Arne Duncan: We Value Our Guns More than We Do Our Kids

‘This is the toughest one, I don’t think we value our children like other nations do’

EXCERPT:

DUNCAN: "I think we value our guns more than we do our kids. And the Parkland kids have been extraordinary. They’re providing amazing leadership. We have kids from Chicago joining them. My family and I were at that march in Washington. And what I honestly believe is that young people are going to succeed where we as adults have failed. We have failed to keep them safe. We have failed to allow them to grow up free of fear and trauma. And like many movements, the civil rights movement, the protest against the Vietnam War, this battle will be won by young people’s leadership."
