Petition to Teach Nonviolent Communication Skills in Schools
► Sign today!
Dear Supporter,
It's
been one year since the horrific tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary
School in Newtown, CT unnecessarily took the lives of 20 children and
six educators. And just this past week we witnessed yet another
shooting at a school in Colorado. Disturbingly, there have been more
state level laws passed during this time that loosen controls on guns
than there have been that tighten them. And, nothing has been done by
Congress at the Federal level.
The Peace Alliance believes a
different, positive, and certainly, sensible approach to protecting our
kids is appropriate. A great new petition has been posted in MoveOn in
remembrance of the Dec. 14th anniversary that gives us all an
opportunity to tell policy makers how we feel -- to be delivered to U.S.
House & Senate and President Obama.
The petition reads: "We
believe that teaching nonviolent communication at every grade level in
our schools will prevent the violent killing that is increasingly
prevalent in our schools and society. We ask that our governmental
leaders make this education mandatory in our nation's schools, beginning
at the earliest grades and continuing through graduation from high
school."
We couldn't agree more how important this could be. Please click on the attached site and show your support.
In the hope for a less violent society,
Bob Baskin
