I’m sure being a new mother has an impact on my opinion. Before we had my daughter, my husband and I were more likely to go stand outside and stare at the sky in a storm than get our safety gear and flashlights together. Okay, we’re still likely to go stare at the storm, but only after we have our emergency stuff together and a clear path to the safest room in our apartment. More
People! Is it seriously so hard to use a little common sense when it comes to children and school discipline? I wouldn’t think so. But the latest extreme over-reaction about gun safety from school administrators proves otherwise. A second grade child has been suspended for making a “gun-shaped” pastry. More
There has been a lot of talk lately about how to curb our violent culture. We’ve all been worried about how to keep our children safe. These parents who not only find violence acceptable, but encourage and help their children solve their problems through violence, they are a huge piece of the problem. More
I realize that gun control and guns in school are an extremely touchy subject at the moment. I know that tension is still high and emotions are still heated after the national tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut. But can we please take a step back and acknowledge the ridiculousness of a 5-year-old being suspended from school for threatening to shoot her classmates… with a bubble gun? More
The NRA is continuing on their puzzling crusade to convince people that the solution to gun violence is having more guns, everywhere, at all times. To get their message out, the National Rifle Association crafted this commercial, aimed at fighting back against President Obama‘s rebuff of their idea to put armed security guards in every school in the country. More
There’s been lots of discussion about how to keep school children safe recently, but that didn’t stop a single woman from walking into a Philadelphia school and leaving with a 5-year-old girl who wasn’t her own. How much was the school’s fault? And how much can parents realistically expect from schools when it comes to safety and security? More
It is always nice to report a child abduction with a happy ending. It’s so rarely the case. We need to take a minute and appreciate that there was a mother out there, terrified and frantic and watching the world crash down around her, who now gets to tuck her baby into bed and kiss her on the forehead. That mother is Latifah Rashid and her five-year-old daughter is Nailla Robinson. More
Miguel Caballero has been manufacturing bullet-proof clothing for 22 years. He’s been working in Colombia, and trying to break into the American market. Now, the tragedy at Newtown has provided him an opportunity. Apparently responding to frequent requests from customers, Caballero has decided to create a line of bullet-proof clothing for children. Because that’s obviously what kids need to stay safe: kevlar. More
The NRA asked parents to get involved and demand armed security for their children’s schools. Unfortunately for them, most parents are asking the NRA pipe down or do something productive on gun control. More

In the aftermath of the tragic shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, the entire country has gotten understandably concerned with school security. Plenty of parents are asking if armed guards can be placed at schools around the country. While I don’t think that’s the solution, I think it’s much more preferable to what’s going on in one small Texas town, where teachers are allowed to carry guns at school. More
If we need further proof that the tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut has wiped all rational thinking from many American citizens, look no further than Sandy Hook Elementary in Virginia. That’s right, there’s another Sandy Hook Elementary. More
The most irresponsible reaction to the Newtown, Connecticut shooting we’ve seen yet… More
Reports are coming in that schools around the country are beefing up security in the wake of Friday’s tragic mass shooting in Newtown, Connecticut. It’s a natural response to a horrible situation. We’re trying to protect our children from killers like Adam Lanza. Unfortunately, I don’t think that armed officers in schools do much more than assuage parents’ fears and turn our classrooms into military compounds. More
It seems almost unreal. I cannot believe that I am here, writing about another shooting. The national nightmare of gun violence simply does not seem to be slowing down. Today, it comes from Perry Hall High School in Baltimore County, Maryland. More
