As a public school teacher with a high number of students living in poverty, I’m even more disturbed. Why anyone thinks playing politics with children is smart is beyond me. As a country we must invest in the well-being of our youth both in education and health.
Within an hour of posting this, another shooting at Westroads Mall just 2 miles from me. The site of a mass shooting 14 years ago & the shooting of a police officer months ago. It’s time to change our nation’s obsession with guns that don’t protect everyday citizens.

Me: I’m going to turn off the tv.
Husband: Don’t bother. We’ll just be turning it on again soon for the next mass shooting coverage.

Do you “take it like a woman”? Do you make sure you “don’t make faces” while you’re “taking it”? This is repulsive advice to give anyone. Women shouldn’t have to “take it.” Decent women are repulsed by this archaic attitude toward them and how they should behave around men.
For some reason

Sen. Brewer thinks it would be a smart idea to arm school staff. Rather than bringing more guns into schools, we should keep guns out of schools & focus instead on solutions like in-school threat assessment teams and secure storage requirements.

LB 314 that would promote the distribution of suicide prevention materials including information on the

A shortage of affordable housing hinders Nebraska's efforts to attract and keep workers. Some businesses even resort to building housing for their own workers.
