Their childhood ended when they had to start going to school every day, knowing *that* day might be the day IT happens in their school.
No student or teacher should have to carry that gut-wrenching dread with them every day, especially with the knowledge that their own government leaders unapologetically value their lives far less than NRA bribes.
These are young adult citizens, new voters and future voters, and they are light years more mature and responsible than the so-called "adults" currently in charge.
