Former ED Secretary: Pull Kids Out of School Until Gun Safety Laws Are Passed #safe schools

Gun violence in schools affects both general education and special education. We have written here before about keeping children with disabilities safe during school crises, for example.

Former Secretary of Education Arne Duncan retweeted recently that his family will follow a suggestion that parents should keep kids out of school until gun safety laws are passed. The theory is that lack of attendance  from a school boycott would force legislatures to act on gun violence.


This is brilliant, and tragically necessary.
What if no children went to school until gun laws changed to keep them safe?
My family is all in if we can do this at scale.
Parents, will you please join us? https://twitter.com/pcunningham57/status/997498464542978048 

Here is an article about the idea. Here is the original tweet and the reaction tweets. {Ten years ago, I would never use the phrase "reaction tweets!"}

Your thoughts?
