March For Our Lives has a new video showing a child walking a group of adults through an active shooter drill and it's beyond upsetting.
, released a stirring video to support the passage of Senate Resolution 42, the Background Check Expansion Act. The idea behind the law is that closing dangerous loopholes in gun sales will mean less of a need for our children to practice survival skills at school — aka, active shooter drills.
The woman introducing Kayleigh as the event’s guest calls her an “expert” when it comes to active shooter drills, and clearly, the assembled co-workers are expecting an adult, maybe a cop or member of the military.“If there was an active shooter, you’d all be dead,” she says matter-of-factly to the group of uncomfortable adults. “When you talk out loud the shooter can you tell where you are and where you’re hiding.
Anyone who hasn’t had their child get off the bus and casually recount a shooter drill as a part of their school day possibly thinks this video is melodrama or an exaggeration. I assure you it’s not. My oldest child is in sixth grade and has been participating in active shooter drills since shortly after the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
I remember getting choked up and feeling anxious during fire drills as a child. Now, our kids are being trained to listen for clues to a shooter’s location and to stifle their own cries in case he lurks behind their classroom door. My son excitedly told me in his first grade year that he was “the kid who got to stand on the toilet” because he’s the smallest. You see, his class of 22 kids had to hide in their classroom bathroom for shooter drills.
Sick to your stomach yet? Ready to take action? That’s exactly what the March For Our Lives organization is trying to do. “Instead of passing laws to stop guns falling into dangerous hands, politicians have forced millions of kids to become experts in survival,” they said. “Let’s make enough noise so that politicians have no choice but to embrace gun reform and protect children from gun violence.”
