CEOs Get Protection, Schoolkids Get Prayers: Americas Two-Tiered Safety System
Recent shootings, one targeting a corporate CEO and the other a Wisconsin school, starkly illustrate America’s disparate responses to gun violence. While the CEO’s death prompted immediate and substantial security upgrades for corporate executives, the school shooting elicited the typical, insufficient response of condolences and prayers. This disparity highlights the unequal prioritization of safety, with resources heavily favoring the protection of the wealthy and powerful over students and teachers. The lack of significant gun control legislation further underscores the challenges in addressing this pervasive issue.
