Last weekend, at a homecoming dance at Warren Mott High School in Warren, Michigan, police responded to multiple reports of gunshots. As it turns out, what the students thought were gunshots were in fact balloons popping. But who can blame them for being afraid? Our children live in a time where school shootings are so frequent that many in the public are becoming numb to the news when it happens. The best the government can offer is to treat our children like they are inmates in a prison—with metal detectors and armed guards.
To make matters worse, this is not even the first time this month that students and their families had to deal with a terrifying situation. Earlier this month, the school’s lockdown system accidentally went off, sending kids running out of the school.
When will enough be enough? When will we as a society decide we are tired of our children having to learn in fear like this and decide to change it?
