⁦@Gannett⁩ ⁦@Tennessean⁩ has ZERO business saying #CovenantSchool parents, whose children were murdered 3/27 or who survived, but are afraid to leave their classroom to even go to the restroom, choosing to wet themselves instead, are not victims. This is evil. Image
#CovenantSchool parents sued to prevent the release of shooter Audrey Hale’s writings because even redacted, there is danger of copycats. The Allen TX mall shooter named Audrey as an influence.
@Tennessean would claim anyone whose loved one is murdered is not a victim of crime. Image
Understand—as #CovenantSchool parents navigate the hell of children massacred, while trying to get surviving kids to school & trying to hold it together to work, they now have to defend themselves from their local newspaper’s desire to cash in. apnews.com/article/nashvi…
I wonder if 18 USC 3771 (b)(2)(D) counts for anything in TN. @Gannett @Tennessean I’m no attorney but this is interesting. Wild that y’all drag #CovenantSchool families through having to lawyer up & hear your attorney say they’re not victims. Ugly as hell. law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18… Image
Update: It gets worse in this legal battle between @Tennessean & #CovenantSchool families.

Oh y’all. It’s so much worse. SO much worse. @Tennessean has threatened to sue #CovenantSchool, Covenant parents, & Covenant Church for attorney’s fees & expenses if the parents aren’t successful in keeping Audrey Hale’s writings unreleased. 1/
Trying to find a video link that I can post here, but on @NC5’s FB page, 5/23 at 4:24pm, there’s a post titled “The Covenant School document hearing,” in which Metro Law Director Wally Dietz provides a personal comment about @Tennessean’s threat to #CovenantSchool survivors. 2/
Dietz: “We believe that those parents & family members should have the right to have a day in what documents get released & don’t. We believe the church & the school each has a right to be heard.” (Regarding Metro Legal’s approach to the #CovenantSchool shooter’s writings. 3/

Last night I attended #AfterCovenant, a moderated discussion on what comes next for my community as far as change on gun violence in the wake of the #CovenantSchool shooting, in which my friend was murdered. 1/
Video here:
I was grateful that Dr. @alexjahangir led by describing the current situation in America as a public health crisis & comparing the need for legislative response to this crisis to the legislative response that happened when cars were the leading cause of death for young people.2/
I was also moved by @PreacherClay’s pastoral care of his flock AND the greater Nashville community in hosting last night’s event. I appreciated his strong affirmation of school children’s right to life. 3/

Ok. I’ve tried to answer this for more than a week & been overcome every time. 47 days have passed since my friend engaged a shooter in the hallway of the private Christian school where she was headmaster. The shooter murdered her. #CovenantSchool 1/
I am grateful that Kathy White, deaconess at @CPCnashville, spoke up about the need for meaningful gun reform. That she & the alumni of Christ Presbyterian Academy, where she & @DavidDark & I taught alongside Katherine Koonce, called on @GovBillLee to value children over guns. 2/
I am grateful for @DPCassidyTKC’s courage in speaking up, as any time a pastor speaks up on an issue like that, they risk being called partisan, too political, woke. But it wasn’t Pastor David’s first encounter with gun violence, & his conviction required his voice. 3/

The thing about #CovenantSchool that should scare every last Tennessean is no matter how exclusive your private school, no matter how Christian, no matter how armed the teachers are or how well-prepared staff are, a shooter can still kill your kids, & @TNGOP won’t help you. 1/ Image
In fact, if you enroll your kids in a TN private Christian school, & teachers are armed, & active shooter prep exceeds police expectations, & a shooter *still* kills children, you don’t *dare* approach your @TNGOP supermajority on your children’s behalf. 2/
Because if you petition your @TNGOP for the sanctity of your children’s lives at school, even a well-prepared teachers-armed exclusive private Christian school, & even if you are nonviolent & sing gospel songs, you will be called a violent extremist. 3/

A state official came at me in my DMs over the weekend b/c I RT’ed a post about an issue I’ve advocated around for 7 yrs & it’s made me pause on every post, QT, RT, or like since. Will they see this post? This RT? Will I get a letter from an attorney? Another angry DM? 1/
They know health information about my son that i don’t want made public. If I RT this post about them, will they tell the public my son’s most personal information? Will they say a word & my husband loses his job, our health insurance, our home? 2/
B/c of their party’s use of entertainers who bring Proud Boys to rallies, I’m afraid to leave my dog in the yard. Those entertainers have HQ just a few miles from my home. Will Proud Boys show up in my yard? 3/

Why on earth would *anyone* in Christian leadership think highlighting sexual abuse in public schools to say “see, clergy sex abuse ain’t so bad” is appropriate? It is *never* ok for even one child to be sexually abused by clergy. This comparison endangers children in church.
Look at the engagement this is getting. PCA influencers & an editor for PCA polity amplifying, drawing more shocked folks. The result is distrust in public schools…but worse, the growing sense that sexual abuse in our churches is over-hyped. This is dangerous. 2/ ImageImageImageImage
The article linked in the 3rd post in the thread, & the source of the 1st post’s claim that US Dept of Ed found 5-7% of teachers sexually abused students, is below. There’s a bit of irresponsible math going on here. 3/
