Some have suggested a ”school shooting” episode of Abbott Elementary to call attention to the nationwide crisis of attacks on our school communities. Creator, writer and actress Quinta Brunson responded:
“Respectfully, Abbott Elementary the tv show is not a politician. Politicians are. They need to do something about it.”
'Sick to my stomach tonight over the love affair America has with guns,' tweeted Quinta Brunson, star and creator of ABC's hit sitcom 'Abbott Elementary.'
Irma Garcia, wife and mother to four children, and a 4th grade teacher at Robb Elementary in Uvalde, Texas, is another educator killed in yesterday's attack. All of our love and sympathy goes out to her family and loved ones, and to all victims, families and the Robb community. 💔
Today marks two years since the death of George Floyd, and our society is still not well. We often talk about healing, but it’s not healing we seek in the face of tragedy…heartache will always be there. What we need is change, so that others will never feel that same pain. ❤️
