An Open Letter to Governor Kim Reynolds
Dear Governor Reynolds,
The picture of you and your grief-stricken face at the press conference in Perry on Thursday reflects the pain and shock all Iowans feel at the horror of the school shooting there. You graciously pledged at that press conference to provide the “full resources of the state government to provide support” to the Perry community for its healing.
Did you mean it? Are you sincere? If so, prove it. Prove it to the young people who all of a sudden have been forced to grow up too soon to what hatred can do. Prove it to the hurting families in Perry. Prove it to the educators there who work so hard every day to help EVERY student achieve in a safe and caring environment. Prove it to all Iowans who mourn for Perry while fearing that the same thing will happen in their communities.
You could start here:
Stop marginalizing LGBTQ students and creating a culture of “the other.” All kids get hurt when some kids are viewed as outcasts.
Reverse your decision to refuse EBT funds for summer programs for hungry kids. There are plenty of kids in Perry who don’t need to go hungry on top of everything else they’re being asked to process.
Stop the attacks on funding AEAs and the work they do to help special education students, provide crisis team supports, and help educators meet the demands of 21st century learning.
Provide educators with the resources for professional development they need to deal with bullying and students with mental health issues.
Quit your association with Moms for Liberty and its venomous and outrageous positions.
Fund a truly robust mental health system that provides quality, timely, affordable, and easily accessible help to children who need it.
Honor the federal judge’s ruling blocking “wildly overbroad” Senate File 496 (book banning and curriculum decisions) that marginalizes certain students and undermines educators’ authority and local control.
Increase state aid to public schools to support the hard work that educators do every day to educate and protect ALL kids.
Back sensible gun laws in Iowa.
Stop bleeding public schools by siphoning off their public dollars to private schools (ESA)
Thoughts and prayers are easily offered. The flags you ordered be at half staff will be raised on Sunday. Politicians wearing “Perry Strong” hoodies will soon go back to their offices, Then what?
What happens at the state level will either help or harm Perry’s healing. You have promoted a system that increasingly puts poor children, hungry children, hurting children, and “different” children on the sidelines to promote your political agenda. Now all children in Perry suffer from those actions. Stop the madness.

Yeah yeah. We get it. You finally did something for a change 🙄
Thoughts n prayers n More Guns? I thanked the police so I don't have to say anything about Gun God!
IOWA law lets blind people buy and use guns.
I would like to take a moment to realize. That your f stupid if you think you can prevent it from EVER happing agin
Governor Reynolds and all the rest of the Republicans: given a choice between action on firearms and prayers, I'm thinking those killed and injured here and in the 600+ mass shootings of 2023 needed the former, not the latter. Even if you believe in God, do you really think prayers are a response to a mass shooting? Really? If you believe God is listening to you, why don't you publicly pray every morning, noon, and night for no more mass shootings? Why don't you publicly pray for the wisdom to take guns out of the hands of people who are a danger to others? And if God is so almighty, how is it that God allows children to be killed by guns every day in the USA?
It's another trans shooter watch the story disappear in 3 2 1.
Women make horrible leaders. They have other great talents like raising children and maintaining the household.
If/when the Buffoons in politics makes idiotic laws to ban guns……………they quickly learn “OUTLAWS ABIDE BY GUN LAWS JUST LIKE POLITICIANS ABIDE BY THE LAWS OF THE OATH THEY PROMISED TO UPHOLD” ……………almost NEVER!! 🤬🤬
It’s a lie to say these acts can be prevented…unless actual, real world gun control measures begin to be put n place. As a Republican governor in a Red State, that is not going to happen. Voters are causing these shootings and preventing any constructive measures to be enacted. It is the fault of the American voter.🤷🏼♂️
I understand why this keeps happening. 7 dead and we still start every speech by thanking the police.
This woman did not. ITS THE GUNS. KIDS ARE DYING BECAUSE OF YOU KIM.
Let me guess… Thoughts and prayers?
The news is not reporting another transsexual killer, why , because it doesn’t fit there narrative
Notice how Red States handle these kind of this versus Blue States. We don't instantly start screaming "BAN GUNS!". We thank the officers who did their job and cam running to help. Off mental health help to the families, and many Iowas like myself stand strong in our beliefs and understand that no law or ban will stop evil people from doing horrible thing.
Oh, look. Another school shooting NOT in a liberal hotbed. Another Conservative state. Another Conservative governor. Another Conservative terrorist.
(Daniel 9:27 was fulfilled on August 13 2023 also when the woman began travailing in birth to fulfill the time of the gentiles for the mystery of Revelation 12 to be completed, Daniel 12:1 next, three riders released within 2020 and 2023. These words are true and worthy, he who has ears to hear let him hear, and blessed is he who understands.)

“And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them. But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by. Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.”

“And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.”
Gospel of Luke, chapter 21, verse 25 to 28.
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.”
Gospel of John, chapter 3, verse 16 to 18.
“For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.”

First Thessalonians, chapter 4, verse 16 to 17.

How about stop the pissing and moaning, giving thoughts and prayers and actually go out and collect up the weapons and stop this madness. The 2nd amendment is about a well regulated Militia not the local yokel's right to bear arms. FYI those people in the Militia back in the 1780's, registered their weapons.
It’s not difficult to understand why the tradegy occurred in Iowa, unless your the Republican Governor. It’s guns, guns and YOU Kim and your Republican Party 4:28 who are responsible for this mayhem occurring nationwide because you’re in the pocket of the gun lobby
Peuples d hypocrite….loooosers
as he cares so much that she dclined school lunch for impoverished children. she's a ghoul
Just another day in America. Goodness.
Is it just me or is someone blaring their horn the whole time
One person died…. You don’t need the whole state the whole community isn’t grieving. Only the people of the students involved. And they’ll be fine. Omg its not a state of emergency
Ban vehicles for drunk driving fatalities!🤬😡
Surprise surprise it was a 🏳️🌈 crazy person
"Every Iowan stands with u"….how touching 😅
I can tell you why it happens since Kim has her head planted firmly in the ground… Guns are too easy get get & legislators are keeping it that way.
@ABCNews No sound.
No sound in the middle of the video? Why?
Is anyone else having sound issues with this video?
Thoughts and prayers for everyone involved. 🙏🙏
Was I ever wrong when I thought that school security would drastically reduce the possibility of a school shooting after the first one that I had heard about back in 1979, Brenda Spencer, the "I hate Mondays" girl in San Diego.
Yup,compliments of America's assbackwards white supremacy second amendment.
