Synopsis

The Parkland school shooting was the most avoidable mass murder in American history. And the policies that made it inevitable have spread to your school.

"After my sister Meadow was murdered at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, the media obsessed for months about the type of rifle the killer used. It was all clickbait and politics, not answers or justice. That wasn't good enough for us. My dad is a real tough guy, but Meadow had him wrapped around her little finger. He would do anything she wanted, and she would want him to find every answer so that this never happens again.

My dad teamed up with one of America's leading education experts to launch his own investigation. We found the answers to the questions the media refused to ask. Questions about school safety that go far beyond the national gun debate. And the answers to those questions matter for parents, teachers, and schoolchildren nationwide."

—Hunter Pollack, "Foreword"

Must Read I have personally read the MSD Commission report. It was only after reading this book that I was able to see ALL of the failures. From Broward County School Board, the administration of MSD, the ESE system in Broward. I originally thought the fault was mainly with BSO. Now I know that a mur......more

Goodreads review by TJL

Madness. Absolute fucking madness. I was a few months short of seven years-old when Columbine happened. My childhood education, as a Millennial, was underscored by the fact that school shootings are never, ever something to joke about, because a SWAT team will descend from the ceiling, guns blazing,......more
