Am I Really Evil?
The Letters to the Editor section of the Jewish Link has become a battleground over the past month. To sum up, “It Is Time for Change” (March 29, 2018) opened a Pandora’s Box as the writer complained about the lockdown in Teaneck schools and pushed for Gun Control.
As I read last week’s article over breakfast, I began to hold my 7-11 coffee cup just a little tighter. An image of the CNN town hall flashed before my eyes. It’s happening again, I thought. Don’t get me wrong; I am petrified of the possibility of a mass shooting. My heart goes out to the victims, and I thank G-d that our lockdown was nothing more than a drill.

Ben Shapiro, editor in chief of the Daily Wire, recieved many letters from students who were guilted into the March for Our Lives, even though they disagreed with the Gun-Control beliefs directly associated with the March. The fact that many conservatives are scared to exercise their first amendment right is a deep issue that saddens me greatly. When I first heard about the shooting, I was nearly brought to tears. So why have conservatives been so vilified? Who or what is behind
