Second Grade Amendment

March of 2020 was the first March since 2002 without a school shooting in America. Why? Because nobody was in school. This would almost suggest that school shootings are simply a fact of American schools being in session. But should they be?

What do we teach our kids when we pit their lives against a constitution? Is that really what the founders intended to enshrine in those documents? In the words of Thomas Jefferson, “We might as well require a man to wear still the coat which fitted him when a boy as civilized society to remain ever under the regimen of their barbarous ancestors.”

Do we want to be the barbarous ancestors?

Our constitution, like our children, is better alive than dead.
