    Teenager shot & killed in Louisville. Grieving students wanted a moment of silence. This is what they got in response. https://twitter.com/BrashawnaH/status/859062992171917314 …

        Bad choices as a teen shouldn't disqualify empathy or reflection. Young man will never have the chance to make better choices. R.I.P

        How awful. The Principal needs an education in human empathy and compassion.

        When a friend of mine passed in high school to drugs, we had a sit-in in the office until they gave a moment of silence for him.

        I bet she was motivated by fear of kids thinking he's a heroic figure but time for quiet reflection is healthy & should be encouraged.
