School Shootings

In the wake of the tragic school shooting in Florida, we have been flooded with information. Politicians have been making speeches, the media has been reporting on every aspect of the tragedy and several special interest groups have started digging deeper, their already hardened positions.

Some of this information is accurate while a lot of it is more opinion than fact.

While families are burying their loved ones, their loss is being high jacked by others.

I urge everyone to take a moment and pray for the families involved. I also ask that you critically analyze everything you read and hear regarding this event.

Make up your own mind about the important issues. Debate with people you trust and respect.

Avoid the temptation to "jump on the bandwagons" that are coming. Your greatest asset is your common sense and experience.

Now is the time to use them and to think for yourself.

I pray that we never experience a school shooting in Minneota and I will do whatever I can to work with whomever I can to prevent one.
