A Nation Without Fathers
We are all grieving, just as we did two years ago after the Uvalde shooting, as we learn that a 14-year-old stormed into a Georgia school yesterday, killing two students and two teachers. The most tragic part? We now know he had been making these threats over a year ago. Yet, when investigators questioned his father, they were assured that the boy had no access to weapons and that the online threats weren’t coming from him. And now, once again, the nation is reeling—searching for answers, scrambling to find causes, and begging for some kind of solution to protect our children.
Faith: The Foundation of Freedom
America is reeling from yet another mass school shooting, this time in Uvalde, Texas. Both political parties have offered their solutions: the left demands tighter gun control and the ban of assault rifles, while the right calls for increased school security, social media surveillance and an early-warning system created by red flag laws.
Neither solution addresses the real question. What in our culture has changed to cause such an increase of beastly violence in American young men? Is this a question over a choice of weapon or does it point to a deeper problem inherent in human nature?
