagine the effects of a nuclear bomb, and if world affairs came to the point where a country was about to drop a nuclear bomb on another, moral issues wouldn't stop them.

[Olivia K @okmchslang]

A lot of this issue, and the decisions we're faced with when thinking about it, comes down to who we trust more: Comey or Trump. Do you think any of us (non-adults uninvolved in politics) have the authority to believe one or the other? #mchslang19

Should Trump be involved in the review of his lawyer's seized materials? What do you think the national response would be if something incriminating was found in these documents? #mchslang2019

How important do you think it is that Facebook and similar companies have tons of personal information? Should we just accept it as a reality of the digital age and move on?

Teachers are being armed with small bats to protect students and be "symbolic" of the new reality of school shootings. I don't think I would feel safer if my teachers were armed with bats, and to me, they symbolize the wrong thing. Thoughts? #mchslang19

@Elisabeth_MCHS @WSJ I would like to think that the inventors and marketers of juuls really meant the product to be a tool to help people quit smoking, but in reality, they are just trying to make money. It is not surprising to me that juuls were created to be appealing to teens.
