The horrific news of the shooting and murder of students at Oxford High School this week by another student was heart wrenching, tragic, and shockingly devastating to our society’s sense of comfort, control and safety. The grief, pain and sorrow experienced by the children and families involved is unimaginable and as in all such cases, […]
