Just went to @MSDHighSchool to retrieve Alex’s book bag from the day he was murdered in Parkland (in this box). They told me the BIOHAZARD sticker means it has Alex’s blood on it & could have bullet holes. I’m afraid I’m not strong enough to open the box. This is horrible
I wish Kaylub had been there in Parkland to save my little boy Alex 💔. Instead we had the coward of @browardsheriff. 17 were murdered and 17 were injured while he waited outside.
Bend, Oregon man who shot and killed a shooter at his daughters' school speaks out, praises female teacher for fighting the shooter, allowing him to have a clear shot.
Kaylub Giamanco says he is haunted by the sound of children pleading for their lives.
He also praised the teacher for grabbing the gunman's weapon, allowing him to take a shot at the shooter.
"I want to recognize [the teacher]. She gave me the opportunity to make my shot without losing my life..."
"I swung the door open, and I stepped in, and I fired, and they dropped to the ground... I looked down at the gunman, and he was scrambling for his weapon. And I looked at him, and I shot him 2 more times..."
Looking forward to presenting on Uvalde, Parkland & 764/TCC at @TheIACP 2026 conference alongside school safety experts @OrangeCoSheriff @SheriffMina & @MissouriSBA Glen Moore.

Two 15-year-old girls spent months researching school shootings, police say. They discussed how to attack their high school. They talked about how to get weapons.
They never got the chance.
The @FBI flagged their social media messages and alerted Corona Police in California. Detectives searched homes and devices, and both students, one from Corona High and one from Norco High, were arrested on conspiracy to commit murder charges. Police say no weapons were found, and the girls had not been able to get any.
This is what prevention looks like. Attackers almost always leave warning signs, and today those signs are usually online. Someone has to notice, and someone has to act fast.
Parents, know what your kids are doing online and who they’re talking to. If you see or hear something concerning, report it. That’s how this one was stopped.
If you see something, say something. Call 911 in an emergency, or use your state’s anonymous school tip line.
For Alex. And for all of them.

Young students in France protesting against the poor educational system in the country
“What’s going on? I need my kid.”
@volusiaschools, @VolusiaSheriff and @RaptorK12 practiced that moment so parents never have to wonder. Reunification plans are the law in Florida since Parkland. Practicing them is what makes them work.

French students frantically search Christian Dior for school uniforms after their school reportedly ran out of blazers ahead of parents evening
The doors were locked. The attacker shot through the glass.
A new study of 54 school attacks over 25 years found that every time an attacker forced their way through a locked door, they went through glass. Not one solid door with a working lock was breached.
Parents, ask your principal two questions this week: Which outside doors have glass, and has it been assessed? Does my child’s classroom door lock from the inside and have a marked hard corner?
I wrote about what schools can do, much of it for almost no cost:

For Alex. And for all of them.
Ask most parents when bullying is at its worst and they’ll say high school. The data says 6th grade.
26.9% of 6th graders reported being bullied at school, the highest of any grade. It stays above 25% through 8th grade. By 11th grade it falls to 10.4%, less than half the 6th grade rate.
That tells us where to put our effort. The habits kids carry through high school get set in middle school: how they treat each other, whether they speak up, and whether they trust an adult enough to tell someone.
If your district is planning bullying prevention, start with the middle school years. That’s when kids need it most.

Pour moi, c'est l'image la plus horrible de ce 17 octobre:
Un couple d'octogénaire dépouillé de tout, en pleine rue, laissé à moitié nu.
Comme si les Rolex, les Vuiton, les Hermès, les Dior, les Sephora pillés n'étaient pas suffisants pour la revente.
L'image qui devrait être un signal d'alarme pour tout l'occident.
L'image d'un pseudo président qui a perdu le contrôle. Qui a totalement échoué envers son peuple.
L'image d'une gauche radicale qui a sacrifié votre propre identité pour faire de votre pays une zone de guerre, aux arrières-plans culturels qui n'ont rien à voir avec les vôtres.
Cette image est effrayante!

Black man punches white woman half his size.
Broken culture. No impulse control. Probably no consequences.

The cycle of violence in France must stop. Israel is calling on BOTH sides to show restraint, and engage in negotiations for a two-state solution.
