Thanks, Mark. Our Forum was set up to discuss history, Lincoln and Civil War history. Yes, unfortunately violence; especially that of the Civil War, is a part of history but hopefully, we have learned from it.

We need to make sure that our schools are a safe place for our greatest commodity; our children - our future. Schools should be a haven not only for leaning, but a place of ultimate security where there is peace, challenges and fun. Nothing this horrid should ever have to enter a child's or a parent's mind. What has happened to our country, I don't know.....

I just know that things like this didn't happen when I was a kid - it never entered our minds. We had Fall Out Shelters during the Cold War, sure....but NOTHING like this was ever thought possible. Unfortunately, times have drastically changed and something went seriously amiss a long while back to allow these tragic and horrid events to occur....
