#AskTheMayor: Guns in Schools?

The Brian Lehrer Show | Feb 22, 2018
This week NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio takes calls from listeners and discusses the nationwide student movement for stronger gun laws, and the various questions now facing students and teachers regarding safety, protest, and responsibility. The Mayor says he supports New York City students who want to participate in the March walkout (with parent's permission), calling it a "profound" and "teachable moment." The Mayor also said, in an effort to protect students, the city would move forward in daily unannounced weapons "scanning" in public middle and high schools.
