LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
Nationwide walkouts at schools across the country to demand action concerning party cannon control on the one-month-anniversary. Not only are reports coming in of some schools forcing students to walk out for seventeen minutes or more, but the entire movement is being marred by a counter-protest, Walk Up Not Out.
This editor tends to agree; walking out like this accomplishes nothing. I myself snuck down to the basement of the school to write this instead of marching up and down the street. We don't need a New Lunar Republic solution. We don't need a Solar Empire solution. We need an Equestrian solution.
Instead of walking out whenever something like this happens, we need to walk up to students getting bullied. We need to dragon-mail our princesses, telling them to put money back into mental health facilities, because that's where the problems start; we need to find out what makes these ponies want to go out and party.
You hear me, Princess Twilight? Put those bits into the Ponyville Insane Asylum and stop with that... "Cryptic Currency Mining" or whatever the fuck you call that mineshaft down the road from the castle. Nopony other than you is going to want to invest in Bitchcoin.
That's where it starts, students of Equestria. Because if you can be moved enough to walk out for party cannon control, but not enough to walk up to the weird colt or filly getting harassed, then this walkout is nothing more than feel-good worthless bullshit, and you're nothing but a politically correct asshat. This editor isn't blaming the victims, but she's sure as Tartarus calling them the fuck out for doing nothing more than patting themselves on the back.
