"The latest school shooting at a nonpublic Christian school in Tennessee sadly confirms what we already know – our schools are under attack."
Two years before a shooter opened fire on students attending daily mass in Minneapolis, the leaders of independent and Catholic schools in Minnesota begged Democrat Governor Tim Walz for help securing their schools, according to a 2023 letter reviewed by The Daily Wire. The funding was never authorized.
In a letter dated April 14, 2023 that specifically addressed “school safety in nonpublic schools,” Tim Benz, the president of MINNDEPENDENT and Jason Adkins, the executive director of the Minnesota Catholic Conference, stressed an “urgent and critical need in Minnesota to make sure our schools are secure and safe” in light of “recent, and continuing attacks, on our schools in this country and in our state.”
The letter says there are about 72,000 students in Independent, Catholic, Jewish, Christian and Muslim nonpublic schools within the state of Minnesota. It came just weeks after the shooting at a Christian school in Tennessee, which was also carried about by a transgender-identifying individual in their twenties.
“The latest school shooting at a nonpublic Christian school in Tennessee sadly confirms what we already know – our schools are under attack,” Benz and Adkins wrote. “In Minnesota, nonpublic schools, particularly our Jewish and Muslim schools, have experienced increased levels of threats, all of which we must take very seriously.”
“The tragedy from last week at Covenant School must never happen in Minnesota or in our country again,” they wrote. “We need to ensure that all [our] schools have the resources to respond to and prevent these attacks from happening to our schools.”
The leaders specifically called on Waltz for assistance in making sure not only that the Minnesota Legislature enacts his budget recommendation of $50 million...

Is the shooter a former Walz staffer?
“””Is the shooter a former Walz staffer?”””
His mom used to work at the school.
Are they kidding?
This is just the kind of thing the Democrat Party wants.
Meaning the shooters mom.
Require teachers and staff to be trained-NRA Gun Safety Course is good- and permitted to carry concealed but not required. Put signs on the entrances that teachers and staff are trained and may be armed. School districts do it here in florida. People who want to shoot up schools choose differently when they face the prospects of getting shot first.
While waiting for government funding, here’s an idea. Put your own armed security in your schools. Or at least give qualified staff ready access to weapons.
I hate to have to say it, but Minnesota teachers just see it differently than Florida teachers. Parents too...
Nobody has done anything since Columbine. It’s an issue not meant to be rectified. We can’t stop lunatics who want to murder and that’s how the Democrats want it.
“Minnesota Catholic School Leader Warned Tim Walz Of ‘Critical’ School Safety Threats. He Did Nothing.”
well, not exactly nothing: Tim mandated that tampon dispensers be installed in all boys’ restrooms ...
Chinese Communist supporter Tim Walz would use religion to fool the gullible voters.
He was once a Catholic but turned his back on it and allegedly was a Lutheran but lately only uses religion for political gain such as mentioning JFK memorabilia as a kid at home, implying Dem Catholic leanings to gain sympathy from voters now.

Yep they whip up the hate Trump and conservatives rhetoric and sure enough, the unhinged come out of the woodwork
that woman is a total nut case, she’s 5 shy of a 6 pack.
Walz is out to lunch.
He would probably have sent in cops to intimidate a priest who disagreed with the trans surgeries and with abortions and same sex “marriages.”
Walz is AWOL.
100%...Both her and blockhead are a couple of scary characters.
Walz enables this i.e. putting tampons in men's rooms
Seems tampon Tim lost another trans friend and school shooter, I’m sure he is in mourning.
