The C. O. W. S. w/ Dr. Angelyn Spaulding Flowers Part 2: White Children Still Shooting Up The Schools #UVALDE
The Context of White Supremacy welcomes the return of Dr. Angelyn Spaulding Flowers. A professor and coordinator of the Crime, Justice, and Security Studies Program at the University of the District of Columbia, Dr. Fowler is classified as a black female. She's one of the few black researchers who's written about the US scourge of mass school shootings. Dr. Flowers helped Gus and C.O.W.S. listeners establish a superb foundation for understanding school shootings in the US (and the world?). We discussed the book that she co-authored, 20 Years of School Based Mass Shootings in the United States, Columbine to Santa Fe, just as we began our discussion of the 1999 Columbine High School Massacre. We've done so much research since then and, tragically, there have been many more school shootings since our spring 2023 chat. We’re eager to hear Dr. Spaulding’s views on the conviction of black mother Deja Taylor, who’ll serve several years in prison/greater confinement after her 6-year-old son took her gun to school and shot his White female teacher. We’ll also discuss the Department of Justice report that suggests officers who responded to the 2022 Uvalde school shooting failed to respond in accordance with current policy related to school shootings. Some may call this cowardice. Some of the families of the 21 victims allege that Uvalde officers have harassed them over the months since the shooting. #PumpedUpKicks #TheGreatEqualizer #TheCOWS15Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#
