Going to high school in northern Virginia was so academically cutthroat for no reason. Kids were taking all AP classes duking it out to get the highest class rank. All to get into the same colleges and work for the same 5 consulting companies anyways

Black Lives Matter is a Marxist movement disguised as racial unrest. These thugs are delivering ultimatums to businesses & schools: Do as we say, or burn. These “demands” were posted by Marxists at James Madison University. We fight now, or lose America to violent communism.
