In February, President English appeared in the Baltimore Magazine discussing the BTU’s support of the National Student Walkout against gun violence. The act signifies that we’ve all had enough when it comes to this current administration in Washington, DC turning a blind eye to gun violence. Our teachers and our students are paying for Congress’ ineptitude and inaction with their lives and it’s time we come together, in solidarity, to say enough is enough and demand that they enact stricter gun laws.
In the article, President English also mentions how we should also acknowledge, mourn and come together to do something about the young people in Baltimore City who have died from gun violence.
