Energy gets a lot of attention

We’ve seen so much energy on display at school board meetings and on social media locally and across the country the last couple of years

Energy regarding mask wearing

Energy regarding school closures

Energy regarding vaccinations

Energy regarding LBGQT issues

Energy regarding books in libraries

Often angry energy

Wouldn’t it be something if we saw the same sort of energy directed toward the issue of school shootings? Do you think it might generate more action and urgency from state and federal leadership?

Schools and school systems will do whatever they are able to do to prevent school shootings: armed officers, redesigned vestibules, hostile intruder drills and training, buzz in systems, one click/touch 911 notification. Schools will eventually become fortresses, which is just a matter of time…but there is only so much schools can do.

We need energy, parental energy, to get meaningful results.
