this Mom and daughter are amazing. I really want folks to watch this to the end. Please, before reading my comments, just watch this extraordinary exchange between a mother and her brilliant 2nd grader. Well worth it

THIS ripped the guts out of me
We had fire drills all through the school year—usually a laughing line-up as we got older. We were safe, and we knew it. This was 50+ years ago.
My sister lived in FL though some terrible hurricanes and storms and used to get frustrated with the state’s refusal to get folks PROPERLY prepared—work out how to evacuate, prepare the highways north and out of danger, to arrange for the gas stations and stores to be open and ready in a logical manner—instead, as she said, “just yelling RUN!”
In 2000, one of my best friends from college, a Hollywood agent who lived in a very upscale neighborhood with an excellent elementary school, called me crying after she found out that her oldest, 7 at the time, was receiving “active shooter” training a school. Her daughter was terrified as she told her mom. I joined her in shock and tears.
And yet, this is the world we are gifting them. Can you comprehend this second grade girl’s worry, as she fell asleep with a great and happy plan, only to realize THAT IT CANNOT BE AND WHY
Nothing has affected me the way this story has
David Hogg and March for Our Lives celebrate as President Biden’s “close the loopholes” action goes forward. Help these young folks as they try to bring some sanity to this nationwide insanity
