Will the Real Christians Stand Up                                                   Will the Real Christians Stand Up

              “I will also insist that every principal in Duval county do
         the same.” The students cheered and applauded as Adriana,
         Samaria and Katey smiled at each other.
              “And last but not least, I am going to have my secretary

         make as many consent forms as we need for your parents   to
         sign giving permission for you all to go to Tallahassee on De-
         cember 1st. in fact, your parents can come with you. Bring
         your lunches if you like but any meals purchased on the way
         to Tallahassee and back will be paid from the school’s trea-

         sury.” The students cheered. “Now again, we want prayer, we
         want prayer.”
              The  students  joined  in  chanting,  “We  want  prayer,  we
         want prayer.”

              “My little informant  informed  me of that this morning,”
         Agape said. “What do you all have in mind?”
              “We are planning a protest march,”  Adriana said. “Bril-
         liant, I like it,” Agape responded.

              “The march will be on December first and we’ve contact-
         ed every student that we could through social media, phone,
         etc. and the responses have been rapid,” Samaria said. “So
         far we’ve counted 2,300 students.”
              “Big number,” Agape responded. “Well, I guess it’s safe
         to say that I, along with the Youth Disciples for Christ, have

         touched base with over 7,000 youth over Florida.
              The girls cheered in excitement.
              “I wanted to surprise you and meet you all there, but you
