"In a wave of demonstrations reaching from Arizona to Maine, students at dozens of U.S. high schools walked out of class [yesterday] to protest gun violence and honor the victims of last week's deadly shooting in Florida," AP reports.
Why it matters: "The protests spread from school to school as students shared plans for their demonstrations over social media."
Peter Hamby, host of Snapchat's "Good Luck America," tweeted:

- "We are witnessing a political case study unfold in real time. Everyone in Washington should be paying attention."
