The Dallas school district has apologized for not giving parents any warning or guidance before it sent elementary school students home with a Winnie the Pooh-themed book about what to do in the event of a school shooting.
Cindy Campos reads the book"Stay Safe" to her son in Dallas. Cindy Campos' 5-year-old son was so excited about the book that had been sent home with him from school featuring Winnie-the-Pooh that he wanted to read it immediately. But her heart sank as she flipped through the pages advising children what to do if danger is near, including locking doors, turning off the lights and quietly hiding till police arrive.
“It’s hard because you’re reading them a bedtime story and basically now you have to explain in this cute way what the book is about, when it’s not exactly cute,” Campos said. The district's decision to send kids home with the book has made waves. California’s Democratic governor, Gavin Newsom, tweeted: “Winnie the Pooh is now teaching Texas kids about active shooters because the elected officials do not have the courage to keep our kids safe and pass common sense gun safety laws.”
