After this week’s shooting at a high school in Georgia, North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper (D) said in an interview on Sunday that he is “tired of seeing texts from kids in a school telling their parents that they’re scared and that they love them.”
Governor of North Carolina said on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that she was tired of seeing texts from kids in school telling their parents that they’re scared and that they love them. “We can’t make this OK.”
A person from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) told the press Wednesday that the killing at Apalachee High School in Winder killed two students and two teachers. At a rally in New Hampshire on Wednesday, Vice President Harris talked about the killing and called it a “senseless tragedy.”
“But our kids are in a classroom, where they should be using the skills God gave them, and part of their brains is worrying that someone might break in and start shooting.” The vice president said, “This does not have to be the case.”
Cooper told CBS that he thinks “we have to do everything we can to reduce gun violence, especially gun violence in our schools.”
Before this, President Biden also said that he was “mourning the deaths of those whose lives were cut short due to more senseless gun violence.”
The return to school season in Winder, Georgia, should have been a happy time. Instead, it was another horrible reminder of how gun violence continues to split up our communities. Instead of learning how to read and write, kids all over the country are learning how to duck and cover. The president said, “We can’t keep taking this as normal.”
