- Marjory Stoneman Douglas AP government teacher Jeff Foster has taught Emma Gonzalez, Delaney Tarr, and David Hogg. His key lesson, the one that they have carried forth over the last six weeks, is simple and powerful: if you don’t participate, you can’t complain. It’s a lesson that was on full display this weekend, as the Parkland movement swept over the country in the March for our Lives.

Teaching After Tragedy: The Parkland Teacher Who Sowed The Seeds Of A Movement | NBC News
It’s absolutely heartbreaking. All of us need to work hand in hand to stop another mass shooting from happening.
DreamingTata VeganMama what exactly do you think we should do?
No they need to stop faking these "shootings" and pushing the agendas we're being manipulated and it is not acceptable!
Michael Charity
I think you have a mental problem...perhaps you've been victimized by someone or something and you are afraid to be human and call the shots.
Sadly, we feel concerned that speaking against criminals and their polluted minds is somehow not acceptable or cool. You feel that right is wrong, and are certain that wrong is right, so much so that you want to convince others.
It's not only you, friend, but lots of crazies.
I am seeing so much criticism of those who want to support good, healthy youth.
Sorry, but I strongly can't be on your page.
Any action to stop bullying? That's a good start.
Time to get huge! It wasn’t staged
Bravo to this teacher for his compassion and honesty and for fomenting a promising future for his students and our country!
WE NEED MORE TEACHER LIKE HIM
israt jahan no we don’t we need teachers to teach and not push political issues on to children. And by the way a walk out is supposed to be spontaneous not funded and organized by organizations and millionaire actors.
William Casadone Ridiculous.
William Cassadone, for more than 150 years walkouts by unions, teachers, postal workers, and others have freequently been planned in advance not spontaneous. Those walkout by millions of people for generations have made significant advancements in our socieity, from civil rights, women voting right, right to a minimum wage, ban child labor, on and on. Sometimes it took years of marching and protesting and sometimes it took one move over one month.
Melissa Denbo yes your right but those were adults that had to pay real life consequences for their actions and these are children who aren’t taking any risks or being brave they are telling me I have blood on my hands and I support killing children because I’m in the NRA and have to have my rights taken away because of the actions of a mentally disturbed psycho that I’ve never even met why don’t they march against the stupid FBI and cowardly cops that did nothing when they could have stopped this long before it ever happened
William Casadone
"CHILDREN THAT AREN'T TAKING ANY RISKS"
????
You need your head examined.
This was one of the best way to get your words out your passion is in your voice and letting the kids just talk ! Thank you for all your doing .
I agree we need more teachers like him! Thank you!
He is able to engage his students. And that on it's own is fabulous. He is incredible and I hope that he can continue to inspire young leaders without such tragedy in the future. He is not alone. Spend your tax dollars on teachers such as these and watch your country grow! Legends exist all around you. It just takes a listening ear and love and encouragement. For all of us!
Even now It's crazy to think that kids were killed because of A sociopath who didn't seek any help. Schools should start teaching mental health and where to go to when you need help. At the school that I went to they have a program that helps kids who are depressed and I didn't even know about It. They should tell everyone that they have that program and any school who doesn't have a program like that needs to make one
My heart goes to the victims.
So proud of these people, for bending tragedy to hope!!!
i don't know if the Teachers or the Victims Family's will ever see this message but I'm really sorry what happened on that day my heart Goes out to all of you
i hope you all get the justice you Deserve :((((((((((((((((((
The art is an awesome idea . These kids are so brave to share theyre stories . R. i. p 17 angels
I agree that school, and other shootings of all kinds need to be stopped. The problem is assault weapons bans; when told "no one is taking your guns away", if left with only revolvers and shotguns, you ARE taking nearly all guns away....
No reason to have military style warfare weapons in the hands of the general public.
The 2nd amendment refers to what we now call the National Guard.
And now they stopped talking about it
So inspiring what strong people
Great video; thanks.
Wait I thought it was the student survivors that single handedly organized this # movement.
It was their idea
God bless this teacher
Thank you
Praying for the change
It happened again after this, and it will happen again, we have to change something. I’m tired of being afraid to go to school and so are many others!
I feel sympathy for these kids & teachers. I hope Nickolas Cruz gets the death penalty and pay for what he did.
I'm surprised such bright kids are from Florida.
It is in the hands of the electorate.
Great teacher! Terrible situation. #MSDStrong
4:20 okay... by doing what?... I want to know what specific policies you are proposing and we can discuss... not just vague and ambiguous speeches, chants, slogans and marches.
Absoluetly...
Also... guns don't cause violence, it is the fact that mentally ill person can get them. The law should not allow that. Another thing is that Parkland was so easily predictable and preventable, just if police and FBI weren't so ignorant. There were multiple cases where Cruz has death- theratened a person, or posted on social media about shooting up a school, this was reported to the FBI but they ignored that....
That's why many people.don't support them.They are just screetching maniacs.These people don't think and they're just angry.Hope they will all stop this circus for America's state and for their own mental health.
@@highkit I agree and hope so, but am not holding my breath
hmm...this is the fourth teacher who told students on this day they might be having a shooting drill. What a coincidence.
Jenny Melendez you mean fire drill?
What about the Maryland situation...those kids have to go back to school too!
H Pn
media doesnt give it a whole of attention as well as those kid speakers
Christian A they should..if they didn't have an armed security officer there...it would have been another massacre.
Each state is different. If astatw doesn't like the second amendment...they should put it to vote!
Great Mills High School in Maryland will re-open April 2, 2018. Like most school shootings, Austin, the killer, was motivated by love unrequited. Like most school shootings, Austin also killed himself.
What happened there?? Oh God. When will it stop??
It's already heartbreakening that it is necessary to have shooter-drills. I wouldn't want to have my kids have them - I'm from Europe
Now if someone say this fake in the comments,I’m gonna explode. I’m proud that these students who stood up for EVERYONE WHO HAS BEEN KILLED IN SCHOOL SHOOTINGS! This is now gonna be history,this is gonna be in our textbooks someday!
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!
wow i was not expecting t be in tears after this, oops.
Isn't strange that they always have a shooting during drills?
Future Child ?
Thank you for the subscription, Ally Grint-Potter, as promised I have subscribed back to you.
The first time when I read your username I thought It said,,GayEagle48''and I just couldn't stop laughing.I'm so sorry.😂
there was gross negligence by the school, the sheriffs dept & the fbi with this case that could have prevented this tragedy 3 times over, but instead of placing blame with the appropriate people & getting that fixed, lets ban together to take guns away from law abiding citizens. makes total non-sense.
Can I please be sure and not have a firearm on me when the next school shooting takes place? I would feel much safer if I was completely defenceless.
Did Mr. Foster have any input on the script, or was that all CNN?
There was no script
Nothing changed unfortunately.
How come the teacher told a student 4:20 the movement is summarized as "we just wanna make sure that there isn't another mass shooting in a school, at a concert, in a mall", but the marches mostly show the kids talking about gun control? Is it the media that only shows that part and not show the speeches that say they want to hear more solutions? I only hear them talking about some solutions, mostly having to deal with guns. Not mental health, or other topics.
For those who've bought into the massive straw man of people looking for gun reform I'll spell it out for you.
- We want to ban assault weapons, NOT semi-automatic weapons.
- We support the 2nd ammendment, and the right for a citizen to own a weapon such as a pistol or revolver. Please keep in mind that the constitution requires a *well regulated* militia. We are simply wanting to implement regulations that we desperately need.
- Every other modern nation has stricter gun laws than us. This isn't a radical idea. Places like England, France and Germany have not become tyrannical dictatorships because guns were regulated or outright banned. Gun violence is also very low in these countries.
Has Mr Foster ever outlined a lesson plan about Institutional failure??
I thought it was the students themselves who organized this movement??
They did. Teachers are allowed to join.
Const.... No, this was organized by the DNC and these Liberal teachers. They are exploiting the shooting tragedy and the students for their own political agenda.
Who knew not wanting to be shot at by a nut while attending school was a 'liberal' idea?
Constituent A They would like us to believe that. But this is about defeating Republicans in the Midterms. It's pure politics.
Oh jeez, defeating Republicans in the midterms would have been pretty easy without a school shooting. Many seats have already flipped in the numerous special elections since the general election in 2016.
Instead of walking out on one day maybe kids should walk up, walk up to someone that looks lonely walk up to someone being bullied and stand up for them and teach them to stand up for themselves and try to be their friend and do it EVERY DAY. The job of the strong is to protect the weak and make the weak strong
OMG, I love your comment! Well done!
You are correct. But some kids with major psychological issues won't respond well to overtures from classmates. The Sandy Hook shooter comes to mind. I'm not sure the Parkland shooter was bullied as much as ostracized because he was violent and unpredictable. Some of these shooters are sociopaths. But I agree completely that students need to take responsibility for those who are marginalized whenever possible. Compassion needs to become part of the curriculum - everyone would be better off.
More victim blaming....
William Casadone - How do you know they don’t do that?
You don’t.
tori2dles - I’m pretty confident the vast majority of them dont
The right to live should be higher then the right to have guns
Don't you think that the right to live, could better be protected had one of the people on that school had a gun to shoot the killer, then to wait for the police?
Can't they limit guns available to public to have a capacity of 2 or 3 bullets which would limit the deaths at the same time satisfy the gun lovers
Your blaming guns, NRA and the right? What about your government failing to ENFORCE current laws. Or just gov't. doing there jobs of protecting its citizens and not worrying who to arrest. If I lived in Broward county i would be yelling, protesting and demanding the Sheriff Israel & those cowardly sheriffs who failed to confront Cruz resign.
EMMA stands for Everyone Must Make America safe
HOGG stands for Have Our Guns Gunlocked
They all want to be News anchors...that explains it.
It does not
So they can too can protect the weak
So I guess we can't say that it wasn't adult manipulated anymore.
yet another pathetic right-wing attempt to undermine and trivialize what has been a truly magnificent movement to pry the NRA's bloodied hands from around America's throat--ain't gonna work!
Just sad
No one knows what real justice is ppl try to do what God would have and get hated
Just maybe this teacher should have been worried about the shooter's mental state as he was bullied by the very students that bullied him
Why do teachers permit students to bully and torment fellow classmates rather than show empathy for reaching-out with compassion? Parkland students drove a troubled young person who needed help into becoming a murderer. We need laws that hold teachers criminally liable when they contribute to causing these 100% preventable tragedies.
Have you ever wondered why no wars are ever fought in the mainland US of A? That is because the majority of our moms and dads have guns. Any army or guerrilla warfare would be suicidal inside the USA. We will never be invaded. So guns really are not the issue. The issue is selling guns to children. It should be 21 years old and after training inside big citys. If you grow up outside a big city, kids are born into guns and it is never an issue because the mystery of guns is removed when we are just kids. But in the city's, guns are always "taboo" so what do you think the kids will do? The will FLOCK to guns like stink on ship.
We need to let all US citizens whom have proven themselves to be legit humans carry concealed weapons throughout the land unencumbered. These idiots who pick soft targets KNOW that NO ONE HAS A GUN and they can go bezerk unopposed! Give teachers training and access to guns too! It is so a no brainer we have come to realize. I realize that you might think we are all safe and honkie-dorie in the USA but we are NOT! Guns keep us FREE! Every society that gets guns taken away ALWAYS ends up being OWNED by the government! The past does not lie. Several of us have totally flip-flopped on the gun issue once we really put our thinking caps on. We have all decided that 21 years old to buy a gun is the right thing to do after training...and yes, I am a survivor.
Pick up a world map and you'll get better at foreign policy. The main reason why Canada, the US and Mexico have not been invaded is because they are surrounded by oceans. To understand foreign affairs, always look at a map first. The 2nd amendment has nothing to do with foreign policy.
I guess all the other countries that wish us ill have no planes or ships by your analogy. Punt.
Republicans and democratics need to come to together find a solution to fix this problem! If it’s changes the age you can get a gun, or if it’s make it more background tests or however else harder they can make it. Or whatever they do, they need to do something! Because weather your republican or Democratiic, well as Americans should want the same exact thing! To make this country save for the younger, older, for any American!
Guns are only part of the problem. Guns should never be in the wrong hands. But a school with kids should be secure and therefore should be staff designated to watching and keeping things like this from happening and escalating to the level that it did. You don't have E mass shootings at police departments or military bases because there are armed personnel.
Anti gun propaganda.
stop blaming it on the shooter it is his fault but bullying causes such anger that one can shoot up a school
#StopBullying
Everyone gets picked on or bullied during childhood and adolescence, some of us unmercifully, but most of us did not take out our frustrations and hurt feelings by gunning down our torturers, and it does not make anyone but the gunman responsible--
No bullying committed, as the "gentleman" who blamed school bullies for mass murder revealed that he IS a fool--
Bob Lee Youre defending the shooter? Sick
suzanne oneill so does the shooter do it for fun?
what pushes the gunman to shoot?
BULLYING
so stop blaming guns and blame bullies
no po your sick for putting all the blame on him
hey lets make guns the scapegoat not our childeren who bully kids into commiting suicide and shooting up schools
is this teacher connected to the fbi too?
mike swiental I
Propaganda
You can't stop criminals.they will find a way to carry out crimes with guns or other ways
caren goodwin no one is saying crime will stop, controlling the types of weapons sold will lower the number of casualties.
You can make it very very very hard for them though.
But that "logic" there should be no laws at all. No Police Force, no courts, no prison system. People are just going to commit crimes anyway so why bother spending all that money? Right?
Don't make it easier for them. Why should it be easy for criminals
OrangeTabbyCat nope getting guns from the black market is not tough at all SMFH look at Chicago people
I think the teachers with guns is stupid idea
Aine Lawler why? If teachers are allowed to carry concealed and it is made know publicly that teachers at the school are carrying don’t you think that might weigh on the next shooters mind weather or not to go through with his plan?
The 2nd amenment needs to change this is not the 18th or 19th century anymore. This needs to change this did not need to happen.
This teacher is part of the problem
caren goodwin he wasn't the one shooting other human beings.
Are you paid to be stupid or are you just stupid?
Oops. U made a type. You meant “solution.” He’s part of the “solution.”
No need for rebuttal. I know what you meant. I just disagree.
That's about the most stupid statement I have seen in a long time
Your right these kids are giving up theyre rights...
