HARDEN OUR SCHOOLS: Glass laminates save lives and buy time
The six victims -- three students and three staff members -- didn’t have to die at Covenant Christian School in Nashville back in 2023. And a woke administrator might well as have contributed as much to their deaths as the transgender, Christian-hating lunatic who shot them dead. What would you…
