..to apologize

Less than two years ago, Cooper Caffrey was sitting in his school’s cafeteria eating chicken nuggets. Then he was shot. So, it seems fitting he would want to participate in the protests demanding school safety and a stop to school shootings. Yet, when he did, his principal gave Caffrey detention.
-------------------
His principal made an announcement that morning that many were wearing the colors of MSD in solidarity, however, he warned all students that if they walked out, they’d be sent to detention. Caffrey was furious.

When the time came, Caffrey, along with 42 other students, walked past the cafeteria in which he was shot, and out their school’s doors. They were all given detention.
--------------------------
Board President David French even went so far as to say that the students should apologize to the school resource officer.

Caffrey’s father turned to his son and watched the blood drain from his face.

“It was like being shot all over again,” Caffrey told his dad of French’s words. Once again he was back on the cold cafeteria floor, begging for help. French wanted an apology instead.
