Trumpet Hour: Parkland Shooting: One Year On

• A year ago last month, the worst school shooting in American history took place in Parkland, Florida. Today’s show is the story behind what led up to it.
• School and law enforcement officials implemented a policy aimed at reducing student arrests for criminal behavior, particularly among minorities. Statistics showed the policy was a success—but the true effects were terrible: Student criminality increased, and officials had to work harder and harder to cover it up to preserve their “enlightened” approach to juvenile delinquency.
• This example highlights powerful lessons we must learn as a society and in our individual lives: Evil must not be ignored, excused or accommodated. It must be eliminated, or it will destroy us.
• I conclude the show by discussing how an overlooked command in the Old Testament reinforces this principle on how to overcome evil.
