Republican and Democratic House members hosted the news conference to commend the NEA members for their courage and dedication to children. No more delays. No more excuses. The time has come for every lawmaker to put kids and their safety first. We cannot take for granted the safety of our schools.
Kids have many ways to go around detectors.
We need to stop the guns from getting into their hands in the first place. In addition, today a letter will be sent to every member of Congress signed by the country's leading education groups, calling for this common-sense legislation. Nothing we can do alone can stop a bullet. That's why we're calling on Congress to get real about protecting our kids. None of us should have to go to another child's funeral.
