In the news
Threats (bullies, extremist, or active shooters) are relevant and real, we can no longer take for granted our schools are a safe haven for our kids. “Terror in American Schools: Are Your Kids Safe” is one mother’s quest to create a grassroots movement to “move the needle” on school security. Shocked by the horrific events during the 2004 Beslan, Russia school siege, and motived by the Russian special forces motto, “if not me, then who,” she has brought together a wide array of experts to provide insight regarding the threats against our schools, an understanding of where these threats stem from and why, and a call to action on to how prepare and, hopefully, prevent a tragedy from happening. The goal is to arm ALL on how to be more vigilant, becoming the first line of defense in protecting our kids, schools, community and ultimately our country.
It’s no longer an option to “let someone else worry,” it is time to engage, educate, and empower ourselves. As said by one of the experts, “If we’re ready for a Beslan, we’re ready for anything.”
