-income thinkingne of douglas high scho, we all think what drove this young man to kill, there's not one single reason but there's no excuse for congress and lawmakers and states to remain frozen and fail to act to try to stop future shooting from happening. if anything, it should be the impetus for us to move forward onor many fronts, on many front, take many actions to support our children and support our communities, so more lives are not lost in such a violent way. we cannot allow the stories of these shootings to end like all the others in recent history, we should have taken action after three students were killed and five wounded in december 1997 at a high school in west paduca, kentucky and in 1999 in columbine high schoolr killing classmates and teachers, we should have taken action after gunman shot 32 people in virginia tech and blacksburg. for a periodin these names becae the code of some of the worst killings in history. nearly five years later it happened again, three students were killed and two wounded in shooting in february 27, 2012 in school cafeteria in ohio as st

kids go tol, scho we might recover a hand gun every once in a while, but for the most part, schools are safe. in our l district, as w most districts in california. thisgentleman ca in with a the one ellered rifle, police officer stationed in florida didn't stop him. if that kid came into my office, it would be hard pressed for us to stopim to you expect one teach stop somebody with a high powered weapon? it's ridiculous to consider that. the reason that 18% of the teachers are willing to do that, because they're willing to take care of their kids. they might not understand the responsibility of what that will involve, but i'm not surprised because tey want keep their kids safe. but it's not going to work. and the officers show up on scene, how willac know which r is which? now i have a civilian with a hand gun and have other people . i don't see a simple solution, nor do i s it positive in any way. >> i was going to say, in talking to kids over the last few weeks, i spent a lot of time talking to young people, one thing that struck me when talking about their tbchers ng armed, they said

my high scho guidance counselor attempted to steer me away from the ivies andmm suggested ity collegetead because she assumed that my parents wouldn't be able to afford it. all of these teachers were white. in a 2016 study conducted by researchers at johns hopki university and american university, it was revealed that white teachers expect less academic success than blackte hers expect from the same black students. a white teacher is 30% less likely to think a black student will graduate from a four-year college and is 40% lkely to think that a black student will graduate from high school. so why am i bringing this up now, with high school behind me? have you ever heard of the ter"" impostdrome"? imposter syndrome is the ability to absorb one's accomplishments and the persistent fear that one will be exposed as a fraud. i feel it now even when i'm writing for prestigiou publications; even after i got a book deal from a top publishing house. i kept wondering why. w n't until this moment though, that i realized how much of that difficulty to believe in myself came from childhood, partic

so we're here to combat that through the repeal of the esa vouchers and more funding for scho schools, and teach er retention. >> an issue that's very important to me is funding public education. i'm a product of public education, and i don't feel that we do enough here in arizona, and it's time we pay teachers what they deserve and support the classrooms that focus on empowering minority students in the state. >> the issues going on in the state and nationwide is two things. one, public education and the funding that is necessary to meet all of the objectives that we have in public education. of course, that starts with providing the best academic opportunities for all of our students. a secondly is the critical shortage area of teachers. to the profession. and filling all the positions necessary to provide our students the best classroom environment and the most highly qualified teachers, especially the areas of math and science and even technology.
