As the mother of a daughter who is disabled, I’d just like to remind you that not all of our children can “run for their lives.”

As per usual, the most vulnerable are the most vulnerable.

Let me tell you about the special hell of sitting down with a team of people at your school to talk through the scenario of an active shooter and who would help your disabled daughter out of the school. You know, the daughter who can’t run for her life.

“You mean the exit next to the music room isn’t accessible?”

“Yes it would be ideal for two teachers to carry her down the stairs, but honestly someone just grab her and run.”

3/6

“Yes her chair is fast for walking, but it’s not fast for running… Just leave her chair. Tell every teacher to leave her chair and just grab her and run.”

*thinks to myself* can her aide even carry her?

4/6

Yes, it is gut wrenching to think of any of my kids in this situation. But to actually talk through scenarios with administrators is on another level.

Remember when Senator Tammy Duckworth was left behind because of the lack of access during the capital riot last year?

5/6

The most vulnerable are the most vulnerable.

At this point, take all the effing guns. I’m tired of trying to reason with the unreasonable.

VOTE THEM OUT.

We shouldn’t have to live like this.
We shouldn’t have to die like this.
