You heard it here first. There will be school massacres in Kentucky this year and every year if House Bill 138 is passed. Two GOP state legislators in the Kentucky have proposed a bill that will allow 18 year-olds the right to carry weapons into Kentucky’s classrooms. It is unfortunately a “no-brainer” to predict what happens next. The teenage years are a very difficult time. Boy-girl relationships are constantly changing, school grades are pressuring, test scores for college admission and scholarships are demanding and home life can be unstable. All of these components will be carried into hundreds of Kentucky classrooms every day with the slightest spark of anger always in the air. Do you remember Columbine, Parkland, Sandy Hook, Uvalde? This law makes it legal for those killers to walk into a classroom and plan their attack. We don’t want to hear about the need to put more money into mental health–UNLESS ALL OF THAT MONEY GOES TO KENTUCKY LEGISLATORS WHO OBVIOUSLY NEED IT. Kentucky might reach a point where every high school needs its own police force–one “resource officer” won’t be nearly enough. When we requested that a “letter to the editor” make people aware of the pending disastrous bill it was ignored. And then we realized that the local Gannett paper is a “Fox media partner” which is like saying it’s a GOP affiliate. The newspaper prioritizes profit over kids lives and that is a very dark place. Stay tuned. Kentucky will be in the news soon for all the wrong reasons.
