“But obviously it didn’t because we continue to have an issue with school shootings,” Ella said. “If this is what they need to do to get their point across, I think it’s good that they did it, and I hope that it’s effective.”
Barden says Sandy Hook Promise has trained more than 7.5 million students and adults in preventing mass casualty incidents and suicides. Starting this year, all Illinois schools must conduct a lockdown drill within the first 90 days of school. Lyons Township completed theirs in August. Lyons practiced a new active shooter training this year called ALICE, or Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, Evacuate. Students say they feel more confident about this type of drill. But Ella says that’s only a reactive measure that won’t prevent violence.
WBEZ Time everyone face the truth about today's society. The more we allow hate mongers to set the social agenda (25thAmendmentNow), we must be aware & vigilant from the womb to the grave. . Humanitarianism NoDemRift
WBEZ Brilliant PSA!
WBEZ The love for human life should be greater than a tool designed to kill. I’m not sure it gets much simpler than that. Guns, like any other tools have a place in society, however the laws around them are outdated and need to be revised under the lens of the 21st century.
WBEZ Bravo Sandy Hook Foundation. This ad needs to run everywhere everyday. We need to wake up and do something with gun control. This was very powerful. Cried my eyes out
WBEZ Very very powerful
WBEZ Best and most impactful PSA I've ever seen in my life. I've watched it at least 15 times. I'm shaken every time. I dont have kids in school, but I am so afraid for parents and their children.
WBEZ Tomorrow my daughter has a “ run, hide and act drill” at her high school. Shame on this country.
WBEZ Provocative?!? We now teach active shooter drills the same as fire and tornado drills...
WBEZ This is the most disgusting video being targeted at kids. My daughter has terrible anxiety and this is incredibly irresponsible. But the left wing propaganda machine doesn't really care about kids. Just taking guns from responsible gun owners!
WBEZ It’s heart-wrenching, but it should be. These are our kids, and we’re letting them down.
WBEZ This is far from reality of what happens at schools. Schools are the safest place for children
WBEZ We see potential victims arming themselves. 🤔
WBEZ Now do texting and driving which kills more
WBEZ If you decide to watch this PSA, be prepared to cry, and not just the first time. It’s very powerful. I hope it makes a difference.
WBEZ OMG so sad
WBEZ Thankfully the USA allows homeschooling, some countries forbid it.
WBEZ Yeah at this point why aren't people born adults ready for boot camp? Childhood is old news now.
WBEZ This is a result of anti-bullying policy, humans a biological creatures.... you can’t just run new programs, and if you could source commands wouldn’t be valid!
WBEZ Considering school shootings have been declining since the 90s this is propaganda and stoking fear among children! You should be ashamed!
WBEZ WTF why lead with 'spoilers' when the power of this is the surprise? Who at NPR wrote this?
WBEZ USA has the most Mass Murders & Guns in the World. Majority of Americans want a Ban on Assault Weapons. The Ban In 1994, reduced Mass Murders by 40%. Once it expired, Mass Murders have increased over 200%. DemsBuyBack BanAssaultWeapons Beto2020 🇺🇸
WBEZ This is sick.
WBEZ Omg I’m in tears
WBEZ Our Constitutional and Civil rights do not change with technology. They do not change with manipulative Stalin type ads either.
WBEZ All the Dems have is using fear to get votes. THeir world is full of no hope and fear. NO THANK YOU! Keep my kid away from the wacky Dems! 🇺🇸🌈🌹💪🏿 WalkAway
WBEZ This literally brought me to tears.
WBEZ 😔
WBEZ it's outrageous that those children didn't have armed teachers to protect them money has more security then the countries most precious asset
WBEZ When you use fear to exploit ignorance and irrationality: manipulation. School shootings are lower than they were in the 90s, despite more guns and the ‘assault weapons’ ban lapsing. FearSells
WBEZ Sure, because it's natural to cause anxiety amongst children over an event that won't happen to them. The chances of being involved in a school shooting is extremely minimal....but hey.....we can't infringe on your rights without scaring a few kids now can we?
WBEZ This is the reality for American kids that everyone needs to see. Anyone still against gun regulations needs to be treated for mental illness.
WBEZ Alas, this is the vector that MUST be used to move this issue from the arid regions of thoughts & prayers into the affective sanctums of hearts & minds!
WBEZ Decent Americans and all around the world who love liberty please join the NRA.
WBEZ Enough talk now is the time for action. Show congress we mean business by educating yourself on who has what stance when it comes to school shootings and put those in the seat to do something. VOTE
WBEZ We can talk around the subject allwe want, but until we explain the constitution, the difficulty in changing it, and the difference in trying to regulate something that is stipulated in it, is as people will continue to to be ignorant and argue uneducated arguments.
WBEZ Not to minimize the legacies of innocent children lost or the need to find deep purpose in grief: At what cost do we adults impose such extraordinary angst & fear on kids in the name of education and safety? By spreading tragic proportion, we make every day that nightmare.
WBEZ Americans need to see these types of depictions. This is the horror our kids are subjected to, because “mah guns.”
WBEZ Reality is shocking to those living inside a bubble of false security.
WBEZ hey kids stop shooting other kids
WBEZ I can't bring myself to watch it.
WBEZ How sad when adults put their unrestricted gun ownership before their children.
WBEZ Fear mongering.
WBEZ The new reality for our kids. NRA
WBEZ Good.
WBEZ This is the reality of America. Those looking in from outside the American Bubble, just scratch their head and wonder why certain Americans have an orgasm over their guns. Hence more of a priority than American lives. Bizarre.
WBEZ You know that scare mongering that people on the left always complain about? This is it. You have less than 1% chance of this happening to you.
WBEZ Gun nuts won't care until it's their own kid they are burying, and even then some will still think their guns are more important.
WBEZ This is would somehow suggest that his is now the norm. So, for that reason alone, I think it is ludicrous that this is a PSA. We need to change, before this becomes the norm. Perhaps this is the catalyst for that change. You cannot learn in fear, and we should not have to.
WBEZ Sick.
WBEZ For some reason, the kid using his new skateboard to break a window so he and his classmates could escape from the building hit me hard. I wonder if it’s an intentional indictment of Mike Huckabee’s recent tweet about banning Beto’s skateboard. It’s powerful no matter what. 😢
WBEZ How is it dark when this is what kids are training for once a month? This is their reality.
WBEZ Mental health is a serious issue.
WBEZ All parents should see this
WBEZ This is the kind of stuff that changes minds. That’s power.
WBEZ It's difficult to believe our children have to be prepared for this, especially in my lifetime.
