  • Deadly Lessons: School Shooters Tell Why
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 448 359 CG 030 506 TITLE Deadly Lessons: School Shooters Tell Why. Sun-Times Exclusive Report. INSTITUTION Chicago Sun-Times, IL. PUB DATE 2000-10-00 NOTE 20p. AVAILABLE FROM For full text: http://www.suntimes.com/shoot. PUB TYPE Information Analyses (070) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Bullying; Educational Environment; Elementary Secondary Education; Guns; Listening; *Prevention; *Psychological Patterns; School Security; *Violence IDENTIFIERS *School Shootings ABSTRACT This document represents a compilation of newspaper articles analyzing information shared by the Secret Service concerning 37 school shootings. The findings are presented to educate parents and teachers concerning what has been learned about violent students. It was determined that there is no profile of a typical youth who kills. The shooter is neither impulsive nor spontaneous, but sees the shooting as a way to solve a problem. The shooters told friends of their grievances and shared information about the violence they planned. Acquiring weapons was never .a problem, since most youth had access to weapons in their homes. The articles point to the inherent problems associated with the current response schools are using to counter school shootings. They warn about over-reliance on metal detectors, SWAT teams, and zero-tolerance policies. Suggestions are made about the importance of listening to students; how to deal fairly with bullying; how to improve the school climate; the need to keep guns away from children; and the importance of investigating when a student raises a concern. The articles in Part 1 examine actions of the shooters; discuss bullying; and present tips on listening.

  • Environmentalists Support the Greater Grand Canyon Heritage National Monument
    Environmentalists Support the Greater Grand Canyon Heritage National Monument December 19, 2016 President Barack Obama The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, DC 20500 Dear President Obama, We, the undersigned organizations are writing to thank you for all you have done to help protect our country’s public lands. And during this year of the centennial of the National Park Service we call on you to permanently protect the Grand Canyon and surrounding land by creating the Greater Grand Canyon Heritage National Monument. We are blessed with beautiful places all across the nation, and our organizations focus on protecting our natural resources and our communities’ health. But of all the places we and our members love, the Grand Canyon is a special American icon. Its scenic vistas are unparalleled; it is home to wildlife from bighorn sheep to the endangered California Condor; and it is a great place for hiking, camping, and white water rafting. In addition, the Grand Canyon and surrounding lands contain sites sacred to the Native American community, and the Colorado River and its tributaries that flow through the Canyon provide drinking water for millions of people. As environmentalists and conservationists we know how critical it is for people to have the experience of getting out into nature and the opportunity to appreciate all the great values that our public lands have to offer. Unfortunately, the Grand Canyon and the land around it is threatened by uranium mining --- including a new mine just 6 miles away from the Canyon’s southern entrance. Uranium mining has already left a toxic legacy within the national park and nearby mining will only do more of the same putting at risk water supplies, wildlife and our families’ health.
