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.
