grade school educator, and her students. From personal experience I have noticed the change in school systems where the building’s security has become more like a prison and less like an inviting community to learn because of the growth in school violence. House bill 186 clarifies the law regarding weapons in school safety zones consisting of any real property owned or leased by a school or postsecondary institution.

I hear the loud heavy sound of my breath along with the annoying *Clack, clack, clack* of my heels, which wasn’t helping my situation.

Gladstone suggests that the media is an “influencing Machine” throughout her graphic novel through her pictures and examples. Throughout the book she shows examples of how the media creates biases that effect the way they see people, topics, and events. Joseph McCarthy and the red scare was one of the examples that the author used to describe the influence that the media provided.
