As the sun rose on a day that promised normalcy, a hoax at Southern Utah University shattered the illusion of safety for our youngest sibling and countless others. This week, we're peeling back the layers of emotions that entangle us when the sanctity of our schools is threatened. Hear the stories that don't make the headlines, from the frantic texts that leave parents grappling with impossible choices, to the personal connections that transform abstract news into a palpable nightmare.

We traverse the complex landscape of our nation's educational institutions, where the echo of Sandy Hook's tragedy lingers and legislative inertia on gun control fuels a desperate cry for empathy and action. Through gripping firsthand accounts, we confront the realities of school lockdowns—students leading amidst chaos, teachers summoning courage from shock, and communities wrestling with the psychological aftermath. Our conversation extends a hand to those who've faced such trials, honoring their resilience and advocating for the support they deserve.

Wrapping up, we step into the heated arena of gun control debate, not with statistics and rhetoric, but with the poignant reflections of those who've stared down the barrel of this issue. We share Dean's lockdown tale, a testament to the human spirit's capacity to find calm in crisis. This episode isn't just a call for change; it's a heartfelt plea for a world where education is synonymous with safety, and where the happiness we champion as a society is not marred by the sound of gunfire echoing through our halls of learning.
