I absolutely agree with your blog post, Guns don't kill students, students kill students. I think it's going to take a lot of work to get rid of and/or redefine the second amendment and if it IS ever amended, it's going to take a long time and an army to regulate the mass amounts of firearms in the U.S. In the meantime, friendliness can go a long way. I don't know if assigning counselors to students at school will exactly improve the attitudes of millions of kids but it couldn't do any harm. I also think this issue starts more with activities at home and how kids spend their free time. Children/teens look up to family members and if someone is a complete a**hole, they are more likely to develop that same attitude or eventually become depressed. Let's start by influencing good character at home and setting positive examples for youths.
D A C A Say What? This past year, a threat to DACA, the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, has hit the press with the possible threat of rescinding. This would mean a large number of children and adults could be deported. DACA was established by Barack Obama in June of 2012 with plans to revise DACA requirements so that other illegal immigrants can also be covered. Texas has a very large amount of DACA recipients and a number of them are not only students but teachers as well. Five years after this was settled, President Trump has made threats to eliminate DACA which would considerably change our everyday lives in America.This article is a great example of who and what will be affected if Trump decides to abolish the act. https://www.npr.org/sections/ed/2018/01/29/579682676/nearly-9-000-daca-teachers-face-an-uncertain-future
