Jeez, what a numbnutz:
"To the average American observer, tens of thousands of students demanding an end to gun violence is an act of courage and inspiration.
But not to South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster.
McMaster looked at the students who participated in Wednesdays National Walkout some as young as 10 years old and decided to blast the kids for protesting instead of praying.
What these students should do, McMaster said, is to pray, to hope for the families of those who were slain.

No need for gerrymandering, voter caging, changing polling places, decreasing voting hours, changing voter ID laws, just pray to GOD that the other side does not vote.

Their doctrine was the best explanation available to nomadic tribes wandering the desert thousands of years ago. We have better information.
Governor McMaster is an arrogant tool. Using his office to direct people to pray rather than protest is a violation of the Constitution. It is time to send these small-minded neanderthals need to be sent back to their caves with their holy books.
The protesting students are demonstrating much better critical thinking than their governor.
Stay the crap out of my life with your fairy tales!
