More guns in school is not the answer

This week, it was Nashville. Last week, it was my child's school district. In an incident you may have already forgotten, because more gun violence has happened since, a gun went off at a Denver high school last Wednesday, injuring two school administrators. The 17-year-old suspect was later found to have died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to police.

A mere day after the incident, the Denver School Board unanimously decided to allow armed police officers back into the city's high schools. This is in direct opposition to the removal of such officers from the schools, which was decided by the school board back in 2020.
