@teachersunify.bsky.socialThe big tech companies that produce AI are some of the most valuable in the world & are failing us. When students have easy access to firearms the last thing we need is anything that makes our gun violence problem worse. AI platforms aren’t doing enough to keep kids & families safe. @motherjones.com
@teachersunify.bsky.socialWe’re thankful no one was physically harmed, but mindful of the trauma & stress that staff & students experienced after a loaded gun discharged during the school day. No one should have to go into their workplace fearing gun violence & no student can be successful when not in a safe environment.
@teachersunify.bsky.socialOn Friday, the DOJ announced in a legal opinion that the federal ban on selling handguns to people under 21 is unconstitutional and that it will no longer enforce the law. Expanding access to firearms for young people directly threatens public safety. This is a reckless rollback.

@teachersunify.bsky.social“Tennessee has some of the weakest gun laws in the nation & our children deserve better than a system that asks them to practice surviving gun violence while lawmakers fail to prevent it.” Must 📖 Substack blog post by Kathryn Vaughn, a veteran teacher who teaches Art & STEM in rural west TN.
