Still just heart breaking... Not only heart breaking - utterly disgusting and deplorable what happened. It sickens me. |

Every day the state of Texas fails to implement both stronger background check/red flag measures AND better support for mental health is an insult to the memory of those who were killed.
And the ones who died in Santa Fe.
And the ones who died in the Sutherland Springs church.
And the ones who died in the El Paso Walmart.
And the ones who died at an outlet mall in north Texas.
And on and on and on ...

Thank you for posting. I think of them often and follow a few of the moms on social media. Itâs still so heartbreaking so I canât even imagine how tough it is for the families.

2 years and still no gun control. I said after Sandy Hook if that massacre changed no gun laws nothing would. So very sad.

And on and on and on ... Yep instead the enacted unfunded or really way underfunded legislation requiring armed officers at every campus. I think they only funded around 16,000 per campus for this law. Ridiculous! Our chief of police told a group of campus leaders in my district that it costs around 100,000 to hire one office with salary, equipment and training. |

And my district has 273 schools and, like every district in Texas, is suffering from Abbott's refusal to release school funding because his pet voucher scheme didn't pass. |

This is from a commentary.. The GOP proposals for our future. Just a snippet! --This is why todayâs âconservativeâ advocates of the mudsill theory argue that âlower classâ children shouldnât be âover-educatedâ but, instead, sent into the workplace as early as practical. Thus, the Red state movement to gut child labor laws.--Quality education paid for by the state, they assert, should be kept out of reach of the mudsill class and only available to genetically âsuperiorâ students who are the children of the upper classes. Thus, the movement for universal school vouchers.www.rawstory.com/mudsill-theory/ |

Texas DPS officer reinstated on the recommendation of the Uvalde District Attorney Christina Mitchell... The one who held back info etc... Families are not happy!! The Texas Department of Public Safety has reinstated a Texas Ranger who the agency previously attempted to fire for failing to respond appropriately to the deadly Robb Elementary School shooting. DPS Director Steve McCraw said in a Friday letter to Christopher Ryan Kindell that Kindell could return to his former position now that the Texas Rangers had completed their criminal investigation of the shooting. No criminal charges were filed against any DPS officers. McCraw said that Uvalde County District Attorney Christina Mitchell, who convened a grand jury in January to investigate law enforcementâs delayed response to the May 2022 shooting that killed 19 children and two teachers, requested the reinstatement. Mitchell confirmed that she made that request, noting that rangers in Real County, Val Verde County and Maverick County had been covering Kindellâs territory while he was suspended. *** On Friday, McCraw wrote that he decided to change his initial decision âbased upon a review of the completed Texas Ranger criminal investigationâ of the shooting, âan internal investigation on DPS officers who responded to the attack, and subsequent to the review of the Uvalde Grand Jury.â *** Families of the victims of the shooting have expressed outrage over what they say is a lack of accountability and transparency following the shooting. Fridayâs letter was met with a similar sense of frustration. âNot only is it sick and disgusting that he is reinstatedâŚ..Our f---ing D.A. REQUESTED IT! How much lower will any of these people go to spit on our faces!?!?â Brett Cross, whose son was among those killed, said on social media.www.rawstory.com/news/dps-reinstates-texas-ranger-fired-for-uvalde-shooting-response/ |

I keep seeing posts that the Sandy Hook babies would have graduated this year. đ˘ This makes we want to sob. 2 years and still no gun control. I said after Sandy Hook if that massacre changed no gun laws nothing would. So very sad. In my state, less gun control. What kind of country is this? Seriously, the rest of the world wants to know how America could let our children be murdered and then enact laws that make it easier. |

The organization founded after the shooting was looking for someone in my field, I saw the ad for it on LinkedIn and just said nope, I can't do it but I hope they can find someone willing to. They do good work, it's just not a mission I can do day in and day out. |
