A house sits amid the rubble of crumbled walls and ceilings caused by one of the earthquakes aftershocks last Wednesday in Adana, Turkey. Several students at Palo Alto High School say they believe that the Turkish government could have improved and enforced building codes towards preventing the severe, long-term damage of the natural disaster. One student in particular is junior Sarp Kendirli, who said it has been hard for him to watch his homeland suffer from the effects of the seismic activity. “Watching it on the news, seeing it on the television, it’s hard seeing the people of my country suffer in such devastating circumstances,” Kendirli said. “But what hurts more is the mismanagement that has been seen throughout this event by the government that has led to the most loss of lives. The disorganized response has left many under rubble for days throughout the cold, below-freezing nights that Turkey has right now.” (Photo: Source name withheld, via Sarp Kendirli)

Palo Alto High School junior Emma Donelly-Higgins speaks about the walkout she is organizing for March 14th in the wake of the mass shooting that occurred Wednesday, where 17 people were killed after a gunman opened fire in Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. Donelly-Higgins is one of many student activists across the country organizing student-led walkouts and marches in support of tougher gun control laws. Our goal is to get as much attention as we can about this issue across the country, Donelly-Higgins said.

Could the Parkland school shooting be the final straw?
