About this audiobook
The Parkland school shooting was the most avoidable mass murder in American history. And the policies that made it inevitable have spread to your school.
"After my sister Meadow was murdered at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, the media obsessed for months about the type of rifle the killer used. It was all clickbait and politics, not answers or justice. That wasn't good enough for us. My dad is a real tough guy, but Meadow had him wrapped around her little finger. He would do anything she wanted, and she would want him to find every answer so that this never happens again.
My dad teamed up with one of America's leading education experts to launch his own investigation. We found the answers to the questions the media refused to ask. Questions about school safety that go far beyond the national gun debate. And the answers to those questions matter for parents, teachers, and schoolchildren nationwide."
—Hunter Pollack, "Foreword"

Interesting way of looking at our school system's attempts to help students avoid getting into trouble, so that their school record does not follow them into real life if it is negative. If the behaviour of this shooter had been documented, it's possible that he would never have been able to purchase guns and the tragedy might have been avoided. Are we helping children when we enable them to avoid the consequences of their poor choices in school.
