Jo An you have just written what the rest of us feel, somewhat more eloquently I might add.

The situation in America is dire. If I were a parent I wouldn't send my kids to school until every gun had been retrieved, the industry closed down, and these devils are out of puff.

Nor would I send my children to lock up schools. What is that telling them?

Our children are children for such a moment in time. They deserve so much more. Prayers and thoughts don't quite cut it.
