Andrew Pollack, whose daughter Meadow was murdered in the Parkland, Florida high school shooting, teamed up with education expert Max Eden to find out how the Parkland shooter slipped through the cracks. They argue that the policies pioneered in Broward plague American schools, and make school shootings more likely.; When seventeen people were murdered at a high school in Parkland, Florida, the national conversation focused exclusively on whether to ban AR-15 rifles. The media ignored the questions that matter: why did this happen? How can we stop it from happening again? Moving forward without answers wasn't an option for Andrew Pollack, whose daughter Meadow was murdered that Valentine's Day. He teamed up with a renowned education expert to find out how the most avoidable school shooting in American history became inevitable. There was a reason why everyone in the Broward County School District let the Parkland shooter slip through the cracks, and how the policies pioneered in Broward have come to plague your child's school, too. --From dust jacket. |
