Statement from Secretary Cardona on Today’s
Tragic Events at Robb Elementary School
in Uvalde, Texas
|
|
U.S. Secretary of
Education Miguel Cardona today issued the following statement in
response to the tragic events at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde,
Texas:
“My heart is aching for all the families in Uvalde, Texas who are living
through every parent’s greatest fear and worst nightmare: a shooting
in their children’s school. As a parent, I am filled with grief for
the families and students; concern that as our schools move past
pandemic closures, the fear of shootings has become all too real
once again; and anger at the lack of will by many to pass
legislation that can protect our children. I pray our nation has not
grown numb to the horrors that unfolded today at Robb Elementary
School, when the lives of 18 precious children and a devoted
educator were cut short. How many more lives must be lost before we
realize that we, the people, and those we elect, have the power and
the opportunity to ensure this never happens again?
“My team at the Department of Education is offering every available
federal resource—including through our Project SERV (School
Emergency Response to Violence) program and on-the-ground support—to
help the families, educators, staff, and greater Robb Elementary
School community recover from this trauma and loss.
“I spent the formative part of my career in a Connecticut elementary
school. I will never forget the ripple effect of fear and heartbreak
that spread among students and teachers in the aftermath of the
horrific Sandy Hook shooting. We must unite as a country against
this senseless cycle of violence, act immediately to protect our
children, and make sure that every child and every educator feels
safe in our schools.” |
