A new public service announcement released by March for Our Lives imagines how a child who has grown up in post-Columbine America could easily lead adults in an active shooter drill.
With active shooter drills becoming commonplace in virtually every American school since two students carried out a 1999 attack at Columbine High School, children who have grown up in an era of mass shootings have become so well versed on how to respond to those horrific events that they could themselves lead similar training sessions.
In the two-minute spot, titled “Generation Lockdown,” a young girl leads an active shooter training session for a group of employees at an office in Southern California “When you talk out loud, the shooter can tell where you are and where you’re hiding,” she says. “Sometimes we play the game ‘Who can stay quietest the longest.’”
