| Abstract: | April 20, 2009 marks the 10th anniversary of the Columbine High School tragedy that took the lives of 12 students, a teacher, and two teen killers in 1999. This school shooting affected people worldwide who watched on television as police circled the building and terrified students fled the school with hands raised over their heads. The Columbine Memorial, which was completed in 2007, recognizes and honors the innocent victims: the deceased, the injured, the survivors, and the community members of Littleton, Colorado. Today, in addition to remembering the innocent victims, the authors suggest to take the time to remember the important lessons learned as a result of this, and other horrific events of targeted school violence. In this article, the authors discuss how to keep children safe at school and urge educators to be more unified, vocal advocates for policies that support what schools can do effectively. |
