IN OUR SCHOOLS
a gun is fired on school grounds in the United States two times each week. what if we had the power to reimagine what safety in our schools looks like? shifting this norm often means thinking radically, but with a clear path in mind: this is about our lives. from metal detectors to school ID badges to airport security-like hallways, many changes across public schools have looked and felt like bandaids on a bullet hole. however, institutional change recognizes the deeper systemic issue that often forces young people to fight an uphill battle to change this norm.
as we bring our "in our schools" series to a close, listen to what Ike Wood and Sarhia Rahim, two activists and students from New York, have to say about their experiences and the striking statistics of gun violence in our schools.
