We Must Address Violence In Schools Now
Patrick Murphy argues that school violence is a widespread issue affecting rural and urban areas alike. He cites shootings from Columbine to recent incidents, notes rising mid and high school violence, and urges parents and teachers to spot warning signs and speak up. He credits President Bush for forming a committee to study the problem and emphasizes home communication and school support as key steps. Patrick Murphy, Columbus Neb, former Telegram assistant managing editor, adds perspective.
