Summary Make Our School Safe Organization - Lori discusses the founding of Make Our School Safe, a nonprofit organization established after the tragic shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, where her daughter Alyssa was one of the 17 victims. The organization focuses on school safety, and its logo features an infinity symbol that represents Alyssa's soccer jersey number 8 turned sideways. Lori explains how the tragedy turned her family's pain into action, leading to the creation of "Alyssa's Law," which aims to transform school safety laws at both state and national levels. Alyssa's Law Implementation Discussion - Lori explains Alyssa's Law, a wearable panic button for teachers that can trigger emergency responses for medical situations, behavioral problems, or active shooter incidents. She describes how the law was first passed in New Jersey and has since been implemented in 12 states, with her goal to expand it nationwide to ensure consistent school safety standards. Jeremy asks about the implementation process across different states and shares insights from a previous discussion about active shooter drills, including how smoke from gunshots can trigger fire alarms, potentially confusing students. Make Our School Safe Program - Lori discusses the Make Our School Safe program, which includes student-led safety clubs that help create safer school environments through student leadership and teacher sponsorship. She highlights communication failures during the Parkland shooting in 2018, including problematic radios and delayed cameras, which led to tragic consequences including the death of her daughter Alyssa. Lori emphasizes the importance of learning from these mistakes and taking school safety seriously, noting that Florida has been a leader in creating school safety laws over the past eight years. MOSS Clubs School Implementation Discussion - Lori discusses the implementation of MOSS Clubs in schools, which focus on activities like anti-bullying, mental health awareness, and school safety through initiatives such as safety pep rallies and mental health journals. She reports positive feedback from schools, including plans for additional training like first aid and CPR. Jeremy inquires about community involvement in promoting both MOSS Clubs and Alyssa's Law. School Safety and Fundraising Initiatives - Lori discusses school safety measures including locked doors, single points of entry, cameras, and panic buttons, emphasizing the importance of regular lockdown drills involving all stakeholders. She highlights the organization's efforts to promote Alyssa's Act at both federal and state levels through their website and student engagement initiatives. Lori also mentions their fundraising activities, including the Live for Alyssa Gala, golf fundraiser, and tennis fundraiser, encouraging involvement through donations and starting MOSS Clubs at high schools. Alyssa's Law Implementation in Tennessee - Lori discusses the implementation of Alyssa's Law in Tennessee, emphasizing the importance of school districts having wearable panic buttons and conducting drills. She encourages the formation of MOSS clubs in high schools to promote school safety and urged parents to speak up about potential vulnerabilities.

Is limiting cellphone use in schools enough, or should Ontario go further by restricting social media and phones on school property? As the province considers tougher rules, we examine what is driving the push, whether it could improve learning, and what might be lost by narrowing students' access to digital spaces. Mohammed Estaiteyeh, assistant professor of digital pedagogies and technology literacies at Brock University, and Malini Leahy, former teacher and vice-president of the Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation, weigh the benefits and risks. We then turn to Australia, the first country to ban social media for children under 16. How has that policy worked in practice, and what can Canada learn from it? From Sydney, Katrina Champion, associate professor at the University of Sydney's School of Public Health, joins us to explain what the evidence shows so far and what policymakers should consider next.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

But instead of fixing the problem, Meta has launched a sophisticated campaign to protect its image and slow down regulation.In this episode of The Purple Zone, Alexis unpacks:How Meta funds parent and child safety groups—including the National PTA—to build trust with families.Why National PTA has recently come under fire in outside reporting, and what's fact vs. assumption.

As the school year kicks off, the air in the Shenandoah Valley is filled with anticipation—and a few nerves. On a recent episode of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael welcomed Captain Warren Gosnell from the Frederick County Sheriff's Office for their monthly Public Safety Thursday, diving into the timely topic of back-to-school safety. The conversation, peppered with personal anecdotes and lighthearted banter, offered listeners both a behind-the-scenes look at law enforcement and practical tips for navigating the new school year. Captain Gosnell, fresh from community events like National Night Out, shared stories from his own childhood and career, reminding listeners that even officers have their share of sibling squabbles and school memories. But the heart of the discussion centered on the serious business of keeping children safe as they return to classrooms. The duo tackled the ins and outs of school bus laws—emphasizing that in Virginia, red lights mean stop, no matter which direction you're coming from. They also debunked common myths about school zone speed limits and explained the new wave of school zone cameras, which are designed to catch only the most egregious speeders, not to serve as a “money grab.” Throughout, they stressed that traffic rules around schools aren't just bureaucratic red tape—they're essential safeguards for students, parents, and drivers alike. As the episode wrapped up, the message was clear: a little extra caution and courtesy on the road can make all the difference. Whether you're a parent, a teacher, or just someone trying to get to work on time, everyone has a role to play in ensuring that the Valley's children arrive at school—and return home—safely.

I had the opportunity to engage in a profound and revealing conversation with survivors of the Ohio State University sex abuse scandal. This podcast post aims to shed light on the harrowing experiences of these survivors, what Jim Jordan knew and didn't do, the systemic failures of the universities involved, and the urgent need for awareness, accountability, and change.The Survivors Speak OutThe survivors shared their personal stories of abuse, recounting instances of excessive fondling, drugging, rape, and voyeurism. They painted a disturbing picture of the environment at Ohio State, where faculty and staff were allowed to engage in inappropriate behavior. Their frustration with the legal system and the lack of support from the universities was palpable.Dr. Richard Strauss, a central figure in the scandal, was described as a manipulator who groomed his victims under the guise of medical procedures. The survivors emphasized the normalization of the abuse and the complicity of the institution in protecting Strauss. They drew parallels between the abuse at Ohio State, Michigan State, and the University of Michigan, suggesting a pattern of predatory behavior within large sports institutions.The Culture of Abuse in Athletic ProgramsThe survivors discussed the normalization and acceptance of the abuse within the athletic programs. They mentioned how the coaches and assistant coaches were aware of what was happening and even participated in normalizing it.

They highlighted the culture and atmosphere at Ohio State, specifically mentioning the sauna and showers where Dr. Richard Strauss would spend hours and engage in inappropriate behavior with the athletes.Systemic Issues and Legal ProceedingsThe survivors discussed the systemic issues at Ohio State University and the failure of coaches and administrators to address the abuse by Dr. Richard Strauss.
