NJEA’s officers, President Sean M. Spiller, Vice President Steve Beatty and Secretary-Treasurer Petal Robertson, launched this assertion concerning at the moment’s horrific capturing at Apalachee Excessive Faculty in Winder, Georgia. 

“We’ve got realized with disappointment and dismay of at the moment’s horrific college capturing in Georgia. Our hearts are with the households, mates and family members of all of those that have been injured and killed. 

“Past our ideas and prayers, we provide our unbending resolve to battle for higher legal guidelines and customary sense reforms that may preserve our college students and educators safer and defend different households from such unthinkable horrors.

“Tragically, it’s too late to avoid wasting these most up-to-date victims. But it surely completely shouldn’t be too quickly to take motion to stop future hurt. Those that stalled, made excuses and refused to behave following earlier tragedies like this share the blame for at the moment’s preventable deaths. We should cease sacrificing our kids on the altar of gun rights.”
