Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
In July, Lee County School Board unanimously approved a plan that would allow school employees to become “special conservators of the peace,” a designation, the board argues, will permit those who’ve been trained and vetted to carry a firearm on school grounds.
But Virginia’s attorney general says the move is a violation of state law.
Is the school board’s decision really illegal? And what else are schools doing to increase security and protect students in the wake of mass shootings?
