A 6th grader named Nate Holley, who is 12, but seems impossibly young, just described how he was hanging onto a metal baseball bat in a closet because there were shooters outside the door of his classroom, and if he was going to go down, he he was going to go down fighting.
"Be brave," we tell our children. But what we are asking of this generation is insanity.

"We had a couple drills this year," he says, "but no one really knew what to do."

Nor should you, kid. This isn't red dawn.
Thank you, @SteveHolley_ , for sharing your story, and letting your son share his.
