1. The GOP and their gun worship has got to go. Vote like your life depends on it.

[3825-87867]

12. Maybe...

Vote like your CHILDREN'S lives depend on it!

[TeamProg]

2. Oh shit.. we've really let it come to this. Woke yet, FUCKERS ?!?!?!

[calimary]

13. Yeah. We've really let it come to this.

We’ve really let it come to this.

There’s a Biblical or some kind of religious-oriented passage I forget where, “…and the children shall lead.”

Children shouldn’t have to lead on something like this. But I guess they have to, because the adults either can’t or won’t.

19. Rubio knows it

3. If you don't feel rage...

..after watching her, what do you feel about anything?

[Delphinus]

10. You said it! (n/t)

[LoisB]

14. I didn't know whether to cry or scream. That a CHILD has to "know" what to do in the event of an

active shooter is both heartbreaking and horrific.

4. K&R Thanks for posting. n/t

5. Woooah...

powerful. 😥

[Jim__]

6. Horrifying! They should put that on Fox as an ad.

Maybe then the republicans would act. You know, they could outlaw active shooter drills in school.

[Diraven]

9. Just say it makes your child uncomfortable

Like talk about slavery

[TomSlick]

7. Powerful.

Elected officials need to see this.

[leftieNanner]

8. Absolutely Chilling!

It was her matter-of-fact tone of voice that shocked me.

Thanks for sharing this.

11. We are living in a Kurt Vonnegut novel.

[Glaisne]

15. And there's more

how many schools have lead in their water, mold in their HVAC systems, inadequate heating, and cooling, and other issues? This is all part of the Republican war on public schools, public education, and all our public institutions. Republicans and the conservative movement have been working for decades to turn us into a shithole country.

29. It seems they're succeeding. nt

16. That little Lady has future leader written all over her.

[2naSalit]

17. This is also...

What abused children learn early on too. We do not honor the lives of anyone who isn't wealthy anymore. According to those in power, we are disposable.

[The Jungle 1]

18. We are a failed society!

[sky_masterson]

20. Jesus. That got me

[Hekate]

21. Well, that made me cry. Kudos to Steve Schmidt, and may this go everywhere.

[NQAS]

22. That's fucking heartbreaking

Brilliant, but heartbreaking.

23. I saw this on Crooks and Liars

with a slighty longer but very good article attached.

24. whoa

[Ziggysmom]

25. We are destroying the mental health and coping capabilities of our children! Childhood is no

longer a time of play; now it's a time of fear and violence. I shudder to imagine the long term effects of all this on our precious youth. When I was in grade school my biggest worry was getting my homework done and did a certain boy smile at me 😢. Now they are learning to prepare for war. A war caused by our GQP elected officials and their blind followers.

26. I retweeted that one.

Powerful, stunning, brilliant, brutal, matter-of-fact sickening minute of my life I won’t get back.
How dare we teach our children these skills in grade school, instead of history…or a damn trade.
What have we become?
This is not normal.

[peggysue2]

27. This was absolutely heartbreaking

They showed this vid on MSNBC this afternoon. Both my husband and choked up along with a good portion of the adults in that room.

What we're doing to our kids is unforgivable, nightmarish.

30. Very sad and upsetting to watch that

Unfortunately we have been here for a long time, but the insanity of the last several years have brought it to another level. I have already been thinking for years about where I would hide while shopping in stores if a psycho comes in with a gun. Assuming I did not have the opportunity to simply run and escape the situation.

[llmart]

31. Oh sweet Jesus, I shouldn't have watched this before going to bed.

This is sickening. What in the ever loving f*** is wrong with the people in this country that we keep allowing easy access to guns? And now we're supposed to be excited that some Republicans might just sign some watered down bill where the only real change is red flag laws???? Give me a break!

We have failed our children. I honesty think the only thing we as individual citizens can do is to get out every single vote and get rid of the entire GOP that's currently in office and that goes for governors too.

THIS HAS GOT TO STOP! We are stealing our children's childhood years from them and turning them into little adults. This is not normal.

[okaawhatever]

32. Heartbreaking. Educational AF, but heartbreaking. nt

[Larissa]

33. Don't forget

I can't look at the video again right now because it made tears sting my eyes. I can't recall if she mentioned this: don't forget to mute your phones if you are on an active shooter lock-down.

As long as children live in fear for their lives just doing everyday routines, we are a failed nation.
