Tag: The Students

The NewsHour’s Student Reporting Labs spoke to several of them about the tragedy’s impact on their daily experiences, how safe they feel and the role of politics. We wanted to take some time tonight to hear from students around the country. Memphis Cleveland: Obviously, Parkland was a really big turning point in this, but it has happened in a lot of different places that, you know, maybe we don't hear about every day. But because of Parkland, so many things have changed, even in my smaller school. Like, right after it happened, everyone was a lot more paranoid than they are now. The doors are locked all the time. James Abbot: I actually feel unsafe, a lot more unsafe after Parkland, just because a lot more kids realize they have the opportunity to shoot up a school. You know that it's not that hard to get a gun, and a lot of kids know that. And it really has done a lot in the face of lawmakers and people that can make change. Kim Leadholm: I feel hopeful that I will feel safer in the future.

LAUREL: To Tom Judge Sr. Everyone who met the longtime Delco Republican Party leader and courthouse employee will mention the same thing in talking about Judge. Galati spoke glowingly about the kind of man McCain was. DART: To David Desper. He entered a plea to a third-degree murder charge this week. DART: To those who see ulterior motives in the plea deal. LAUREL: To the new spirit of sharing that is filling the halls of Cardinal O’Hara High School for the start of the new year. A lot of workers would like the sound of that this Labor Day. DART: To the teen who sent a threatening message concerning Upper Darby High School. LAUREL: To Nerelli. But these days, we shudder to think what would happen if he ignored the threat and the worst occurred.
