Students plead for government action -- Grace Carpenter

Every day, I spend seven hours inside a Madison high school. It’s not all that different from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School or Columbine. And neither are many of the public elementary, middle and high schools across the country. I’m 16. I can’t vote, and neither can most of my classmates. We spend five days a week here, but we don’t get to pick the lawmakers who decide to let people have murder weapons that they use to murder the children at our public institutions. This isn’t just politics to me. To the 50 million children in American public schools, it’s our lives. Marjory Stoneman Douglas deserved better. Sandy Hook deserved better. Columbine deserved better. I deserve better. I can't.
