[Jacqueline-C20987]

I have been thinking about the country’s reaction to the Littleton shootings also. It got the attention of the entire country, including the president, who made a special speech about it. Immediately, legislators and senators where talking increased gun control laws. Schools across the country were talking about how to prevent violence in schools. Some schools began installing metal detectors. The thing that amazed me about this was that this is not the first school violence in this country. Some schools in the US have been plagued with violence for years. The difference between the Littleton shooting and the violence in other schools is that Littleton is a middle-class, predominantly white school. People are shocked when violence occurs in predominantly white areas, but they aren’t phased by all off the violence going on in schools where the student body is predominantly not white.
