Publisher's summary

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")

Every Parent and Every School Board NEEDS to Read This Book!

Fantastic analysis of everything that is wrong with our public education system in America. We MUST stop the indoctrination and destruction of our youth through the sham of “Trauma Informed” and “Restorative Practices/Justice” in our schools!

Couldn’t stop until I was done. Must read!

Excellent written book. Great job and. Wry informative. I knew I had issues with public schools and I had no idea how bad the corruption was. Not only did they create a mass murderer but they all have blood on their hands. Grateful for this book! It’s a must read!

So important to hear this story from the parent

Play it on 1.2x, but otherwise, pay attention! This story is an important part of a complex issue.

The best non-fiction I have ever heard

This book talks about how corrupt politicians worked to make their personal metrics look good at the expense of school safety.

The book is well written, and intriguing. I have often shared with others how this book is about the Chernobyl of Broward County school district. If you have ever seen the show about Chernobyl, reading this book you will see how politicians and administrators do everything wrong before, during, and after the shooting at MSD. All they seem to care about is protecting themselves and their jobs, at the expense of our students, and teachers.

I highly recommend that you read or listen to this book. Whether you have kids or not, this is about the safety and education of our next voting generation, and if these issues aren't corrected, we will all suffer from the fallout.

very true of whats going on in schools today.

I am a sped teacher and this exact description of ignoring safety concerns is accurate in my district. The law is pushing leniency on dangerous behaviors.
