Tandem Friends, FCE and Other Quaker Schools Unite to Support Student Activism on Gun Control

3/6/2018

Tandem Friends School is proud to join The Friends Council on Education and Friends (Quaker) Schools across the country in a statement of support for student-initiated acts of civic engagement around current issues of gun control and school safety, for the support of students from Stoneman Douglas High School, and in the pursuit of making schools places of peace and safety.

Tandem Friends Head of School Whitney Thompson joined with heads from over fifty other Friends Schools in America to call on public officials to "heed the call of students across the country and take action to address the multi-layered problem of gun violence...to urge our country’s leaders to listen deeply and carefully to our young people."
