Our kids attend a socioeconomically diverse public school with families who likely represent all colors of the American gun-politics spectrum. So, I did what a lot of my parent peers hadn’t: I burst the moose bubble and told my 8- and 10-year-olds about Parkland. I also showed them a video about African-American activists plagued by gun violence on the South Side of Chicago. “We should protest, like those kids,” Liam added. We need to treat our children like participants in the fight for gun control, because they—perhaps more than us—are involved.
