In this episode, we dive into the heavy, but necessary, topic of gun violence in school systems throughout America. How safe are we in the classroom? What measures can faculty and students alike take to combat the mental health effects that gun violence has on us? How safe do you feel in school? We speak with 3 guests, all of whom have insight to help us answer some of these questions. We speak to Tom Wright (a public university professor), Chuck Gesing (a public high school teacher), and Nina Carsello (a student who has experienced gun violence first hand at Temple University).
