@BetoORourke given circumstances you weren’t able to do a meet and greet, but you inspired me to share my Why with you. This is Bodhi. He’ll be 1 in October and his dad works a job that is unnecessarily dangerous. I’m a teacher.

Last year in my school, we had 3 shooting threats. 1 was unfounded, but 2 weren’t. The students had weapons, plans and were coming had it not been for two students. Two students that made sure I had the opportunity to tweet this to you.

Two students that made sure Bodhi’s daddy came home to tuck him in that night. It shouldn’t be like this. My wife shouldn’t respond in fear when I tell her my class is near the entrance. I’m a teacher. I’m not trained for that. There’s no class for this. No preparation.

All I know is I will do may damndest to ensure the safety of every student I can every single day. But we HAVE to do better. My son deserves for his daddy to come. My students parents deserve to have their babies come home.

This shouldn’t be real life. Today I drove to Charlottesville and then to Fairfax to get as many signatures as I could. I will follow you to the gates of hell if I have to if that makes every student safe and that NO parent, brother, sister, aunt, uncle, has to ID their baby.

What is happening in Texas right now, has happened in El Paso and Dayton this month, and in Va Beach in May should not be happening. We can end this, together. Let’s go out and get #GunReform NOW
